I'm Lilach Bullock, an AI trainer and implementation consultant, and this is my shortlist of the best AI trainers in Australia, sorted by the first problem your team needs solved: AI Advancements for a tool nobody uses yet, G3 Digital for finding where AI fits, Better People for a bespoke programme. I wrote this list and I'm on it.
Start with the problem, not the provider. A team that already pays for Copilot and ignores it needs something very different from a team that can't yet say where AI would help, and both need something different from a developer who wants to build agents. Pick the wrong kind of trainer and you'll get a good session that solves someone else's problem.
One thing I didn't expect when I read every site on this list: four of the eight providers say on their own pages that they're in Perth. AI Applied, AI Advancements, G3 Digital and Lucente Technology all describe a Perth base, so if your team is in Western Australia you've got more in-person choice than the national search results suggest. Everything about each provider comes from its own site, as of Nov 2026, and where a site gives no base I haven't claimed one.
Your first problem, matched to a trainer
| First problem | Who to ask | The trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Staff have a tool and barely open it | AI Advancements, AI Applied, Nexacu | Two are agencies first; one is a course catalogue |
| Nobody's sure where AI fits | G3 Digital, AI Success Lab | Audit before training takes longer to get going |
| You want a curriculum built for your industry | Better People | A custom build suits larger groups |
| AI has to arrive with your IT and security | Lucente Technology | Training sits inside an IT relationship |
| Some of your people want to build, not just use | Square1 Ai | Engineering and career focus, weeks not hours |
| A small team, online, trained on its own tasks | Lilach Bullock (me) | One British practitioner, not an academy |
Staff pay for a tool and don't use it
This is the most common starting point I see, and it's the easiest to fix, because the licence is already bought. The job is getting people to open it on a Tuesday morning.
AI Advancements calls itself a Perth-based AI agency that's active nationally, with strategy, development, automation and training. Its training menu lists AI Fundamentals, a Copilot workshop, a Claude workshop, a ChatGPT workshop and AI for Leaders, and it describes practical adoption workshops that give a team the skills and confidence to use AI in day-to-day work. It suits a team that already pays for one of those tools. The honest trade-off: it's an engineering-led agency first, and training is one service of several.
AI Applied describes itself as a Perth-based AI implementation and automation agency serving Perth, the rest of Australia and further afield. Its menu lists AI Training and Claude Training, which it describes as hands-on workshops in Claude, and its page says you chat directly with its founder, Ben. That's a real plus for a small business that wants one person to talk to. Training sits beside an agency build offer, so be clear which one you're buying before the first call.
Nexacu takes a different shape. Its site describes it as a provider of Microsoft end-user training and data analytics courses, with a Microsoft Copilot group (Copilot in Word, Excel and PowerPoint among them) and an AI for Business group listing ChatGPT Beginner, AI Prompting Fundamentals, AI for Business Leaders and Managers and AI Governance Training. If your team lives in Microsoft 365 and you like a scheduled catalogue, it's a tidy fit. A catalogue course is less likely to be built on your own tasks, so ask how much of the day uses your real work.
Not sure where AI fits yet
G3 Digital calls itself a Perth-based AI consulting company that helps Australian businesses adopt AI through strategy, workflow automation and custom development. Its process starts by finding the constraint that's limiting growth, throughput or revenue before it picks AI, automation or software, and its training page describes practical, hands-on sessions to build useful AI capability inside the business. I like that order of work. It's built for established, operationally complex businesses, though, so a very small team may find it more than it needs.
AI Success Lab says it offers human-first AI training, coaching and consulting for Australian businesses and teams, through a three-step process of audit, strategy and education that covers every task, role and department. Its menu lists workshops and training, speaking engagements, one-to-one coaching and a podcast. That gentle, audit-first start suits a not-for-profit, a membership group or a small team that's nervous about AI. The offer is broad, so ask which session format fits a team of your size.
A programme built around your tools and industry
Better People says it builds custom AI, cloud and data training for government, enterprise and SME teams, delivered in person or live online, globally. Its AI training covers Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, and its site makes a point I'd underline for anyone buying training: most teams start with a workshop on the tool they already pay for. It says every programme is built around the client's industry, tools and starting point, and that it can also build course material for teams who run their own training. That suits a larger or regulated organisation. A five-person team may want something lighter.
