"AI is moving at an incredible pace and presents huge opportunity for productivity and growth. Skills England has worked rapidly with tech companies to make sure the courses chosen for the AI Skills Boost programme provide the quality and capability businesses need right now. It's also a huge step forward that everyone who completes these short courses will get digital badges that properly recognise what they've learned. It's a simple idea that will make a huge difference."
"The courses, which the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) said can be completed in under 20 minutes, are available online and open to all UK adults. These courses aim to provide people with the skills needed to use simple AI tools effectively in the workplace by teaching the use of AI for tasks such as drafting text, creating content and completing administrative duties to free up time to focus on other work."
Over one million AI training courses have been completed since June 2025 under the AI Skills Boost programme. A suite of industry-developed AI-focused courses is available on the AI Skills Hub and can be finished in under 20 minutes. The online courses are open to all UK adults and teach practical uses of simple AI tools for drafting text, creating content and handling administrative tasks to free employee time. Learners who complete the courses receive digital badges to recognise skills. Major industry partners include Accenture, Amazon, Barclays, BT, Google, IBM, Intuit, Microsoft, Sage and SAS.
