AI fluency for every team. Confidence included.

From frontline teams to engineers, we help your people adopt AI with confidence - and use it to do better work, faster.

Trusted by top companies to revolutionise their teams

Human adoption is the AI hurdle

Tools are easy. Adoption is hard.

After 14 years of leading tech transitions, we know that impact doesn't simply come from access - it comes from mastery. We equip your teams with the mental agility to adopt, unlearn, and integrate new AI capabilities the moment they land.

BCG's 2025 "AI at Work" study shows:

The promise of AI depends on how it’s used

The opportunity isn’t just in AI tools -it’s in the people who use them.

Every business wants to unlock AI’s potential. But impact doesn’t come from access alone - it comes from confidence, capability, and adoption at scale.

Supporting stats (BCG and Makers):

AI-trained teams deliver 12% more tasks, 25% faster, with 40% better results
AI can save up to 15 hours per person per week - but only if teams adopt it meaningfully
The biggest barriers? Lack of confidence, poor workflows, and siloed skills

We don’t just teach tools. We help your people use them - in ways that stick.

AI Essentials

For non-tech teams

A practical, ground-up approach to AI adoption. AI Essentials equips your non-technical teams with the confidence and day-to-day skills to use AI well. Far more than a one-off course, this pillar builds the shared behaviours, habits, and cultural foundations needed for organisation-wide adoption.

AI Engineering

Where AI becomes part of how you build. These programmes help your engineers adopt modern development practices, integrate AI into their workflows, and establish the technical foundations needed for quality, safe AI product delivery. Teams learn to design and ship AI-powered software that is reliable, scalable, and delights users.

AI Strategy

Apprenticeships

Fully-funded by the UK government Apprenticeship Levy, apprenticeships are a great way to upskill existing employees or recruit new talent. Apprentices deliver immediate impact by mixing our training with on-the-job learning.

Commercially-funded programmes

Covering bootcamps, team upskilling and recruit-train-deploy Accelerator programmes, commercially-funded training programmes are a flexible, tailored approach to upskilling existing teams or building new ones.

Understand commercially-funded programmes

One size doesn't fit all

Different learning solutions

Different goals call for different learning paths, so we offer a variety of courses to suit every business. Read on to understand how they differ.

Apprenticeships are on-the-job learning programmes fully funded by the UK government Apprenticeship Levy. Apprentices are employed by a business and combine on-the-job learning with off-the-job training delivered by Makers.

Apprenticeships can be used to upskill existing employees or recruit new talent. They typically last between 12 and 24 months, and the learner is awarded a nationally-recognised certification.

For: Businesses who want to use their Levy to upskill teams or recruit new talent for immediate, on-the-job impact.

Our commercially-funded upskilling programmes are private programmes for your team, with varied delivery options: from 2-day offsites to 2 months of weekly workshops.

We take a consultative approach when you choose to upskill your team with us, aligning learner outcomes and delivery format with your business needs.

For: Businesses who want to upskill their teams quickly, with a bespoke approach.

Accelerator programmes use the ‘Recruit Train Deploy’ model to help you quickly build your tech team.

We recruit and train new talent according to your needs, then deploy them into your team on a 12-month contract. They then receive ongoing support and coaching from us to quickly propel them to mid-level.

For: Businesses that need tech talent - fast - and want job-ready talent with minimal onboarding time.

Makers is proud to be the original European tech bootcamp.

Bootcamps are intensive 16-week programmes that rapidly upskill people into new career paths.

We offer bootcamps to individuals looking to retrain in tech, or switch to a new tech discipline. These could be funded by the individual or by an employer supporting a career change or upskilling.

For: Individuals looking to fast-track their career into tech.
