How We're Incorporating AI

Ready for the modern workplace

The best professionals of the future won't be those who know the most about AI - they'll be those who know how to use it well. That's what we build into this programme:

Understanding AI, Machine Learning and tools like ChatGPT - covered directly in Business Fundamentals, so you know how they actually work
Using AI to research faster and produce higher-quality work, without losing the thinking behind it
Canva's Magic Studio - built-in AI tools for creating branded content, taught as part of our IT Skills module
Critical thinking, judgement, communication, problem-solving and creativity stay firmly at the centre of every module - the skills AI can't replace

Entry Requirements

A Level, BTEC, National Level 3 / Higher Level 5, NVQ Level 3, International Baccalaureate, or Cambridge Pre-U Diploma, plus GCSE Maths and English at Grade 4+ (or equivalent).