Rolled out with your IT and security
Lucente Technology calls itself a Perth-headquartered managed IT, cybersecurity and AI enablement business for small and medium Western Australian organisations. Its AI Enablement service lists readiness and strategy, Microsoft 365 Copilot, workflow automation, AI tools for staff, and governance and safe use. If your worry is data and permissions as much as skills, an IT-led rollout makes sense. The trade-off is that training comes as part of an IT relationship rather than a stand-alone workshop programme.
People who want to build, not just use
Square1 Ai describes a learn-to-launch platform with live AI bootcamps, AI-graded courses and a team product. It says its bootcamps run live on Zoom in cohorts lasting 12 weeks, with a project built each week, and it lists Sydney among the cities it teaches from. That's the right call for a person or a technical team that wants to build AI systems. It isn't a half-day session for a non-technical marketing team, and it doesn't pretend to be.
Where I sit
I wrote this list and put myself on it, so weigh my entry with that in mind. I'm a British AI trainer, implementation consultant and fractional CMO with 23 years in marketing, and I went all in on AI in 2024 and rebuilt my own consultancy around it. I work in English with clients worldwide, in person or live online, and online sessions run on UK hours, so check the time difference suits your team before you book anything.
My sessions start by asking your team for the two or three tasks that eat the most time. We build the workflow live on those tasks, people get hands-on time on their own work, we write the team's AI-use rules together, and everyone leaves with a plan for the next week and a one-page agreement on safe AI use. It can be a 90-minute workshop, a 45 to 60 minute keynote for a bigger group, or a series of shorter sessions over a few weeks.
Want AI doing the heavy lifting in your marketing?
I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.
I practise it on my own business. Between January and September 2026 my site went from 1,322 Google clicks a month to 6,412, and visits sent by AI assistants went from 32 a month to 3,599, measured in my own Search Console and GA4.
What I'm not: I'm one person, not a training company with a bench of instructors, and I don't issue certificates. I don't do engineering-led AI, such as training your own models or building large data infrastructure, and I say so on the first call. If that's your brief, Square1 Ai or an agency above is the better fit.
Four checks before you book
- Write down the one problem from the table above that's costing you most, and only talk to trainers in that row.
- Ask each one to show how a session would use your own tasks, not generic examples.
- Ask what your people will have in their hands afterwards: a workflow, written AI-use rules, a plan for the next week.
- Ask whether training is the product or the front door to a build, and decide which you want before the first call.
If you're comparing beyond Australia, my shortlist of AI trainers for business teams and the Canadian trainers list use the same honesty rules. If you need someone to build as well as train, start with AI consultants in Australia instead.
My verdict
I'd pick the tool your staff already pay for and train on that first, with whoever on this list will use your real tasks in the room. I'd skip any trainer who can't tell you, before you book, what your team will be doing differently the following Monday.
Training is where most AI adoption either sticks or quietly dies. I run AI training and workshops for teams, and help businesses with AI enablement and workflow automation, so the busywork runs itself and people get time back. Most of that work is with SaaS marketing teams and small businesses. Here's how we can work together.
Frequently asked questions
Who are the best AI trainers in Australia?
My shortlist includes AI Advancements, AI Applied, G3 Digital, Better People, AI Success Lab, Nexacu, Lucente Technology and Square1 Ai, plus me, Lilach Bullock. I wrote the list and I'm on it, so weigh my entry accordingly. It's a shortlist sorted by the first problem your team needs solved, not a ranking.
Should my team learn one tool or general AI skills first?
One tool, in most cases. Better People's own site says most teams start with a workshop on the tool they already pay for, and that matches what I see: people learn faster on something they can open at their desk that afternoon. General skills land better once there's one habit in place.
How do I check an AI trainer works on my own tasks?
Ask them to describe the session using two or three of your real tasks before you book. A trainer who works that way will ask you for the tasks first. If every example in the outline is generic, the session probably is too.
Can a trainer outside Australia train my team online?
Yes. Several providers here say they deliver live online, and I train teams live online in English. The thing to check is the time difference: agree session times that land inside your team's working day, and keep online sessions shorter than you would in person.
What should an AI-use policy cover?
Keep it to one page your team will read. It should say which tools are approved, what data must never go into them, who checks AI output before it reaches a customer, and who to ask when something's unclear. Writing it with the team in the room makes it far more likely they'll follow it.
Is a bootcamp or a half-day workshop better for a non-technical team?
A half-day workshop, or a short series of sessions. A bootcamp like Square1 Ai's runs for weeks and is built for people who want to build AI systems. A non-technical team usually needs hands-on time with one tool on its own work, then a follow-up once the habit has started.
