AI Training Ireland

Most AI training teaches tools. This starts with a diagnostic of how your team actually works — then trains them on what will move the needle, not a generic tour of features.

The problem

Why generic AI training doesn't work

A tool demonstration is not training. Most AI courses show a room full of people what ChatGPT or Copilot can do, everyone nods, and nothing changes the following Monday. Attendance goes up. Productivity stays flat.

The reason is structural. Generic training starts from the tool and works outward, hoping it lands somewhere useful. It never starts from how your team actually spends its time — so it can't tell anyone which of their real tasks AI should touch, and which it should not.

The Irish market is filling with accredited courses, university-backed certificates and free government literacy programmes. They are fine at raising awareness. None of them start with your organisation's situation, and none of them measure whether anything changed.

Practical AI training works the other way around. Diagnose how the team works first. Train them on the specific applications that fit. Then measure what moved.

The format

AI training for leadership teams

A half-day or full-day session for 6 to 20 participants, customised to your sector. Before the session, working patterns are baselined using Microsoft 365 data — so the training addresses how your people actually work, not a generic persona.

The session introduces AI applications as solutions to the specific friction the diagnostic surfaced. Each participant leaves with a Cognitive Operating Plan: what to change, what to automate, and what to stop doing.

Bespoke AI training

Every session is built from your diagnostic, not pulled off a shelf. Sector-customised, M365 data-informed, with measurable outcomes tracked after delivery.

Who it's for

AI training for professional services

Legal

Legal teams and solicitor firms

Practical AI training mapped to professional conduct, confidentiality and privilege obligations. Acuity built two of the practitioner tools live on the Law Society of Ireland's AI resources.

Financial services

Financial services and regulated organisations

Training that accounts for the regulatory environment — what staff can and cannot do with AI, evidenced. Delivered inside PRA/FCA-regulated and Central Bank-regulated environments.

Public sector

Semi-state and public sector leadership

AI training for organisations with statutory obligations and public accountability. Informed by current NED roles at daa plc and Tailte Éireann.

SME

SME leadership teams

Training scoped for owner-managers and small leadership teams — focused on the handful of workflows where AI earns its place, not a generic tour of tools.

Boards

Board-level and director cohorts

Director education delivered for the Institute of Directors Ireland. Built around what directors actually need to govern AI — not what makes a good conference session.

Delivered for the Law Society of Ireland, the Institute of Directors Ireland, Danske Bank and Kroll, among others. See the work →

Who delivers it

The person who runs the training designed it

AI training at Acuity is led by Ger Perdisatt — former Chief Operating Officer of Microsoft's Enterprise business across Western Europe, current Non-Executive Director at daa plc and Tailte Éireann, and an ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Lead Auditor.

Not a trainer reading from someone else's deck. The person who diagnoses your team and delivers the session is the person who built the method — and who has deployed it inside regulated Irish organisations. Acuity also delivers AI governance training, EU AI Act readiness, and AI consulting.
