AI Apprenticeships for UK Employers

Why AI training

AI and automation are no longer optional. Businesses are under pressure to improve productivity, reduce manual work, and upskill existing staff without disrupting day to day operations.

AI training allows employers to train staff in applied AI, automation, and data driven working, while using government apprenticeship funding to reduce cost.

This is not theory led training. Learning is applied directly to the apprentice’s role and your business processes.

Who This Is For

SMEs looking to improve efficiency using AI and automation
Employers with existing staff to upskill
Levy and non levy paying organisations
Operations, sales, admin, marketing, and technical teams
Businesses based in England

If you have employees and real processes, you are likely to be eligible.

What Your Team Learns

All learning is built around workplace projects that deliver measurable value. AI training develop practical, job relevant capability such as:

Automating Admin & Reporting

Learners build real automations that remove repetitive admin and manual reporting from daily work.

AI-Driven Decision Support

Learners apply AI tools to analyse data, surface insights, and support better business decisions.

Sales & Workflow Optimisation

Apprentices automate follow-ups, CRM updates, and pipeline workflows to improve conversion.

Operational Efficiency

Training focuses on removing bottlenecks across operations with practical automation projects.

Responsible AI Use

Teams learn how to deploy AI safely, ethically, and in line with organisational policies.

How Funding Works

Apprenticeship funding can cover most or all of the training cost.

Levy-paying employers use their levy funds
Non-levy employers may pay a small contribution
Training delivered alongside normal work
No loss of productivity or long time away from the job
