LEARNING PATHS · ONLINE OR LIVE

Choose the way you want to learn

Start with everyday confidence, safer habits, a useful assistant or a real question you want to work through with us.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Support that starts where people are

Training is for people with different levels of digital experience and confidence, including individuals, neurodivergent adults, disabled people who need accessible digital support, older or low-confidence digital users, charity staff and volunteers, sole traders and small organisations.

People do not need to be technical. The pace and examples should fit the person and the task.

  • Protect sensitive information
  • Verify sources and claims
  • Know when a person must decide

  • Turn notes into actions
  • Keep responsibility visible
04

ASSISTANTS · BOUNDARIES

Build your own AI assistant

Design the purpose, instructions, approved knowledge and limits that make an assistant useful without making it unaccountable.

  • Choose what it may remember
  • Write safe limits and handoffs
05

AGENTS · TOOLS · HUMAN IN THE LOOP

Introduction to AI agents

Understand how agents use tools and context, where permissions become risky and why important decisions need a human stopping point.

CHARITY & COMMUNITY PILOTS

A defined local project, not a vague promise

AIGENCY can work with charities and community organisations on a defined AI confidence and safety pilot. A pilot can include a needs discussion, practical group sessions, Zoom drop-ins, a staff workshop, participant feedback and a short outcomes report.

The examples, pace and format should be shaped around the people the programme is designed to support.

PROGRAMME STATUS

Under development, with defined pilot enquiries welcome

This programme is not currently advertised as a scheduled, accredited or funded course. Dates, places, duration, price and funding status are agreed only for a defined pilot or commissioned session. Use the contact route to discuss a suitable format.

ACCESSIBILITY & COMMUNICATION

Clear, predictable and flexible

Support should be clear, patient and flexible. The aim is to give people practical confidence, not to make them dependent on a tool or a consultant.

Any accessibility arrangement is agreed for the programme rather than assumed or promised without preparation.

CLEAR BOUNDARIES

What this training is not

This is non-clinical education and support. It does not provide therapy, diagnosis, crisis support, care assessments, or legal, medical or financial advice.

AI should not be treated as an authority simply because its answer sounds confident. Important information needs an appropriate source and, where needed, a human decision.

EVIDENCE BEHIND THE APPROACH

Grounded in digital inclusion, safe practice and human oversight

The programme is shaped by UK guidance on digital inclusion, AI skills, accessible learning, privacy, human oversight and online safety. Guidance and tools change; organisation-specific legal, safeguarding, data-protection or clinical questions may need qualified advice.
