Is AI Training Worth the Investment for Your Business?

Here’s What You Need to Know

Over the past years, since ChatGPT hit the mainstream, the question for business leaders has changed from “Should we be using AI?” to “How fast can we get our team up to speed?”

That’s where AI training comes in.

But with prices floating between a thousand to tens of thousands of pounds, you might be wondering what you’re actually paying for — and whether it’s worth it.

I get this question all the time as a keynote speaker about AI, technology and the future of work. And as someone who’s trained thousands of professionals in AI adoption, digital marketing and digital transformation, I’ll break it down plainly.

As I know how busy you are…

What Does AI Training Actually Cost?

According to a recent article by Bizzuka, AI training programs vary massively depending on scope and delivery:

  • Self-paced online courses start around £50–£500 per person. Great for individuals, not ideal for company-wide rollouts. (For example, the AI Marketing Course)
  • Workshops and webinars can cost anywhere from £1,000 to £10,000 depending on the trainer, topic, and whether it’s remote or in-person.
  • Fully tailored corporate AI training programs with hands-on elements, business-specific strategy, and live consultancy? These are where serious results happen — and the price reflects it, often upwards of £15,000+

So where does my March AI Training Offer fit into this?

Well, that’s the interesting bit...

Why the March Offer is Different

This month, I’ve pulled together an AI training and consultancy bundle that’s far more affordable than typical corporate packages — without cutting corners on delivery, relevance, or impact.

➡️ See the full details: www.dansodergren.com/march-special-offer

We’re talking:

  • Half-day or full-day options - all online.
  • Live, high-energy sessions tailored to your industry
  • Practical tools your team can use immediately
  • AI strategy help — not just ChatGPT demos

Whether you’re in marketing, HR, comms, leadership or tech, this is hands-on, jargon-free, and built to help you stay ahead — not get stuck playing catch-up.

Don’t Take My Word For It — Here’s What Others Say

Let’s be honest, anyone can say their sessions are impactful. But when people like Jennifer Sproul, Matt Smith, and Daniel Coughlan take time out to say this stuff, it carries real weight.

🗣️ Jennifer Sproul, CEO at the Institute of Internal Communication:

“Dan's talk about AI was brilliant today. It was fast and fun, and full of great info... It really resonated with our members that there is so much more to think about and embrace AI.”

🗣️ Matt Smith, Director of Transformation & Innovation, THINK Digital Forum:

“A high energy trainer and public speaker! Dan had a really engaging way of explaining complex concepts in simple terms… the session was both high in energy and information-rich.”

🗣️ Daniel Coughlan, Head of Mobile Marketing at Digital Wholesale Solutions:

“His passion and expertise for the subject are contagious… His presentation style is engaging and thought-provoking. I highly recommend any forward-thinking organisation get him in.”

That’s exactly what my AI training is designed to deliver. But how do you work with me?

So — Is AI Training Worth It?

If your team still isn’t using AI efficiently, or worse, is relying on outdated info or ad hoc tools — then yes, it’s not just worth it. It’s essential.

The way I see it, AI isn’t the future of work anymore. It’s the present.

And my AI training isn’t just about learning how to prompt ChatGPT — it’s about understanding how AI fits into your workflows, your industry, and your people strategy.

Done right, training turns fear into confidence, confusion into clarity, and gives your team an edge that competitors will notice. Want to know where you might be right now in your AI journey - find out here and get your own personalised AI Maturity report.

Final Thought: Why Now?

Because waiting six months to ‘figure it out’ could mean getting left behind by businesses that are already moving.

The March Offer is built for leaders who are ready to take action — without the usual delays, faff, or inflated price tags.
