The University of Buckingham is approved to deliver new short courses in AI Leadership, funded through the Skills & Growth levy.

The university has been approved by Skills England to deliver a new suite of Apprenticeship Units focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI).

These short (approximately 30-40 hours), targeted units are different to standard Apprenticeship Programmes, as they are designed to help organisations rapidly build capability in one of the most transformative areas of modern business.

Apprenticeship Units are a flexible way to upskill existing employees in key priority areas, without committing to a full apprenticeship programme. They are designed to fit around the workplace and can be fully funded through the Skills & Growth levy.
