    Turn AI ambiguity into a clear plan of action

    Find the real AI opportunities in your organisation, prove they're worth pursuing, and build the case to bring everyone with you. This Apprenticeship Unit is 100% Levy-funded for UK organisations. 

    Spot the opportunity

    Cut through the hype to find where AI genuinely adds value. 

    Prove it's real

    Test feasibility, data readiness and risk with honest evidence. 

    Plan the pilot

    Design a test with clear success and stop criteria.

    Bring people with you

    Build the business case and communicate it to any audience. 

    Suitability

    This unit is for people who shape or inform direction.

    The right participant leads a team, function, or programme and is in a position to identify where AI could add value and to make or recommend strategic decisions about it. They don't need technical expertise, but they do need the authority to act on what they learn or a direct line to those who do. 
    Typical roles include (but are not limited to) heads of service, operations, digital, policy, or transformation; programme managers and programme leads; strategy analysts and senior business analysts; policy advisors; transformation and business change leads; and senior managers or general managers with a strategic remit. 

    Procure AI you can defend. Govern AI you can trust.

    Evaluate solutions with rigour, procure with eyes open, and build governance that keeps your organisation safe, accountable and in control. This Apprenticeship Unit is 100% Levy-funded for UK organisations. 

    Choose the right solution

    Evaluate vendors against cost, performance, risk and data readiness. 

    Procure with eyes open

    Spot vendor lock-in, data and IP risks before you sign.

    Govern it safely

    Design roles, escalation and assurance your organisation can trust. 

    Keep humans in control

    Build oversight that holds up under scrutiny. 

    Suitability

    This unit is for people who make decisions, or advise, on buying and governance around technology. 

    The right participant is involved in evaluating solutions, managing vendor relationships, shaping policy, or designing how your organisation governs its use of AI. They need enough proximity to procurement, compliance, or risk management to produce credible work - whether they own these processes or are the people who make them function. 
    Typical roles include (but are not limited to) heads of service, operations, digital,, or transformation; heads of procurement, commissioning, IT, information governance, risk, compliance, or assurance; data protection officers; governance and compliance leads; senior procurement and contract managers; IT and digital programme managers; information security managers; and commercial managers. 

    Lead AI delivery that lasts

    Lead the rollout, manage the impact on your people, monitor what's live, and communicate credibly when it counts. This Apprenticeship Unit is 100% Levy-funded for UK organisations. 

    Lead the rollout

    Drive AI change that's sustainable and strategically aligned. 

    Manage the impact on people

    Handle reskilling, redeployment and equality fairly. 

    Monitor what's live

    Catch drift, bias and degradation before they become crises. 

    Communicate when it matters

    Brief staff, leadership and regulators with credibility. 

    Suitability

    This unit is for people who lead implementation and manage its consequences. 

    The right participant is responsible for delivering change, overseeing AI systems in practice, or managing the impact on people and operations when things shift. This unit assumes real operational accountability — including workforce decisions, crisis response, and communicating with stakeholders inside and outside your organisation. 

    Typical roles include (but are not limited to) heads of operations, service delivery, transformation, change, digital, or workforce; directors and deputy directors of operations or transformation; programme directors; operational managers with people responsibility; senior HR business partners; heads of people or organisational development; and divisional, regional, or general managers with delivery accountability.
