In short
The format matters less than the fit: a Focus Session gets everyone off the starting line, a Deep Dive (our recommended starting point) builds genuine capability across several workflows, and a Full Day takes a whole team from foundations to confident use in one go.
The basics
Three rungs, one ladder
Our three formats are deliberately different lengths because teams arrive at different points. The Focus Session is a sharp 30-minute push — ideal little and often to build a habit without disrupting the calendar. The Deep Dive is 3.5 hours of hands-on practice across several of your team's real workflows, with a written action plan and seven days of email Q&A afterwards. The Full Day is six immersive hours that take a team from foundations to confident, hands-on use in one sitting.
They aren't competing products; they're rungs on the same ladder. Every format runs on your team's own emails, reports, lessons or quotes — on-site or online — so the skills are usable the same week, not filed away as notes to action later.
Why it matters now
Length is a means, not the point
The common failure in AI training is optimising for exposure — a one-hour talk or a badge that doesn't change how anyone works. What changes habits is hands-on practice on real tasks, then reinforcement. That's why a Deep Dive beats a longer lecture, and why short Focus Sessions little and often often beat a single big day.
So the right format is the one that matches the change you want and the time you can set aside. We help you pick on a free discovery call before anything is booked — and many teams combine formats: a Full Day to launch, then short sessions to keep practice current as the tools move.

How we help
How to pick the right format
Knowing the three formats exist doesn't tell you which one your team needs — and picking the wrong size is how training money gets wasted. If your team has never had structured AI training, you'll recognise the signs: a few enthusiasts racing ahead while everyone else hangs back, no shared sense of what's safe, and a nagging worry that a one-off day would wash out by the following week.
Here's the simple way we match the format to where your team actually is:
Focus Session — get everyone moving
30 minutes to get the whole team off the starting line with confident, sensible everyday use. Best run little and often — weekly or fortnightly — to build a habit without clearing the calendar.
Deep Dive — build real capability
3.5 hours of hands-on practice across several real workflows, with a written action plan and seven days of email Q&A. Our recommended starting point when you want skills that genuinely stick.
Full Day — launch the whole team
Six immersive hours from foundations to confident use in one go — ideal for an INSET day, a team away-day or a launch moment when you want everyone moving together.
