What delegates said.
Three unedited quotes from professionals who've taken AI for Business with us. People from global technology companies, major financial organisations and leading professional services firms — and what the course actually changed for them.
I knew AI was becoming important in business, but this one-day course showed me how to actually use it. The practical work with ChatGPT, Copilot and prompt engineering gave me techniques I could take straight back to my team. I was using AI differently before I even left the room.
What surprised me was how much we covered in a single day. We looked at AI for research, summarising information, creating content and automating repetitive tasks. I came away with a much clearer idea of where AI can genuinely save time rather than just using it because everyone else is.
This wasn't just a demonstration of AI tools. We looked at real business applications, better prompting, productivity workflows and the important questions around privacy and responsible use. One day was enough to completely change how I approach AI in my role — practical, relevant and immediately useful.
