Franchise opportunity โ€” now open

Build your own AI training business โ€” with experience and support behind you.

We're looking to hear from people who want to bring practical, plain-English AI training to small businesses in their own area.

You don't need to arrive as an AI expert. We're much more interested in finding the right people โ€” curious, confident communicators who enjoy helping others and want to build something of their own.

If that sounds interesting, register your details and let's start a conversation.

No commitment. No hard sell. Just an initial conversation.

Local

Built around practical support for small businesses

Not a traditional franchise

Build your own agency, with AI Academy behind you.

Franchise-style support, without the franchise rules

Let's be upfront: this isn't a traditional franchise. Agency owners are creative and like to lead from the front, and we don't want to box you in.

You'll build your own agency under your own brand, in your own way. We provide the training, the resources and the support, drawn from many years of working with household names and independent businesses.

You get the structure and know-how of a franchise, with the freedom to run your business your way.

Who we're looking for

You don't need to arrive as an AI expert. You do need to be the right person.

We'll provide training, materials and support to help you develop the knowledge and confidence required to represent AI Academy.
