You don't need to be a data scientist. If you work with spreadsheets, reports or customer information, this hands-on course shows you how to organise, analyse and present your data using AI. Fully funded for eligible learners across Cornwall and Devon.
What you'll learn
By the end of this course, you'll have confidence in:
Get confident with tools like Claude and Google AI Studio, and learn to write prompts that actually solve real business problems.
Clean up messy data, build clear dashboards, and present insights people can act on.
Automate the repetitive tasks that eat your week, and build simple AI tools around your own workflows.
Understand what machine learning is, where it genuinely helps, and how to spot opportunities in your work.
Stuart Borthwick
Before the course I was using ChatGPT like a search engine. Now I use AI strategically in my business, and it's genuinely been a game changer. I've restructured my week and no longer work Fridays, while still growing the business.

I came in with quite negative preconceptions about AI and left feeling confident and skilled. I can now work smarter, take on more complex analytical work, and offer a more commercially valuable service.
