Four ways to upskill your team
Data & AI Fluency
Equip non-technical teams with the data literacy and AI awareness they need to make better decisions. From half-day immersions to multi-week programmes. Commercial, priced per engagement.
Technical Upskilling
Advance your existing data team's capabilities. SQL, Python, cloud platforms, AI tools — customised to your tech stack and business challenges. Commercial, scoped per engagement.
Funded Apprenticeships
Train your team through Level 3-5 programmes funded through the Growth & Skills Levy: from your levy funds if you pay the levy, and 95% to 100% government-funded if you don't. We guide your HR team through it.
Custom Programmes
Blend fluency training for the many with deep funded routes for your champions — one provider, one plan, built around the change you're making.
Smaller employer without a levy pot? From August 2026 the funding tilts further your way — see apprenticeships for SMEs. Buying rather than building? You can hire trained talent from us.

Employer proof
What employers — and their people — say
“I'm in HR, so I went in thinking most of it wouldn't apply to me — but I ended up automating parts of our HR process and building a system that flags people ready for promotion. Would recommend if you're in a non-technical role.”
Steph
HR, BVNK
“We enrolled two of our analysts and both came back more capable and more confident. The programme paid for itself inside a quarter. We're already planning to put a third person through.”
