AI Fundamentals for regulated firms

Understand what AI can do, where it can fail, and how to make sensible decisions about using it inside a regulated business. Non-technical, practical, and built around the work your firm actually does.

How we teach it

AI without the jargon

Your people don’t need to become AI specialists. They need to know what they’re using, where it helps, where it goes wrong, and when a decision needs governance or compliance review — taught with examples from the work regulated firms actually do.

Syllabus

What we’ll cover

01 · AI fundamentals

How generative AI, machine learning and automation differ, and where each one’s limits sit.

02 · Using AI at work

Prompting, summarising, drafting, research and meeting notes — and where human judgement still matters.

03 · Data & confidentiality

What happens to information entered into AI tools, and the questions to ask about client data.

04 · Accuracy & verification

Hallucinations, omissions and bias — and why a confident answer is not a correct one.

05 · Governance & accountability

Human oversight, approved use, escalation, and when a case needs risk or compliance.

06 · Regulated workflows

Examples from advice, suitability, client reviews, administration, investment analysis and reporting.

Questions

Before you book

Do we need any AI knowledge beforehand?

No. It is designed for non-technical teams.

Can you use examples from our firm?

Yes — and in the workshop and in-house formats, that is the point of them.

Is this only for financial advisers?

No. It is built for regulated financial firms, with the examples adapted to who is in the room.

Is this a qualification?

No. It is practical applied training rather than a professional qualification.
