What the Workshop Will Cover
The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC ) AI Academy was designed to help businesses move from curiosity about AI to practical, confident adoption in the workplace.

Build confidence in using AI tools to support day-to-day work.
Move beyond basic prompting towards more effective and structured use of AI.
Understand how personalised AI learning can help individuals and teams develop capability at their own pace.
Work through real-world examples and exercises using AI tools.
Leave with practical ideas they can apply immediately within their organisation.
The session is designed for business leaders and managers who have some familiarity with AI but want to increase their confidence, capability and organisational impact. Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop to take part in the practical elements of the workshop.
