Learn AI from PR Pro
Our trainer combines 15+ years of strategic communications experience at leading agencies and global brands with hands-on AI development skills - actually coding, building systems, and deploying AI tools rather than just theorising about them.
With a practical certification in machine learning and AI from Imperial College, his work focuses on real-world implementation: showing communications professionals what works, what doesn't, and how to transform workflows without the hype. He runs a respected learning platform testing AI tools specifically for communications practitioners, taking a "we tried it so you don't have to" approach.
Available as a 90-minute webinar (demo-led, interactive and practical) or a half-day online workshop (three hours, hands-on, with extended exercises and tailored action planning).
This course is delivered online so that the trainer can share the screen and tools with delegates.
Practical Training for Every AI Platform
All sessions are designed as tool-agnostic (transferable across Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) with specific guidance for Microsoft Copilot environments.
Note on Microsoft Copilot
All the sessions above are designed to be tool-agnostic, covering principles and techniques that work across AI platforms.
For organisations using Microsoft Copilot, we can specifically look at:
- Demonstrations and exercises which are tailored to Copilot interfaces (Word, Outlook, Teams)
- Copilot-specific guidance on integration with Microsoft 365 workflows
- Honest assessment of Copilot strengths and limitations vs. other tools
