The tasks that eat your day.
AI can do those.

Well delivered and the prompting techniques are genuinely useful. I wished there were more hands-on exercises during the session itself but the take-home toolkit makes up for it. Using it regularly now for budget narrative drafting.

Brilliant. Used the report summarisation technique on a 40-page compliance document the next day. Got the key points in two minutes instead of reading for an hour. Game changer for my role.

I am 58 and was genuinely worried I would be the oldest person in the room struggling to keep up. There were people of all ages and the trainer pitched it perfectly. Left feeling energised rather than overwhelmed. The venue on the South Bank was gorgeous too.

I went back to the office on Monday and used the email drafting technique straight away. A response that would normally take me twenty minutes to compose was done in three. My line manager asked what had changed and I sent her the course link. She has already booked onto the next one.

Best professional development I have done this year. And I say that as someone who usually dreads these things.

Used the meeting summary technique on my very first team call after the course. What used to take me thirty minutes of note-writing was done in five. My colleague asked if I had hired an assistant.

I have been tinkering with ChatGPT for months but getting mediocre results. The prompting method they teach here was the missing piece. Showed my team the next day and we have all switched to using the structured approach. Genuinely saving us about four hours a week across the team.

We are a small team doing the work of a much bigger one. Every hour saved matters. This course gave me concrete ways to use AI for grant applications, impact reports, and stakeholder updates. I have already reclaimed about five hours a week and it has only been a fortnight.

Good content but felt rushed in places. Would have liked more time on the toolkit section. Still glad I came and have used two of the techniques since.

I manage a busy GP surgery and time is everything. The course showed me how to use AI for patient communication templates and meeting note summaries. I have reclaimed about three hours a week. The NHS really needs more of this.

Well paced. Some of the prompting stuff took a few goes to click but by the end I had three templates that actually work for my weekly reports. If you sit at a desk all day, you'll get something out of this.

Within a week I had automated my weekly status report. What took forty-five minutes now takes ten. My director wanted to know how and I walked her through the exact method from the course. She is sending the rest of the team next month.

I came in thinking AI was for tech people. Left with a prompt library I have used every day since. The bit on meeting summaries alone saved me hours last week.

The coffee was excellent and the National Theatre is such a good venue for this kind of thing. Content-wise, the session on breaking down complex tasks into prompt chains was a revelation. Already used it to draft a funding application.

The venue at the National Theatre was a lovely touch. Great coffee too. But more importantly, I walked away with three techniques I used that same afternoon back at my desk. Already recommended it to two colleagues.

My boss had been asking me to look into AI tools for months and I kept putting it off because it felt daunting. This course was the perfect starting point. Clear, structured, and I left with actual things to try rather than just theory. Wish I had done it sooner.

Practical and well paced. No fluff.

Good solid introduction. I appreciated the honesty about what AI can and cannot do rather than the usual hype. Would have liked a bit more on data privacy considerations for our sector specifically, but the general principles are sound.

Solid session. The prompting framework is genuinely useful and I have been applying it daily. Only reason for four stars is I would have preferred more sector-specific examples, but I understand they need to keep it broad.

I now use AI to prep agendas, draft follow-up emails after meetings, and summarise long documents. Three tasks that used to eat my mornings are now done before my first coffee. The prompting framework they teach just clicks once you see it demonstrated.

Showed my manager the cheat sheet the next morning. We now use the prompting structure for all our content briefs.

Not a tech person at all. Was nervous going in. The trainer made everything feel straightforward and I left feeling confident rather than confused. Already using AI to draft maintenance schedules and contractor briefs.

Very practical session with clear takeaways. The only thing I would change is adding a few more legal-sector examples, but I realise it is a general course. The techniques translate well regardless.

I am not technical at all and was worried I would be completely lost. Not even close. Everything was explained in plain English and I left feeling like I actually understand what people are talking about now when they mention AI at work.

Good introduction to AI for the workplace. Four stars because I felt the second half could have gone deeper, but for a half-day session it covered a lot of ground. The prompting section was the standout.

I was sceptical going in. Thought it would be a morning of watching someone click around a screen. Instead I was doing my actual work with AI from the first exercise. By the break I had rewritten a report that normally takes me two hours.

I have already booked onto the full-day course off the back of this. The half-day gave me enough to completely change how I handle weekly reporting. The full day will let me go deeper on the areas I did not get to explore yet. Really well structured progression.

I was spending at least 90 minutes every morning just getting through my emails and updating trackers. Within a week of this course I had that down to 20 minutes. I actually leave on time now.

I was drafting client summaries manually every Friday afternoon. Now I use the prompting framework from the course and it takes twelve minutes instead of two hours. My manager noticed within the first week.

The structured prompt template is now part of my daily workflow. Genuinely transformative for someone who was getting inconsistent results before.

I look after three directors and the volume of correspondence is relentless. The email drafting framework alone has saved me at least an hour a day. Not exaggerating. I showed one of my directors and he was impressed enough to send his whole PA team on the next cohort.

Expensed it through work without any pushback. Worth every penny.

Will recommend to anyone who thinks AI is not relevant to their job. It absolutely is and this course proves it in about three hours.

Recommended it to my entire department. Three of them have already signed up.

What I valued most was the honesty. They did not pretend AI can do everything. They showed us exactly where it shines and where you still need a human brain. That credibility made me trust the rest of the content completely.

Useful half-day. The toolkit section at the end felt slightly rushed but the core content on prompting was excellent. I have the cheat sheet on my desk and refer to it most days.

Informative and well run. The trainer was engaging and clearly knew the subject. I would have appreciated a follow-up session or online community to keep the momentum going, but the content itself was very good.

The toolkit they give you is worth the price of admission alone. It is still on my desk three weeks later.

Honestly came in thinking this would be another tech fad session. Left with the cheat sheet pinned to my monitor. The bit about structuring prompts like briefing a new colleague completely changed how I approach it.

The prompting breakthrough for me was learning to give context before instructions. Such a simple shift but the quality of outputs improved dramatically.

I was already using AI a bit for social media captions but the structured prompting method took my output to another level. My manager said the copy quality jumped noticeably. I also liked that they were upfront about the limitations and where human judgement still matters.

Came for the prompting, stayed for the discussion about AI ethics in the workplace. Really thoughtful delivery.

First time AI felt accessible to me. Not scary, not overwhelming, just practical.
