What they say about us.

Alastair's AI workshop was highly successful. He made AI accessible and directly applicable to attendees' business needs. The hands-on sessions with tools like ChatGPT gave us the confidence to start using AI immediately. With 75% of attendees rating the workshop as excellent, we left feeling empowered and ready to innovate. Highly recommended for any business looking to integrate AI.

Alastair is the ideal person to run this sort of AI training workshop. His obvious interest and enthusiasm for the technology helps, as does his ability to break it down to really simple concepts. The workshop was well structured and informative, with great examples. Overall I felt I was being educated gently, without being patronised, by a trustworthy speaker. Put simply - it's all thumbs up from me. I hope I can make some of the future sessions.
