A 10-week Generative AI Skills Bootcamp is now open for enrolment, with free places for the self-employed
Want to use AI at work but not sure where to start? A funded Generative AI Skills Bootcamp, run by award-winning training provider Techosaurus with Yeovil College, is now open for enrolment in Yeovil and Dorset.
The course is designed for people without a technical background. You’ll learn to use tools like ChatGPT to write, plan, research and solve problems more quickly, and by the end you’ll have a plan for using AI in your own role or business. It runs one day a week for 10 weeks, in person, from 9:00am to 3:30pm. It’s open to adults aged 19 and over, no AI experience is needed, and you’ll get three hours of one-to-one support in your own business after the course finishes.
What it costs
The full price is £3,990, but government funding covers most or all of it, depending on eligibility. Self-employed people and sole traders can attend free of charge. Limited companies with fewer than 250 employees pay £399, and organisations with 250 or more employees pay £1,197. Funding is confirmed by Yeovil College.
