What Organisations Gain from AI Training

AI training isn’t a “nice to have”. It reshapes how organisations think, work, and collaborate.

  • Shared understanding - no more “I don’t get this” moments across teams.
  • Practical workflows that save time and reduce friction in everyday work.
  • Confidence to experiment, improve, and use AI safely and responsibly.
  • Better conversations about process improvement, automation, and investment.

Is AI Training the Right First Step for You?

AI Training is usually right for you if:

  • Your teams are curious but unsure where to start.
  • AI feels confusing, overwhelming, or “too technical”.
  • You want safe, practical early wins before larger projects.
  • You need stronger buy-in before investing in bigger AI initiatives.

If you already have strong internal skills and want to build something bespoke, you might be better served by:

FAQs About AI Training

Common Questions About AI Training with Hartz AI

These answers help you understand the role of AI Training in your wider AI journey. Specific course details live on the Academy page.

Is AI Training only for people who already use AI?

Not at all. Most of the teams we train are starting from zero. Our approach is designed specifically for non-technical professionals who need clarity, confidence, and practical workflows, not technical lectures.

How does training differ from consultancy?

Training builds skills and confidence across individuals and teams. Consultancy builds direction, readiness, roadmaps, governance, and leadership decisions. The two complement each other, and many clients use both to accelerate results.

Can we move from training into automation or bespoke solutions?

Yes. Training often reveals high-value opportunities for improvement or automation. When you’re ready, we can help turn those insights into implementation projects or bespoke AI solutions that turn what you’ve learned into real systems.

Where can I see specific courses, dates, and pricing?

All specific course details  including dates, formats, pricing, and availability — are listed on the Hartz AI Academy page.
