“Mind-blowing, eye-popping, gob-smacking, jaw-dropping…if you can get a ticket to Get Started with AI, grab it with both hands! I went to this course on Monday. On Friday evening I realised that it was the first week in living memory when I got everything on my to-do list done. Just sayin’….”

A group of us, initially skeptical about AI, attended the 'Get Started with AI for Academia and Research' workshop, and we were amazed. Jonathan made the complexities of AI clear and easy to grasp, leaving us confident and excited to use AI in our work. We walked away with clear steps on how to implement AI immediately.

“I learned more in Jonathan’s brilliant two hour presentation than I did over the entire 12 week university-led AI diploma course. Jonathan gives excellent practical guidance on how to make AI work for your business.
