AI & Automation Training
Programmes
Develop the AI skills your organisation needs to work smarter, improve productivity and lead change with confidence.
Artificial Intelligence and automation are transforming how businesses operate, creating opportunities to reduce repetitive tasks, improve efficiency and make better-informed decisions.
But getting the most from AI takes more than investing in the latest technology. It requires people with the skills to recognise opportunities, apply solutions responsibly and lead change effectively.
At Avant Skills Academy, we’re introducing new Level 4 and Level 5 AI training programmes from January 2027, designed to help organisations develop the capabilities of their existing workforce.
Whether you’re looking to automate everyday processes or equip your leadership team to make informed AI decisions, we can help you explore the training opportunities available.
Unlock the potential of AI within your workforce
AI isn’t just for technology companies. Businesses across almost every industry have opportunities to improve the way they work.
With the right skills, your employees could help your organisation:
-
Improve productivity – Reduce time spent on repetitive administration and manual processes.

Invest in your people. Develop your business.
Your next AI specialist may already work for you.
Many organisations have employees who understand their processes, know where time is being wasted and can recognise opportunities for improvement.
Developing those employees through AI and automation training can help your business build valuable internal expertise while supporting employee development and progression.
For business leaders, targeted training can provide the confidence to make better-informed technology decisions and guide the organisation through change.
Our AI programmes are designed to bring learning and workplace application together, helping employees develop skills relevant to the challenges their organisations face.
Apprenticeship funding available
Developing your workforce doesn’t necessarily mean funding the full cost of training yourself.
Apprenticeship funding is available to support eligible employers and employees undertaking approved training programmes, subject to the relevant funding rules and eligibility requirements.
Our team can help you understand the available options, establish suitability and explore how apprenticeship funding could support your organisation’s development plans.
