Practical AI and automation for education, with human acumen at the centre.

AIA helps schools, educators and students use fast-changing technology in a way that strengthens learning rather than trying to replace it. There is simply no substitute for interactive education, but AI can help alleviate some of the ‘out of hours’ work off the teacher, allowing them to be, not only, fresh and ready, but also, ahead of the curve of their students who are already using AI anyway.

CIS Copenhagen

AI Training for Students

A live, practical session on using AI responsibly and effectively - for students at CIS Copenhagen. Register below to receive the Teams meeting link.

  • Wed 30 Sept · 19:00 (60–90 min)

We focus on technology so your kids can focus on learning - but they learn how to use it.

That means no empty promises, no tech-for-tech’s-sake delivery, and no replacing professional judgement with unchecked outputs.

The goal is not to hand schools a trend. The goal is to help them build confident, responsible practice around tools that are already changing education.

The challenge schools face

Teachers are often handed new tools with very little time to learn them, while students can easily start using AI to copy answers without understanding the work behind them. In many settings, AI in education becomes either a ban or a gimmick. This programme offers a more useful alternative: practical adoption with clear boundaries and real educational purpose.

A shared learning journey

Across all three pathways, the programme follows the same learning spine. The depth, pace and delivery model change by audience, but the goal remains the same: confident, practical, responsible use.

01

Understand

Learn what AI and automation are, and what they are not.

02

Keep the basics

Use the tools to support thinking, not replace it.

03

Use with skill

Prompt, refine, verify and adapt outputs.

04

Add guardrails

Address integrity, privacy and over-reliance.

05

Build one thing

Create a real resource, workflow or automation.

Teachers

Reduce repetitive administrative work, create and adapt teaching materials, and establish clear standards for responsible classroom use, without handing professional judgement over to a tool.

What’s included
What teachers learn
  • What AI is and is not, and how it differs from automation
  • Where automation can save time on repeatable admin tasks
  • How to build lesson materials with AI and edit them critically
  • How to create a simple classroom AI policy around integrity and privacy
What teachers leave with
  • Three to five practical automations for their own workload
  • A reusable lesson pack they have built
  • A classroom AI policy they can apply

Students

Learn how to question outputs, improve prompts, verify information and use AI to deepen understanding rather than avoid the work.

What’s included
What students learn
  • What AI can and cannot do, including why it can invent information
  • How to use AI to check and extend understanding rather than skip the work
  • How to write, refine and verify prompts
  • The difference between using a tool responsibly and cheating
What students leave with
  • Healthier scepticism about AI outputs
  • A prompt they can reuse
  • A small useful project, tool or automation they have built

SEN-supportive delivery

Adapt the format and pace of learning through audio, visuals, simpler steps and reminders, alongside the learner’s existing school support.

What’s included
What this pathway focuses on
  • Identifying a learner’s preferred input channel: listen, see, or do
  • Converting standard materials into audio, visual, or simplified formats
  • Breaking tasks into smaller steps with reminders and timers
Delivery examples
  • Turn a worksheet into a short audio explainer
  • Convert a chapter into a one-page visual map
  • Generate a step-by-step task list with checkboxes

Included in the programme

The programme is designed to be practical and delivery-ready, not just presentation-based. Schools and participants are supported through structured sessions and ready-to-adapt materials.

Structured session plans
Practical activities & live demos
Preparation & follow-through checklists
Post-training quizzes on judgement
Templates & starter materials
30-day improvement plans
Classroom AI use policy starter
Parent/carer communication note

What makes AIA different

AIA’s approach is deliberately practical. We do not present AI as a shortcut around learning, and we do not treat automation and AI as the same thing.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an AI hype programme?

No. The programme is intentionally designed to be practical, current, and grounded in real educational use rather than hype-led claims.

Does the programme cover automation as well as AI?

Yes. It explicitly includes automation literacy - workflows, triggers, reminders, and small practical automations that create quick wins.

Is the programme only for teachers?

No. It includes three tailored pathways: teachers, students, and SEN-supportive delivery.

What do participants leave with?

Participants leave with something real they can use, such as a lesson resource, automation, project, prompt workflow, or classroom AI policy.

Does the SEN pathway replace formal support?

No. It supports learning delivery only and does not replace SEN provision, EHC plans, or professional advice.

Can this be delivered in school?

Yes - proposed formats include live or in-school teacher sessions, student workshops, and flexible support delivery.

Every participant leaves with something real: an automation, a reusable resource, a working prompt, a mini-project, or a practical classroom rule.

Our SEN-supportive pathway complements existing educational support. It does not diagnose or replace SEN provision, EHC plans or professional advice.
