Our approach
DevOn’s approach to AI training is relentlessly hands-on, because you can only grasp AI by applying it in a realistic setting. You will learn just enough about the concepts to be an informed user, but we won’t bore you with theory when you could already be doing!
Our full public course listing is available at devonacademy.com and our most popular courses are described below.
Need something tailored just for you, especially when you have many personas to train and can’t quite figure out who needs what? Get in touch and we will discuss.
Top five AI courses at DevOn Academy

The changes that AI unleashes go far beyond technology, but you can only benefit if all levels of the organisation are bought in. If you need business or technical leadership to see for themselves just how much AI is capable of, and the value possible in your organisation, we can build a custom session for you.

Github Copilot has come a long way since 2022. Whatever your specific technical role, if you write code then teaming up with AI can improve the speed, and more importantly the quality, of what you do. We have found the “aha moment” varies by individual, so our training takes you through many scenarios, going well beyond low-hanging fruit like code completion, in to agentic approaches as well.

Everything you wanted to know about AI but were too afraid to ask.There has been an explosion of free AI training, especially by people trying to sell you their particular product. So it’s entirely natural to feel lost at this stage of AI adoption! We don’t want that disoriented feeling to make you afraid to ask the questions on your mind, to expert humans, who can put this all in context and help you find a path. Our AI Fundamentals course offers just that!

In your personal life you use all kinds of AI tools, with startling results…but when you pick up your work device, none of those are available! Working with enterprise tools, like Microsoft Copilot, takes a more careful mindset but the payoff can be significant: finally apply AI to your most sensitive and valuable data, safely. You will learn hands-on the most effective day-to-day and strategic use cases, ready to use tomorrow.

Congratulations, someone made you responsible for making AI successful! Whether you asked for that or not, you’ll face two universal challenges: where to begin, and how to manage the work. While good project or product management skills take you a long way with AI, there are important nuances, which you’ll learn through a series of hands-on case studies. Along the way you will master our reusable methodology for working on the right AI, and delivering it without breaking the bank.
