Dixon AI offers a three-level pathway of AI literacy training, built to meet you exactly where you are today. Whether you are just starting out or ready to deepen specialist capability, each level is designed to stand strongly on its own, while also fitting together as a clear, step-by-step programme. Taken in order, the courses steadily build confidence and real-world skill, from first principles through to expert practice.
These courses are ideal for individuals who want a focused, standalone learning experience, and equally well suited to organisations running a GEFIE programme who need staff to cover consistent, high-quality AI content. The three levels are: Essentials, Intermediate and Advanced.
