Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how organisations operate — from customer service to marketing, logistics, and finance.
This short, practical course provides a hands-on introduction to AI and how it can be applied to improve business processes and efficiency. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain a recognised qualification in one of the fastest-growing technologies.
Over two engaging days, learners will explore the core principles of AI, experiment with real-world tools, and gain the confidence to apply AI in a business context. The course is ideal for individuals and small business owners who want to understand how AI can support productivity, innovation, and smarter decision-making.
Learners will complete a short, centre-devised assessment in college on Day 2 to demonstrate their understanding of the key topics covered.
The qualification is graded on a Pass/Fail basis, and successful learners will receive the SIAS Level 2 Award in Understanding Artificial Intelligence in Business.
