London has no shortage of AI courses. Most of them teach the tools in general and leave your team to work out how they fit on Monday morning. What busy teams tend to need is narrower: AI applied to the five or six tasks they repeat every week, with clear rules on what's safe.

I'm British, I've been in marketing for 23 years, and I built, scaled and sold a digital marketing agency. I train teams to build AI capability in-house rather than depend on consultants forever.

Why I train London teams over video

Every session runs over video. That isn't a compromise. It means people train at their own desk, on their own screen and their own files, which is where they'll use AI afterwards. It also means teams split between an office in the City, people at home and colleagues in another country can all join the same session.

It suits hybrid teams in particular. Nobody loses half a day to travel, and the session can be split across two shorter slots if that's easier to fit around client work.

UK data rules your team should hear about first

The question I'm asked most in UK sessions is what's safe to paste into an AI tool. The Information Commissioner's Office, the UK data regulator, has guidance on AI and data protection organised around accountability, transparency, lawfulness, fairness, accuracy, and security and data minimisation. The accountability chapter includes things to consider as part of a data protection impact assessment.

The detail most training misses is on the guidance page itself: the ICO says that, due to changes made by the Data (Use and Access) Act, the guidance is under review and may be subject to change. So I don't teach a rulebook as if it's fixed. I teach a simple habit: keep personal data out of AI tools unless your business has agreed it's allowed, and check the ICO's current guidance before writing a formal policy.

What a London team session covers

The content changes with your team. The shape stays the same.

1. A list of the tasks your team repeats each week, ranked by time.
2. Hands-on practice on two or three of them, using your real material.
3. Saved prompts each person can reuse, so results don't depend on memory.
4. Agreed rules on data, checks and sign-off, written in plain English.
5. A short plan for the next fortnight and a follow-up to see what stuck.

Teams I train in London

Marketing teams, agencies, professional services firms and founder-led businesses, from a handful of people to larger departments. Some arrive with Copilot licences nobody uses. Others have staff quietly using ChatGPT on their phones and want it brought into the open with sensible rules.

You don't need technical skills. If your team can use email, they can follow the session.

• Marketing and content: briefs, drafts, repurposing and reporting.
• Sales and account management: research, follow-up and proposals.
• Operations and admin: meeting notes, summaries and routine replies.
• Leadership: where AI goes first and who owns it.

What changes after the training

The best sign isn't enthusiasm on the day. It's what people are doing a fortnight later. Meeting notes appear without anyone chasing them. First drafts of reports arrive faster and need less rewriting. Someone shares a prompt that saved them an afternoon, and others start using it.

That's why every session ends with a short plan and a follow-up. Training that isn't tied to real tasks fades within a week. Training built on the work people already do tends to stick, because they see the time back straight away.

Beyond training

If you'd like the workflows built as well as taught, that's my consulting work. See my page for AI consulting in London, or compare options in my guide to AI training providers for UK small businesses. Everything I offer is on my work with me page.

First wins I aim for in a London session

I like every team to leave with at least one task that's faster the very next day. For most London teams that's one of four things: turning a meeting recording or notes into actions and owners; drafting a client update from a messy thread; summarising a long report into a page a director will read; or turning a rough outline into a first draft of a proposal.

None of these are glamorous, and that's the point. They're the jobs that eat the end of everyone's day. Once they're quicker, people trust AI enough to try it on harder work, and that's when the bigger gains arrive.

We also cover what AI is bad at, so nobody gets caught out. It invents facts and quotes with total confidence, it misreads tables, and it doesn't know your clients. A two-minute check before anything leaves the team prevents nearly every embarrassing mistake.

My plain advice before booking AI training in London

Pick the tasks before you pick the trainer. A team that arrives knowing which three jobs it wants faster gets far more from any session than a team that arrives curious. And agree the basic data rule first: what never goes into an AI tool.

Then judge the training a month later, by what people do differently, not by how much they enjoyed it.

Frequently asked questions

Do you run AI workshops for companies in London?

Yes. I run AI workshops and training for London companies and teams, in person or online, with every session built on the team's own work. I work with SaaS marketing teams, telecom companies and small businesses.

Who runs AI training for business teams in London?

Lilach Bullock, a British AI trainer and AI implementation consultant with 23 years in marketing, runs hands-on AI training for London teams over video, built on their own work.

Is AI training in London online or in person?

Lilach's sessions run over video, so people train on their own screens and files, and hybrid or split teams can join the same session.

What does the ICO say about AI and data protection?

The ICO's guidance covers accountability, transparency, lawfulness, fairness, accuracy, and security and data minimisation, and says it's under review after the Data (Use and Access) Act.

Which AI tools does the training cover?

Whichever your team uses: ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude or Gemini. The method is the same, applied to your real tasks.

Do London teams need technical skills for AI training?

No. The sessions are built on everyday work like emails, documents and reports.
