FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about our AI training in Manchester.
What is the best AI training format for Manchester business teams?
Most teams start with a half-day executive briefing, then move to a 2-day intensive workshop for the first department, then run a 30/60/90-day adoption plan across the wider business. On-site in Manchester, hybrid, or fully remote for distributed teams.
How much does corporate AI training in Manchester cost?
Indicative ranges, net of VAT: half-day executive briefing from £3,500 for up to 15 people; 2-day department intensive from £12,000 for up to 20 people; 30/60/90-day adoption programme from £45,000 covering multiple departments and a champions network. All prices include workshop design, materials and a post-training adoption review.
Should we train on ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude or Gemini?
Match the tool to the stack. Microsoft 365 → Copilot. Google Workspace → Gemini. Regulated industries (legal, financial services, healthcare) often add Claude for long-document work. ChatGPT Enterprise is the strongest general-purpose layer for Custom GPTs. Most enterprises end up with two or three.
How do we avoid unused Copilot or ChatGPT licenses?
Unused licenses are an activation problem, not a tool problem. Adoption requires workflow-first training: identifying the five to ten weekly tasks each role does and rebuilding them with AI in the loop. Without that, users default to AI as a search box and drop off in week three — the Painful Tuesday pattern.
Which industries in Manchester do you train?
We train teams across e-commerce and retail (THG, Boohoo, N Brown), media and creative (BBC North, ITV at MediaCityUK), financial and professional services (Spinningfields), health innovation, logistics, and the university spin-out ecosystem.
Is AI training available in-person in Manchester?
Yes. On-site delivery across the city centre, Spinningfields, MediaCityUK in Salford, Manchester Science Park and across Greater Manchester. Remote and hybrid for distributed teams. Workshops are delivered in English or French.
How do you handle GDPR, ICO guidance and AI governance?
All training is delivered under NDA on enterprise tiers with no model training on customer data. We align materials to UK GDPR, ICO guidance, the EU AI Act for cross-border teams, and your internal AI use policy.
What does a 30/60/90-day AI adoption plan look like?
Days 0–30: AI readiness assessment, executive briefing, governance alignment, pilot department selected, baseline metrics captured. Days 31–60: workflow-first training, internal champions network launched, first AI-native workflows in production. Days 61–90: rollout to two more departments, ROI measurement, executive review, next-quarter roadmap.
Is training eligible for the UK Apprenticeship Levy?

Do you also provide AI consulting in Manchester?
Yes. Alongside training we run AI consulting engagements — readiness audit, AI charter and governance, 30/60/90-day adoption roadmap — on-site in Manchester or remote. See our AI Consulting London page for engagement details and pricing.
