Most training programmes make you wait until the end to see any benefit.
This one is different.
From the first lesson, your employee applies what they’ve learned directly in your business — automating real processes, on real work, straight away. By month three, most employers are already seeing measurable change.
“Just three months in and we’re already seeing real improvements. The team went from viewing AI as something complex and out of reach to using it as a practical tool in everyday work. We didn’t have to wait until the end — the results started almost immediately.”Adam, Director — Construction Company, UK
The automations your employee builds stay in your business permanently — delivering value long after the programme ends.

Most don’t stop at one improvement — and the value compounds as your team’s skills grow.
Most businesses are paying monthly for tools that automate tasks their own team could handle — if they had the right skills.
| Tool | What it does | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Fyxer AI | Email, inbox & admin automation | £25–£40 per user/month |
| Intercom Fin | AI customer support & query handling | £800+/month at volume |
| Drift | AI chat & sales conversations | £800–£1,000+/month |
These are legitimate tools. But many of the problems they solve can be built internally — using no-code and low-code platforms — by an employee who knows how.
| Subscription tool | Trained employee | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | £25–£1,000+ | Already on your payroll |
| Tailored to your business | Partially | Completely |
| Owned by you | No — cancel and it’s gone | Yes — stays in your business forever |
| Improves over time | Only if you pay more | Yes — as their skills grow |
“This isn’t about cancelling tools you rely on. It’s about understanding what you actually need to buy — and what your team can build themselves. Either way, you’re in control.”
| Structured learning | 4 hours per month |
| In-workplace implementation | 6–8 hours per week applying training to live business processes |
| Programme duration | 15–18 months |
| Qualification | Level 4 AI & Automation Practitioner (ST1512) |
