What Our Clients Say

Attending this workshop was exactly what I needed to quickly bring me up to speed on how AI integration can generate business growth. The workshop provided me with a clear framework to help start identifying high-impact use cases. I now understand the huge potential for AI to assist in all areas of our operations, streamlining processes and boosting profitability.
Stav TheodoulouManaging Director, zynk Design
The workshop really opened my eyes to how AI can help me in my marketing role. As a marketing graduate from 2022, my degree did not contain any AI education so it has been useful getting up to speed on the developments. I came away with ideas of how to implement it into my role immediately, so I am looking forward to using them.
Zak TheodoulouMarketing Manager, zynk Design
I can’t recommend the Foundations of AI for Business course highly enough. As an independent business owner who wants to understand AI and take advantage of the opportunities it presents for my business, this course was perfectly pitched. Emma is knowledgeable, approachable and passionate about AI, providing lots of examples of how the technology can be successfully applied to your day to day business.
Vicky KiernanderOwner, Kier Comms
I have just completed the Foundations of AI for Business Course and it has blown my mind (in a good way). As a comms consultant, I have been dabbling with some of the mainstream Generative AI tools but, after the session today, I realise I am just scratching the surface. Emma has opened a Pandora’s box of AI possibilities which I am excited to explore more. She has also provided context that will help me understand not only what tools are available but also where they plug into the wider AI landscape and how they will turbo boost my business.
Katie LewisOwner, Brand Chatter
As a Contract Product Manager with experience managing machine learning and Intelligent Process Automation products, I can confidently say this was an excellent session.
Robyn ToddProduct Management and Consulting
“The Foundations of AI for Business course with Emma was a game-changer for my career. It opened my eyes to cutting-edge AI concepts and showed me how to incorporate these practically into my job to improve outcomes. It helped me to understand how to leverage AI tools for marketing strategies, content creation and data-driven decision making and Emma was fantastic at supporting this information with real-world examples. I feel much more confident in applying AI to enhance my work - I went from being fearful that AI would eliminate my job to feeling excited about how to incorporate it to optimise the services I already deliver. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve!”
Nicky JobsonDirector, Pace PR
“If I were starting a business today, I would recommend this course (Mini MBA in AI for Business). There is so much information on AI, it is hard to know where to start, and it can be very confusing. This course introduces you to all aspects of AI so that you can make informed decisions for your business. Combining this learning with practical skills makes this course invaluable.”
Barbara FromantLeadership Development Coach
I wanted to reach out and express my profound gratitude for the incredible direction your AI course (Mini MBA in AI for Business) has provided so far. It's truly been a game-changer for me.
Siddharth BandyopadhyayBusiness Start-up
I have been overwhelmed with the feedback from the businesspeople who undertook the first AI for Business Skills Bootcamp in Berkshire; all are intending to make changes to their ways of working following the learning. Working with Emma as our trainer on this programme has delivered a learning journey that inspires, challenges and develops those who attended.
