The AI Strategy Apprenticeship Unit is a 30-hour Level 5 Skills England unit (AU0009), £750 fully funded per learner, designed for leaders setting their organisation's AI direction.
Most teams of 8+ choose a closed cohort — your whole leadership group trained together, every module framed around your strategy, your board’s priorities and the AI decisions you are actually weighing. Same Level 5 unit, built entirely around your world.
Plus a prioritised use-case backlog scored on value × feasibility, a draft tooling strategy, and a board-ready 90-second pitch.
Every activity uses your real organisation as the case study. You bring the context, we bring the structure. By Day 5, you've got a one-page strategy signed off by your named sponsor, plus a 30/60/90 forward plan. Not theory, not a generic framework.
Six concrete capabilities, mapped to the Skills England AU0009 standard.
30 guided learning hours per AI Apprenticeship Unit, however you want them. Open cohorts run 5 × 6 hours for individual leaders. Most teams of 8+ go closed cohort, with the format tailored to your sector.
Join an open cohort with leaders from other UK organisations. Five live sessions of 6 hours each across 1–16 weeks, plus self-directed sponsor work between sessions.
Most teams of 8+ go closed cohort. We frame every module against your sector, your existing strategy, and the AI use cases you are actually evaluating. Real M&A scenarios or product-launch decisions become the artefacts each leader produces.
You don't need to be on the exec to take this. Anyone with autonomy to shape AI direction in their area or function fits the brief, and that's how closed cohorts of 8+ become realistic across your organisation.
