Most corporate AI training courses fail: two weeks after the workshop, employees have gone back to their old habits. This is not a problem of willingness: it is a problem of method.

Phase 1: the business diagnostic

Before any training, Urban Academy carries out an audit of your business processes. The goal: to identify the 5 tasks for which AI can generate an immediate, measurable impact in your specific context. No generic training: each programme is tailored to your sector, your size and your existing tools.

Phase 2: hands-on workshops centred on your real use cases

Participants don't learn abstract features. They solve their own problems with AI tools during the workshop. An HR manager writes job postings in real time. A sales manager generates their weekly reports. An accountant automates their data preparation. The learning sticks because it is immediately useful.

Phase 3: the 6-week follow-up

Every Urban Academy programme includes fortnightly follow-up sessions over 6 weeks. Our trainers answer the questions that come up during real-world use, correct usage mistakes and reinforce the new habits. It is this phase that separates training that lasts from training that disappears after two days.

Who should be trained on AI first?+
Decision-makers, and teams doing repetitive work. Understanding the uses before buying tools avoids paying for solutions nobody needs.
How long until a team is autonomous?+
A few days of focused training covers everyday uses, provided the practice is anchored on the company's real cases.
Do you need an AI usage policy?+
Yes, especially for sensitive data. A few simple rules about what may or may not be entered are enough to start safely.
