AI Course for Small Business
AI for Small Business Course
This is AI training built for the person who is also doing the quotes, the invoices, the social posts and the customer replies. It includes everything in AI Essentials — the full Foundations and Essentials tracks — then stacks a complete Small Business track on top, so you start from solid ground before moving into the business-specific material. Across 108 lessons and 25 hours you work through the jobs that genuinely eat your week and finish with a realistic 30-day rollout plan rather than a list of apps.
Who this course is for
- Sole traders and owner-managers doing several jobs at once
- Small teams of up to around 20 people with no dedicated marketing or admin function
- Trades, retail, hospitality, professional services and consultancies
- Anyone who wants hours back each week rather than a theoretical understanding of AI

What you will be able to do by the end
You will answer customer email and handle complaints faster without sounding automated, turn a rough scope into a quote or proposal that wins work, keep follow-ups going without letting them slide, and cut the time you lose to admin, invoicing and data entry. On the marketing side you will produce ads, offers, email campaigns, social posts and website copy on a budget, keep local SEO and reviews in order, and measure what actually works. You will also have simple end-to-end automations running, a clear view of what is worth paying for, and a working grasp of GDPR and what is safe to put into an AI tool.
How the course works
Everything is video-on-demand and self-paced, so you can start the moment you sign up and fit lessons around real work. Lessons run roughly 10 to 16 minutes each, are watchable on desktop, tablet or phone, and every one finishes with something concrete you can apply the same day. The teaching is tool-neutral across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and NotebookLM, so you are never locked into one vendor and you learn to pick the right tool for each job rather than forcing one tool to do everything. There is no exam to cram for and no prior technical background assumed.
Access and what is included
Your purchase includes 30 days of full access to all 108 lessons from sign-up, on any device. Not sure yet? Start with the free AI course at no cost, or step up to the AI for Business Course if you need organisation-wide governance and an EU AI Act path.
