Case Study
Training that works across borders and time zones
4
regions in one live session: the UK, Europe, South Africa and the USA
For Segen, I ran a live session for 13 managers from its Supply Chain, Product Management and Technical teams, spread across the UK, Europe, South Africa and the USA. Getting everyone into one practical session meant planning around very different working days.
For the International Association of Language Centres, I ran a 6-week programme for teams of 2 to 5 people from member schools. Attendance was 100% across all 6 sessions and the schools built a website chatbot, a marketing plan and a new approach to lesson planning.
The free introduction to that programme drew 54 sign-ups from more than 35 schools. You can read more in my case studies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions South African business owners ask
Can you run AI training for a South African team from Europe?
Yes, I’m very experienced working across multiple time zones. South Africa shares my time zone for half the year and is 1 hour behind me for the rest, so a 9:00 start in Johannesburg is 9:00 or 10:00 for me. My AI Workshop for Segen brought together managers in the UK, Europe, South Africa and the USA. All the training is live over video and we’ll agree session times on the free call. Whether your team is in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town or Durban, sessions are arranged around your working day.
How much does AI training cost in US dollars?
Prices on this page are in US dollars (USD). Workshops start from $800 for a half day and $1,300 for a full day, the 6-week AI Training Programme starts from $4,000 for groups of up to 15 and the AI Opportunity Audit starts from $1,300.
I’m happy to invoice in US dollars. The final price depends on team size, scope and the preparation involved.
Is the training in English?
Yes. The training is delivered in English, the main language of business in South Africa. If some of your team would find examples in another language helpful, let me know on the free call and we’ll talk about the best way to handle it.
Can we put customer information into AI tools under POPIA?
Only with care. POPIA applies when you use personal information in AI tools, just as it does anywhere else. The everyday rule I teach is simple: keep names, contact details and anything that identifies a person out of AI tools unless your business has agreed a plan and settings that allow it. I’m not a lawyer, so check the detail with your adviser.
Our team already uses AI. Do we still need training?
Usually, yes. Most people teach themselves the basics and then plateau. Training fills the gaps, gets everyone working the same way and turns individual tricks into shared workflows. There’s more in my answer to what is the difference between a skilled and a confident AI user?
Which AI tool should our team learn?
Usually the one you already pay for. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot all have business plans and I teach the skills in whichever one your team uses, as good habits carry across all of them. If you haven’t chosen yet, we can talk it through on the free call.
Why it works
Your team is probably using AI already. Is everyone using it the same way?
In a lot of small businesses, AI use has grown without a plan. Someone in sales uses ChatGPT for follow-up emails, someone in operations has found Claude and someone else is pasting customer details into a free tool nobody has checked. Everyone is trying to help but nobody knows whether the output is right or what’s safe to share.
Training gives everyone the same skills and the same rules. For South African businesses, that includes sensible rules on personal information under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), which the Information Regulator oversees. I’m not a lawyer, so this is everyday good practice, not legal advice.
I already train managers in South Africa. My session for Segen, one of the world’s biggest solar distribution groups, included managers based there alongside colleagues in the UK, Europe and the USA.
I work with teams across South Africa, from Johannesburg and Pretoria to Cape Town and Durban. Working hours are easy. I’m based in Varna, Bulgaria. South Africa shares my time zone for half the year and is 1 hour behind me for the rest, so a 9:00 start in Johannesburg is 9:00 or 10:00 for me. Every session is built around your own work, so people leave with workflows they’ll use the next day.
