AI training for business and staff
Your team was handed AI. Give them the habits that make it pay.
Usage going up isn’t the same as value going up. A few people are brilliant with it, nobody knows how they do it, and nobody is sure what’s safe. Sooner or later someone asks: what’s our AI plan?
We reply within 24 hours.

The next horizon
The insight
The costly habits don’t look like problems on the day
A client’s details pasted into a free app. A confident summary that cites the wrong document. A three-week chat that’s quietly getting worse. A 20-minute awareness course doesn’t change any of them, because habits change with practice. So every lesson of The AI Stairway™ is practice, in the AI tool your team already uses.
What your team leaves with
The same careful habits for everyone
What never goes into AI, what needs care, and how much to check before anything goes out, in plain green, amber and red guide lines to use alongside your own policy. The Foundation series, Modules 1 to 5.
One page of team rules, and skills everyone can use
Your best people’s AI habits written down once, as skills the whole team shares, with a one-page rule on what’s allowed. Module 6.
A workflow plan with a 90-day test
Your people pick the AI idea worth doing, plan a 90-day test with a baseline and a stop rule, and specify the workflow for whoever decides. Module 10.
- Helps you show that staff are competent with the AI tools you give them.
- Supports AI literacy duties under Article 4 of the EU AI Act, if your organisation’s AI use touches the EU.
How it works for teams

How many people, who they are, and what you want them to get out of it.
2. We set them up
Send names and emails. Everyone gets an account and starts with the free module.
3. They learn at their own pace
Under an hour a module, on phone or desktop, with their place saved.
4. You see the progress
Who has started, who has finished, and their check scores, in one view.

Who wrote it
From the coal face
Andrew builds AI products for clients every week, and rolled AI out across his own team at Scorchsoft. The AI Stairway™ is what he learned there: the habits that work, the ones that cost, and the order to learn them in.
- · Founded Scorchsoft in 2010: software and AI products for start-ups to multinationals
- · Rolled out AI across his own team, and builds AI agents and workflows for clients
- · First-class degree in Computer Science with Business Management, University of Birmingham
- · Author of The Control Standard
Scorchsoft has built software and apps for organisations including Dragonfly Intelligence, Gapped, SensTrain and Mosaic Masterpieces.
When your team is ready to build the workflow, that’s Scorchsoft’s day job too. You’ll be offered a free strategy call when it makes sense, and “not yet” is one of the answers. The course is also available as SCORM packages for your own learning platform, under a licence.
Questions teams ask
Can we put the course in our own learning platform (LMS)?
Yes, for larger orders. Every module is a SCORM 1.2 package (SCORM 2004 on request), which works in most learning platforms. If you’re ordering for enough people, we can agree a licence that puts the modules in your own LMS, with your completions and scores recorded there. Tell us your platform and roughly how many learners, and we’ll put a proposal together. For smaller teams, your people use this site and you see their progress here. Training company wanting to offer it to your own customers? See our Partners page.
How do our people get access?
Send us their email addresses. We add them to your organisation and they get an invitation. As soon as each person confirms their email, the modules you’ve bought are in their account. Everyone can start with the free introductory module straight away.
Can I see how my team is getting on?
Yes. Managers get a team page showing who has started, who has finished, and how they scored on each module’s check.
What if someone leaves, or joins later?
Tell us and we’ll move the place. Someone who leaves keeps their own account but loses your organisation’s modules, and the place can go to someone new.
Can different people take different series?
Yes. A common mix is the Foundation series for everyone and the Advanced series for the people who will lead AI in the team. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll price it.
How do we pay?
By invoice, as you would any supplier, with a purchase order if you use them. We reply within 24 hours with a proposal. If your first paid module isn’t worth it, tell us within 30 days and we’ll refund it.
Tell us about your team
How many people, which modules, and when. We’ll reply within 24 hours with a team proposal, and you can try the free module yourself while you wait.
