For employers

Make a clearer decision about AI capability.

Understand what your organisation needs, explore credible apprenticeship directions or get independent help with a specific decision.

Choose the next step

Three different decisions. No compulsory funnel.

Understand current capability

Use the organisational check when you need a structured view of the conditions for safe, useful AI adoption.

Start the capability check

Explore programme directions

Start with the work someone needs to do differently, then review relevant standards and practical checks.

Explore programmes

Discuss a specific need

Ask for independent advice when role fit, funding, delivery or provider evidence needs closer examination.

Speak to an adviser

Organisational capability

Users, Enablers and Leaders play different roles.

These are connected workforce needs, not grades or a compulsory progression ladder. One organisation may need to develop all three at the same time.

  1. 01 · USERS

    Apply AI responsibly in everyday work

    People using approved tools to improve the quality, speed or consistency of work while exercising judgement.

  2. 02 · ENABLERS

    Improve workflows and help others adopt

    People redesigning processes, strengthening data and reporting, introducing automation or supporting change.

  3. 03 · LEADERS

    Set direction, governance and conditions

    People accountable for priorities, investment, risk, workforce planning and organisation-wide adoption.

What the assessment can tell you

A structured readiness view, not a claim about every person.

  • Highlights organisational strengths, constraints and priorities.
  • Separates evidence from assumptions and areas that still need checking.
  • Does not test individual competence or prove that a particular apprenticeship is suitable.
