Michelle Lyden, Head of Core Services - Young Enterprise Scotland

"Having recently completed the AI for Finance: The Essentials course that provided an excellent and solid introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) for finance professionals.  The course was meticulously designed to offer practical tools that can be embedded or researched further within your own organisation.
 
My key takeaway from this course was the newfound curiosity to delve deeper into AI for finance and an eagerness to test and implement some of the AI tools and the AL roadmap.  The course has truly sparked a desire to explore more and leverage AI to enhance financial processes which will free up time for more analysis and ultimately lead to better decision-making.
 
I highly recommend this course to anyone in the finance sector looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of AI and its practical application."

Nairn Black, Finance Director, NWH Group

 

"I have been on a few courses where AI was covered and this is the most comprehensive I have seen. It builds from the bottom in a logical way and covers, what I believe to be, all the main areas of opportunity and risk.

I thought giving examples of websites and major players in the various area was useful. The roadmap towards the end of the course was also a good takeaway."

Heather Bowman, Financial Controller, Simple Online Healthcare

"I found the course very informative and engaging. The information provided was not only helpful but also immediately applicable, giving me a much clearer understanding of AI essentials in finance. It has increased my confidence in using AI concepts in a real-world financial context."

Marc Vosilius, Corporate Strategy Director - Aiir Environmental 

 

"As someone who likes to think they've already started their AI journey, I found the course hugely informative and it made me realise I have barely scratched the surface. The elements on safeguards and ethics I found particularly useful, as it has prompted me to think more before jumping in with any new AI tools that become available. 
 
As a grounding in the use of AI within the finance world, I think the course delivers well on that and I look forward to making the most of the community going forward too."

Ian Clark, Finance Director, David Hardie Engineering 

 

"This was an excellent course that gave me a better general understanding of AI and how it relates to accounting and finance. There was a good balance of video and written content, along with examples of how to apply in practice, and sufficient reference material to follow up areas of interest or for clarification.

It gave me plenty of food for thought as to where we can potentially use AI to enhance our business, and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore AI in finance.”

Adam George, Head of Financial Planning & Analysis, Apex Hotels

“I wanted to develop my knowledge and application of AI to help me in my job and the wider finance team. 

Gerlyn's masterclass gave an excellent grounding in building my awareness about different LLMs,

 using enterprise versions to input confidential data securely, how to prompt more effectively and ideas for potential use cases for using AI in Finance.

 I would strongly recommend this course to others as a great way to start your AI learning journey."
