We are excited to announce an upcoming AI workshop in May that will be run by Vik from AI101 Academy, which will take your skills to the next level!
Running a small business in 2025 is not easy. You’re the marketer, customer service rep, admin assistant, bookkeeper, and boss — all rolled into one. And let’s be real: you’re probably tired, stretched thin, and don’t have hours to waste on admin tasks or budget to invest in marketing.
That’s where AI comes in — simple tools small business owners can leverage to save time and grow their business.
🛠️ What You’ll Learn in This Hands-On Workshop:
In this beginner-friendly, hands-on session, you’ll discover how to use AI tools to make running your business easier, faster, and less stressful — even if you’re not tech-savvy.
We’ll explore how small business owners can start using AI for:
📣 Marketing – creating content, ideas, and posts in minutes
💬 Customer communication – drafting replies, answering FAQs, and improving response time
✅ Everyday productivity – automating repetitive tasks, setting reminders, and organising workflows
💡 Business problem-solving – using AI as a thinking partner to generate ideas or solutions
⏱️ Get more done in less time, with less stress — all without hiring staff or buying expensive software.
You’ll walk away with practical tools, simple automations, and new confidence to start using AI in your own business without any technical background.
🎯 This Workshop Is Perfect For:
>Time-poor small business owners, solopreneurs
>Service-based and product-based businesses (local or online)
>Anyone curious about AI but overwhelmed by tech
>Those who want to work smarter, not harder
>People who don't have a technical background
💻 No Tech Experience Needed. We’ll walk you through everything step-by-step, with real business examples.
Date: Thursday 22nd of May 2025
Location: ABS Institute Training room 5 - 8 Welshpool Road East Victoria Park

If you’re not sure on what course to choose from and you just want to find one that’s useful, and can help you in the real world this is the one!! I can’t believe how beneficial this course has been in such a short space of time. I’ve learned so much and have had so much support throughout the course. I feel ready now more thsn ever to take what I’ve learned into the real world with me and use all the templates that have been supplied by ABS. A massive thank you to Sandra for her extensive knowledge and lovely personality in class. I would definitely recommend to do it in person rather than online as I started online and it felt like too much to figure out alone, as soon as I joined the class everything made sense! Good luck :) Deepak Chautmol2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
