AI literacy training for Irish SMEs.
The AI Literacy Workshop is hands-on AI training that teaches your staff to use AI tools well and safely, practising on your own documents. It is for Irish businesses whose people already use ChatGPT or similar tools without training or an agreed policy. It is also for owners who want to learn the tools first. It runs as one session. Half day, 3 hours: €950. Full day, 6 hours: €1,650. For teams that want more than one session, there is the Education Track. From €3,200 per programme. Prices exclude VAT; training may be VAT-exempt, which we are still confirming. For owners and boards, the Leadership AI Briefing lasts 2 hours and costs €450, excluding VAT, which is added at the standard rate.
Check whether this matches your business.
You run an Irish business, and AI tools have arrived before any plan for them. This page is for you if one of these sounds familiar:
We work across Ireland, remotely first and on site by arrangement.
What you are dealing with today.
You keep seeing "AI literacy training" and "AI Act training requirements", and you are not sure what your business has to do. Meanwhile your people are already using the tools.
What you want is simple. Staff who use AI tools well, a clear rule on company data, and a straight account of what the law asks. You do not want a course built for job seekers, and you do not want to be frightened into buying one.
The work, step by step.
Piotr, one of the two founders, leads the training. It is hands-on, with your team on site or online. In the workshop we:
The half day and the full day cover the same topics.
For teams that want to go further than one workshop, the Education Track has three programmes:
The Leadership AI Briefing is for owners and boards. It covers where AI pays in your sector, what it costs, what the law asks, and how to decide.
A written handover comes with every engagement.
From either workshop:
From the Education Track: one or more of its three programmes, priced per programme.

Grants that may pay part of this work.
Skillnet Ireland's Upskill SME Training Grant helps small and medium firms with the cost of staff time spent in AI training. Skillnet Ireland's own pages say:
What it does not fund:
So the grant never pays our fee. It could cover your staff's time only if two things were true. One of those approved providers would run our full-day workshop with us as its external trainer. The programme would be on Skillnet's programme list. Without both, the grant does not apply to our workshop. Skillnet Ireland decides eligibility; its guidelines say the eligibility stage "determines if the SME is eligible for the scheme".
We do not decide who is eligible. Each agency publishes its scheme's rules and takes questions. We never promise approval.

The AI Literacy Workshop costs €950 for a half day and €1,650 for a full day. From €3,200 per programme for the Education Track. All prices exclude VAT. Every price is published on our pricing page.
Here is what the law says. Article 4 of the EU AI Act has applied since 2 February 2025. National market surveillance authorities supervise and enforce it from 2 August 2026. Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 replaced its wording. The new wording asks providers and deployers of AI systems to "take measures to support the development of AI literacy of their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf ...". The new wording adds: "This obligation does not require providers or deployers to guarantee any specific level of AI literacy of any individual." The European Commission says "no strict requirements or mandatory trainings are imposed". It also confirms that a company whose staff use ChatGPT for work is in scope. We sell the workshop on what it does for your team: fewer mistakes, safer data handling, and staff who use the tools well.
Both workshops cover the same topics. They differ only in length and price. Choose the Education Track if you want more than one session: a four-session team programme, a manager programme, or train-the-trainer for your own AI champion.
Not the fee. Skillnet Ireland's Upskill SME Training Grant does not pay training fees. It repays part of your staff's salary cost for days spent in AI training, and only when an approved provider delivers it. The Funding fit section above sets out the rules. Skillnet Ireland decides eligibility; its guidelines say the eligibility stage "determines if the SME is eligible for the scheme".
It may be. Revenue exempts vocational training from VAT when five conditions are met. Our workshops and Education Track may meet them, but we are still confirming this with our accountant. Until then, treat it as possible, not certain.
We work remotely first and come on site by arrangement, anywhere in Ireland.
Every engagement has a fixed scope and a fixed price.
