More than half of Scottish organisations rate their AI and data skills as moderate to low.

Yet AI tools are already sitting inside many of the platforms we use every day.

The challenge for most businesses isn't access to AI. It's knowing how to use it effectively.

That's why we're working with the British Chambers of Commerce to bring the BCC AI Academy to businesses across Edinburgh.

Designed for non-technical professionals, the programme provides practical, role-relevant training to help teams use tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot with confidence, improve productivity, and identify opportunities to work smarter.

No jargon. No theory-heavy learning. Just practical skills that can be applied immediately.
