Three formats, used in sequence by most UK enterprises. A **half-day executive briefing** aligns the C-suite on what generative AI changes for the business. A **two-day intensive workshop** takes the first department — marketing, sales, finance, legal or operations — and rebuilds their core weekly workflows with AI in the loop. A **30/60/90-day adoption programme** turns that pilot into a UK-wide rollout with internal champions, governance and measured ROI. On-site in [London](https://wecallshotgun.com/ai-training-london) and across the UK — Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow, Cambridge, Reading — and remote or hybrid for distributed teams. ### How much does corporate AI training in the UK cost? - • **Half-day executive briefing** — from £3,500 for up to 15 attendees - • **Two-day department intensive** — from £12,000 for up to 20 attendees - • **30/60/90-day adoption programme** — from £45,000 for multi-department rollout - • **UK multi-site rollout** — quoted on scope, typically £80,000–£250,000 for 500–5,000 employees All prices net of VAT. Apprenticeship Levy and other UK funding routes available where appropriate. ### Should we train on ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude or Gemini? Match the tool to the stack. Most UK enterprises end up with two or three: - • **Microsoft 365 shops** — lead with [Microsoft Copilot](https://wecallshotgun.com/copilot-training) - • **Google Workspace shops** — lead with [Gemini](https://wecallshotgun.com/gemini-workspace-training) - • **Regulated industries** (legal, financial services, life sciences) — add [Claude](https://wecallshotgun.com/claude-training) for long-document analysis - • **General-purpose layer** — [ChatGPT Enterprise](https://wecallshotgun.com/chatgpt-enterprise-training) for Custom GPTs and cross-department use cases Read our deeper comparison: [ChatGPT Enterprise vs Copilot vs Gemini](https://wecallshotgun.com/blog/chatgpt-enterprise-vs-copilot-vs-gemini). ### How do we avoid unused Copilot and ChatGPT licenses? This is the most common question we get from UK CIOs and CHROs. Unused licenses are an [activation problem, not a tool problem](https://wecallshotgun.com/ai-adoption-glossary#ai-activation-vs-adoption). A Copilot for Microsoft 365 license is around £350 per user per year; a 200-person department where 60% of licenses go unused burns £42,000 in year one. Adoption requires [workflow-first training](https://wecallshotgun.com/ai-adoption-glossary#workflow-first-training). Without it, most users hit [Painful Tuesday](https://wecallshotgun.com/ai-adoption-glossary#painful-tuesday) in week three and quietly drop off. Our programmes are designed around that failure mode. ### Which UK industries do you train? Financial services (banks, asset managers, insurers, fintech), professional services (legal, consulting, accounting), media and creative, life sciences and pharma, retail and consumer, the public sector, and tech. Most of our UK work is with mid-market and enterprise teams of 50 to 5,000 people, with HQs in London and operations across the country. ### Can you run on-site AI workshops across the UK? Yes. On-site delivery in **London**, **Manchester**, **Birmingham**, **Edinburgh**, **Leeds**, **Bristol**, **Glasgow**, **Cambridge**, **Reading** and at client offices anywhere in the UK. Remote and hybrid sessions for distributed teams. Workshops in English or French. ### How do you handle UK GDPR, ICO guidance and AI governance? All training is delivered under NDA on enterprise tiers with no model training on customer data. We align materials to [UK GDPR and ICO guidance](https://wecallshotgun.com/blog/ai-governance-uk-ico-framework), the EU AI Act for cross-border teams, and your internal AI use policy. For regulated UK industries — banking, insurance, legal, healthcare — we adapt to FCA, PRA, SRA and CQC expectations.
