Option 2: Built for
Your Business
For teams with specific tools, objectives, or learning outcomes in mind.
Every business uses AI differently. If you need training that maps to your specific workflows, your existing tech stack, or defined learning outcomes for your team, the bespoke option gives you a session designed from the ground up around your business.
Bespoke sessions are available for any AI tool, whether that is Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or any other platform your team uses. The structure, duration, and content are agreed in advance to ensure the training delivers exactly what your team needs.
Format - Fully customised to your requirements
Group Size - Any, scaled to your team
Delivery - In-person or virtual
Tools covered - Any AI tool or platform
Includes - 30-min pre-session scoping call, custom session design, and 30 days of follow-up support including 2 dedicated follow-up calls.
Every fortysix ai training session begins with a 30-minute pre-session scoping call. This is where the exercises, practical tasks, and examples are shaped around your business, your team, and the tools you actually use. It means the session is relevant from the first minute, not generic.
The training itself is practical throughout. There are no slide decks full of theory. Participants work with real AI tools on real tasks relevant to their roles. Sessions cover how AI tools work and where they are genuinely useful, how to write effective prompts, how to evaluate AI outputs critically, and how to use AI responsibly within your business's policies and guidelines.
Both the Ready to Go and bespoke options include 30 days of follow-up support. This includes two dedicated follow-up calls, which are structured check-ins to address questions, review how the team is applying what they learned, and troubleshoot anything that has come up in practice.

The UK Government now offers free AI foundations training to every UK adult, and major tech companies including Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI all have free online academies. That is a good thing, as it means your team can access basic AI awareness at no cost.
But awareness is not the same as adoption. The gap between knowing AI exists and using it confidently in your specific business context is exactly where fortysix ai works.
