GROWING A BUSINESS

Business West AI Academy

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer the preserve of big tech or visionaries - it’s becoming a vital tool for businesses of all sizes to work smarter, make better decisions, and stay ahead of the competition. But, here at Business West, we know that for many small and medium-sized enterprises, getting started with AI can feel daunting.

About the programme

In partnership with Pair, an AI adoption platform, Business West is proud to bring a role-relevant, hands-on AI learning experience to our Chamber members across the South West. This programme is built to help you:

  • Understand AI fundamentals in real business contexts
  • Apply AI in your workflows (marketing, operations, data, innovation)
  • Measure and scale AI use in your organisation

We don't just teach theory, we build skills you can use on the job, from day one.

Key features include:

  • Hands-on masterclasses: interactive sessions with real business tasks
  • Role-specific assignments: tailored to your industry and role
  • Embedded learning: build AI skills while you work - no need to pause your business
  • Credentials and recognition: earn certificates and LinkedIn badges for accredited learning
  • Continuous support: access updated content, assignments, and peer learning through the Chamber network
