Train on live work, never on toy examples
Every applied exercise is built around a real artefact the participant brought — their bulletin, their board agenda, their customer email — collected in advance under an agreed data-handling rule.
Practical AI training for SMB and mid-market businesses, member associations, unions, not-for-profits, public-sector bodies and enterprise teams. Six courses from AI Foundations and applied workflows to tool evaluation, AI policy and decision rights, the Adoption Lab and an executive programme, plus tool-specific training for Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, AI WorkPlace and custom systems. Delivered in person or virtually across Canada.
Practical training built on the work your people actually do. They leave with tools they use the next morning, and we check the habit held ninety days later.
From a half-day on the basics to a full adoption programme
In person or virtual, delivered across Canada
We follow up on actual use, not satisfaction scores
Canada's own diagnosis is that businesses don't lack AI tools. They lack the ability to apply those tools to their own work, and that is a training and change-management problem.

What “make it stick” means in practice. We hold every course and every facilitator to these standards.
Every applied exercise is built around a real artefact the participant brought — their bulletin, their board agenda, their customer email — collected in advance under an agreed data-handling rule.
A participant who leaves with notes has learned something. One who leaves with a working prompt library, a filled-in checklist and a template has changed something. Every course is designed backwards from what it leaves behind.
The question "can I paste this?" arrives in minute four of the first hands-on exercise, not in a policy review six months later. Our Paste Test and decision-rights exercises put governance in front of the person doing the work.
We baseline confidence at the start, re-measure at the close, and follow up at 30 and 90 days on actual use — not satisfaction. Satisfaction sheets measure whether the day was enjoyable. We are selling whether the habit held.
Confidence is baselined at the start and re-measured at the close. Actual use is checked at 30 and 90 days.
Concepts in plain English — removing mystery, fear and jargon.
Hands on a tool within the first 30–45 minutes, and often.
What worked, what failed and why — judgement over blind trust.
Realistic workplace tasks so relevance is immediate.
Refine prompts and outputs — AI work is conversational, not one-and-done.
Each course is defined by who it's for, what participants can do afterwards and what they take away. Run one on its own, or combine them into a programme.
Confident, safe, everyday use — first on general tasks, then on your own workflows.
Which tools are safe, what may be pasted where, and who decides.
Turning fluency into a measured adoption plan, and equipping the sponsor who leads it.
Many organisations pay for AI licences that go largely unused. People try the tool once, get a mediocre answer and stop.
Each option below is our AI at Work course, using the same structure and learning cycle, with the demonstrations, exercises and prompt pack built for that specific tool.
That includes AI WorkPlace, our own enterprise AI platform — the one tool on this list we can teach from the inside.
A seat-utilisation review comparing what you spend with how your people actually use the tool. It usually makes the case on its own.

The team that will use what we deployed
Tell us about your organisation, who is in the room and how much time you have. We'll suggest the courses that fit and show what your team walks out with.
Two days
We sit with your team, not send a deck. Foundations and applied days built on your actual work, a half-day on which tools are safe, and a follow-up structure that checks the habit held.
Add C3 Choosing Tools to complete the AI-Ready Practitioner pathway.
Every programme is scoped to your team. We'll give you a clear quote on the call.
Every engagement is scoped to your team. Combine courses into a certificate pathway, or choose the format that suits how you buy training.
These are Bespoke AI Solutions certificates of completion and readiness, not accredited qualifications. Their value is the evidence behind them: an observed capstone on real work and a measured 90-day review.
One course from the catalogue, run for your people alone — so the examples and exercises are built from your actual work. In person or virtual, half a day to two days.
Best for: Teams booking training for the first time, or closing one specific gap.
A stacked pathway — Practitioner or Organisation — delivered as one engagement across a quarter.
Best for: Teams who want a credential and a measured outcome, not a one-off day.
Training scoped as the adoption phase of an automation, integration or platform we deliver for you.
Best for: Every build engagement. Adoption is what makes the system pay for itself.
A committed number of delivery days and materials access across a year, drawn down as needed.
Best for: Associations and mid-market clients with rolling intakes.
We certify your own people to deliver our curriculum internally, under licence.
Best for: Enterprise L&D functions that need scale beyond our calendar.
Plenary sessions and 2–3 hour breakouts for member conferences and all-hands events.
Best for: Associations and unions bringing AI to a whole membership at once.
Provincial and federal programmes often offset a meaningful share of employer-led skills training, and AI is a listed priority in several. We'll point you to what may apply and help you prepare the application.
Programmes are led by Nick, Co-founder & Head of Training, with Jordan, Co-founder & Director, on the governance and executive tracks. Between them they bring nearly four decades of operational leadership, change management and hands-on AI implementation.
We automate, integrate and deploy AI for clients every week, and that practical judgement is what we bring into the room.
