Overview

This is an introductory level programme for SME owners, managers, team leaders and professionals who want to understand how artificial intelligence can be used practically, safely and effectively in a business setting.

AI is no longer a future concept. It is already changing how organisations plan, communicate, research, create content, organise work and make decisions. However, many businesses are still unsure where to start, how to use AI tools properly, and how to manage the risks that come with using them.

This course will introduce participants to practical, low-risk ways AI can support everyday work. This may include writing, communication, research, planning, productivity, organisation, decision-making and improving the quality and consistency of business outputs.

The programme is ideally suited for SMEs and organisations that want to build confidence in using AI, improve efficiency across teams, and prepare for responsible AI adoption as expectations around compliance and governance continue to develop.

Participants will gain a clear baseline understanding of how AI can be used as a practical support tool within the workplace, while also considering data sensitivity, human oversight, responsible use and the importance of understanding the EU AI Act

Learning Outcomes

This short practical course will introduce learners to the ways AI tools can be used to support everyday business activity. Learners will explore how AI can help reduce time spent on repetitive tasks such as drafting content, preparing communications, organising information, researching topics, planning work and supporting decision-making.

Participants will gain an understanding of how to write better prompts and how to guide AI tools to produce more useful, relevant and accurate outputs. The course will also look at the importance of reviewing, editing and refining AI-generated content before it is used in a business context.

Learners will consider practical examples of AI use across common workplace tasks, including writing emails, improving documents, generating ideas, summarising information, supporting research, planning projects and improving internal communication. They will also explore how AI can help teams work more efficiently while maintaining quality and human judgement.

The course will outline key considerations for using AI safely and responsibly. This may include protecting sensitive information, understanding where human oversight is needed, checking accuracy, setting clear expectations for staff, and building awareness around AI governance and compliance.

Participants will also be introduced to the importance of the EU AI Act and why organisations need to prepare for responsible AI use. As regulation continues to develop, businesses will face growing expectations around how AI is used, managed and reviewed within the workplace.

By the end of the session, participants will have a stronger understanding of how AI can support productivity, how to use prompts more effectively, and how to apply AI tools in a practical, responsible and business-focused way.
