AI training Manchester
AI training for Manchester teams.
DLR Programmes runs hands-on AI training for organisations across Manchester and Greater Manchester, whether you're a professional services firm in Spinningfields, a media team at MediaCityUK or an SME in Stockport. Private sessions for up to 12 people cover Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and safe AI use, at your workplace, a venue you book or live online.

Training for the way Greater Manchester works
Greater Manchester packs a broad mix of employers into a small area: professional services firms in Spinningfields and the city centre, digital and media teams around Salford Quays and MediaCityUK, public sector bodies, and SMEs from Trafford to Stockport. They all use AI differently, so one script for everyone wouldn't work.
Before the session, we ask which tools you're licensed for, what your policies allow and which tasks eat up the most time. Every exercise is then built around your answers.
Examples shaped to your sector
In practice, the examples look something like this.
- Professional services: drafting client letters, summarising long documents and preparing for meetings in Copilot
- Digital and media: research, briefs, scripts and first drafts in ChatGPT, with clear rules on checking facts and rights
- Public sector: plain-English summaries, consultation themes and careful handling of personal data
- SMEs: quick wins in email, quotes, social posts and admin for small teams without an IT department.
In the room, online or both
Many Manchester teams split the week between the office and home, so we're flexible about where training happens. We can train everyone together at your premises, run the session at a venue you choose, or deliver it live online so remote colleagues get the same hands-on time.
For larger organisations we run several sessions of up to 12 people each. That way every group gets to practise, rather than sit and watch.
Programmes and track record
Teams with Copilot licences usually start with [Microsoft Copilot for Business](/programs/microsoft-copilot-training), which covers Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. If your team is earlier in the journey, [AI for Business](/programs/ai-for-business-training) is a practical starting point with ChatGPT.
We also design and deliver programmes for Business Gateway, commissioned by Elevator, and attendees rate our workshops 5/5.
