Have a specific question?

AI does not need to be complicated to be useful.

This one-day practical workshop helps managers and team leaders make sense of AI and use it confidently in their day-to-day work.

You will learn where AI genuinely adds value, where it does not, and how to apply simple frameworks that support your team rather than disrupt it.

You will leave with the language, judgement, and confidence to discuss AI clearly and use it responsibly in your role.

Does this sound familiar?

Your team is already using AI — but you’re not sure if they’re doing it safely or correctly

You’ve heard the hype, but don’t know where to start — or what’s actually useful for your role

Leadership is asking about AI strategy, but you don’t feel confident enough to lead the conversation

You’re worried about falling behind — but every AI course looks too technical or too vague

Why Point Academy?

We teach you to think critically — not just copy prompts. You’ll learn how to evaluate AI tools intelligently and implement them responsibly in your organisation.

No vendor sales pitch — We’re independent trainers, not software sellers. Our focus is on what actually works for you.

Small groups, real problems — Max 20 people means you get personal attention. You’ll work on your actual challenges, not hypothetical case studies.

Walk away ready to lead — By 5pm, you’ll have the language, frameworks, and confidence to guide your team’s AI adoption.

I walked in feeling like AI was something ‘other people’ understood — and left with actual tools I use daily. Now I confidently guide my team on when to use AI and when not to. Worth every penny.

Who is this course for?

  • Managers, leaders, and department heads who want to feel confident discussing and guiding AI use at work. — and want a clear, jargon-free start.

  • Directors and project owners keen to future-proof their team’s skills without the tech overload.

  • Professionals who keep hearing about “AI” but haven’t found a safe, practical place to explore it yet.

  • Professionals who want a safe, practical way to explore AI without needing a technical background.

Key learning outcomes

  • Gain clarity on the essentials:
    What actually is AI? What can AI do and what can’t it do?

  • Learn by doing:
    Write prompts, summarise long emails, generate agendas, and draft tough team messages. All live, with help.

  • Legal and ethics:
    Understand key boundaries (ethics, data, biases, legal) to experiment confidently.

  • Leading AI conversations:
    Learn how to talk about (and market) safe AI adoption with your own staff and stakeholders.

  • No technical background required. No vendor bias. Focused on practical leadership use cases.


Absolutely Worth It

Feedback from Past Managers

Verified

I was sceptical — another day out of the office for training? But this paid for itself in week one. I now save at least 3 hours a week on reports and emails. My manager noticed the difference.

Finally, training that respects that I’m not technical. Sebastian broke down everything into plain language. I left knowing exactly what to implement first — and what to avoid.
