The government has also launched the new AI Skills Boost Programme - a free training offer built by leading industry partners and backed by Skills England and the Department for Science Innovation and Technology.

Courses take anywhere from 20 minutes to a day, fit around working life, and teach practical skills you can use straight away – whatever your role or technical background. They’re currently focusing on key skills for those in small and medium-sized enterprises, where AI adoption lags behind larger organisations – but there’s something for everyone across the 14 courses.
