AI Consulting
People who can already use AI tools well and want to sell that ability as a business rather than a job
AI Consulting is an online course on selling and delivering AI advisory work: choosing a niche, running an opportunity audit, scoping engagements, and writing proposals that get signed. It includes four real-world capstones and a certificate on completion.
Everything required to start an AI consultancy: the technical floor you must genuinely have, how to choose a niche, what to charge, how to register and contract properly, how to find the first client, and how to deliver work that gets bought twice. You finish with a named and branded business, a priced offer, a live pipeline, and one real audit delivered to a real organisation.
2 hours reading + 19 hours of projects
What you'll be able to do
- Describe precisely what an AI consultant sells, and price it without guessing
- Choose a niche narrow enough that the buyer recognises themselves in one sentence
- Run an AI opportunity audit on a real business and produce a report it would pay for
- Set up the business properly: entity, contract, invoicing, insurance and records
- Launch a named, branded consultancy with a live one-page site
- Build a pipeline from a standing start, and hold a discovery call that ends in a proposal
- Deliver an engagement without scope creep, and prove its value in numbers a client accepts
