Dixon AI offers a four-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 four levels are: Power Session, Essentials, Advanced and Expert.
Learn online, live, with expert tutors
All our courses are delivered live by experienced AI practitioners who combine clear teaching with practical demonstration. Each session is interactive and supportive, giving you the chance to ask questions, practise new skills in real time and learn alongside others. Whether you join a short power session or a multi-week course, you will be guided step by step by tutors who understand how to make AI accessible, engaging and immediately useful.
Our AI Literacy Power Session is the perfect first step for anyone new to AI. Designed for complete beginners, it offers a clear, friendly introduction to what AI is, how it works in everyday terms, and why it matters for you and your work. If you have not had any AI training before, or you are curious about AI and unsure where to start, this session is built for you.
You will be introduced to a broad range of practical AI tools and see what they are good at, where their limits are, and how to use them confidently and responsibly. Along the way, we define what “AI literacy” really means and why developing it is quickly becoming an essential skill for individuals and organisations alike.
By the end of the Power Session participants will be able to:
-
Understand what is meant by AI literacy and explain, in plain terms, how AI works and some examples of what it can do.
-
Understand how different AI tools and models produce different outputs
-
Understand how applying basic structured prompting can produce more useful, reliable outputs.
-
Identify simple, practical opportunities in their own role where AI could add value.
-
The Power Session is a non-technical, beginner-friendly introduction to AI that explains how it works in everyday terms and why it matters for your role. It is essential for anyone who wants a practical understanding of AI and for teams seeking a shared, confidence-building starting point. If you are curious about AI but unsure where to begin, the session provides a clear foundation to get started.
