How to choose an AI trainer in the UK
Decide first: a team workshop for a company, or a certificate for an individual.
Ask for practice on your own tasks with sample data, not only theory.
Check coverage of the AI tools you actually license.
Look for governance: data rules, review steps and the regulations that apply to you.
Check whether the training can be funded, for example through apprenticeship units under the Growth and Skills Levy in England.
Ask for relevant client evidence and a written agenda before paying.
Ask what support follows the training, such as a 30-day review.
