TESTIMONIALS

OUR CLIENT STORIES

This programme is built for ambitious organisations that want to embed AI into their DNA:

The AI Academy empowered me to create an AI agent that answers documentation queries instantly - saving me up to six hours a week. It’s transformed how I support our network and improved communication with colleagues worldwide.

Whenever I’m stuck or need a fresh angle, Copilot’s right there with ideas, insights, or even just a nudge in the right direction. It’s made my day-to-day work smoother and way more creative. Feels like having a clever teammate on call!

Building an AI-powered tool to plan our social media schedule has been a real game-changer. It’s freed up valuable time for creative work and steadily boosted engagement across all our channels – AI in action, delivering real, measurable results.

Copilot is now my go-to for everything from video scripts to event presentations. It quickly turns rough ideas into polished content in minutes, making my communications clearer, sharper, and saving me hours every week.

The training has enabled me to streamline campaign planning, generate content more efficiently, and analyse data with greater precision. This helped free up time to focus on strategy and creativity. PAIR AI Academy hasn’t just saved me hours; it has elevated my role!

AI has helped me create materials, case studies and tools that keep our resources clear, consistent, and adaptable to policy change. As System Architect, it has supported coding, database restructuring, API design, and much more!

WHY AI TRAINING MATTERS - AND WHY YOU CAN’T WAIT

The opportunity is clear:

35% of SMEs are now using AI technology (up from 25% in 2024).
46% of B2B service firms in finance, law, and marketing are embedding AI in their work.
But only 26% of B2C firms and manufacturers are using it.
And only 11% of SMEs are using AI to its full potential *

Are you fully using AI'S POTENTIAL?

You already have access to powerful AI tools… many are free or included in your existing software. But are you and your team truly making the most of them?

Many businesses have AI licences for tools like Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT but never see results, simply because staff don’t know how to apply them to daily work.

The BCC AI Academy shows you how to use AI better: transforming rough ideas into polished content, automating repetitive tasks, and unlocking new levels of efficiency, growth, and innovation.
