SME AI training: complete definition in AI for SMEs

SME AI training is a structured learning program for Artificial Intelligence adapted to the constraints of small and medium businesses: short duration (2 to 8 hours), practice-oriented (real use cases, not Machine Learning theory), delivered custom according to the profession (sales, accounting, production, management). The goal is not to train data scientists — it is to make every employee autonomous with daily AI tools.

What it changes for an SME

AI training is often the first deliverable of a fractional AI leadership mission:

• the leader learns to evaluate AI offers and ask the right questions to providers;
• salespeople learn to write emails, LinkedIn posts and proposals with an LLM;
• assistants learn to automate email management, scheduling and meeting notes;
• accountants learn to extract data from invoices and feed their tool.

The formats that work

• Practical workshop (2 h): participants bring their own cases, we work on them together;
• Session series (4 × 2 h): progressive learning with exercises between sessions;
• Individual coaching (3 × 1 h): for sensitive profiles or complex use cases.

The format to avoid: a full-day theoretical training, too dense, with no follow-up, where nobody uses what they learned the following Monday.

What sets apart an AI training that works

Many AI trainings stop at demonstrating a tool, then participants go back to their habits. An effective training works on the company's real files and ends with a deliverable used the next day. That is the principle of our in-house trainings: every participant leaves with a working AI agent built during the session.

How to choose

• Content: do you work on your own cases or on generic examples?
• Deliverable: what does the participant hold at the end of the session?
• Follow-up: who answers questions afterwards? Who evolves the agent?
• Funding: is the training OPCO-eligible through a Qualiopi-certified body?

Frequently asked questions

How many participants per session? For hands-on work, 4 to 15 people: enough for exchange, not too many for individual support.

Is a technical level required? No. Business roles (sales, admin, accounting) learn to describe their need, and the agent is built with them.

Our in-house format starts at €490 excl. VAT per participant per day, see the Training page.
