About Taught by Humans

Our vision is to empower everyone with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive in the future of work.

We're on a mission to deliver flexible, engaging learning experiences in essential skills, starting with AI and data. Our approach makes these tools practical and accessible, helping both individuals and businesses use them effectively in their day-to-day work.

We stand against the scaremongering around AI replacing jobs. Instead, we show people how to use AI as a powerful tool that complements their existing strengths, allowing teams to focus on what matters most.

Learning platform, showing dots connected as learnt

Helping you get from where you are, to where you want to be, in a way that works for you.

Why We Matter

10%

Only 10% of workplace training is completed

12%

Only 12% of workplace training is relevant to the job

50%

Up to 50% of learning budgets are wasted

Traditional workplace training fails because it's not relevant, engaging, or completed. We change that by making learning personal, practical, and integrated into real work.

Our Values

Always Learning

We embrace continuous improvement, staying current with AI and data developments while learning from our community.

Confidence Not Complexity

We make AI and data tools approachable by focusing on practical skills that build confidence, not overwhelming technical depth.

Real Uses for Real Humans

Everything we teach has immediate practical application in real workplace scenarios, not theoretical concepts.
