How do you scale AI training across a large organisation?
Train the trainers. Vishal and the Quantana team train a group of leaders and internal AI champions, one per team or function. They complete the hands-on programme themselves, take a trainer track with a ready-to-use kit, co-deliver a first session with us, and then train their own teams. We check in and refresh the kit as the tools change. We quote a fixed fee per cohort, never per user.

Outside trainers do not scale to a whole workforce.
A large organisation cannot book an outside session for every team, and it should not want to. The people who make AI stick are the ones already sitting with the team: the analyst everyone asks about spreadsheets, the HR lead who knows every form. Give them the skills and the kit, and AI training spreads the way good habits do.
Who should be an AI champion?
Selected leaders and AI champions from each function. We suggest one champion per team or function: someone people already ask for help, who knows the local workflows.
Champions are not the IT team by default. The best ones are curious, patient and trusted by their colleagues.
How does the AI train the trainer programme work?
- 1
Champions do the programme themselves
They go through the hands-on programme first, the in-person half day and a cohort, and complete every task. Nobody teaches what they have not done.
- 2
The trainer track
How to run a session. A ready-to-use training kit: session plans, exercises built on your company’s own examples, homework and a use-case library. How to coach colleagues, and how to answer the common questions about data safety and usage limits.
- 3
Co-deliver, then run it alone
Champions co-deliver a first internal session with Quantana in the room. After that, they run sessions on their own.
- 4
Check-ins and a living kit
We check in, review adoption with you and refresh the kit as the tools change. Claude, Copilot and NotebookLM change fast, so the kit cannot be a one-off.
Champions receive the certificate of completion from Quantana, with the trainer track noted on it. It is not an accreditation from Anthropic, Google, Microsoft or any education body.
Q Labs
Champions use Q Labs to refresh their kit: recordings to rewatch before a session, and guides on what changed in the tools.
Q Labs is our portal for Quantana training participants only. It holds past session recordings, the tools we actually use, and guides on the latest AI techniques. It is also where your certificate of completion lives.
Why does train the trainer scale?
- 01
Hundreds of people, not hundreds of sessions
Training reaches hundreds of people without hundreds of external sessions.
- 02
Knowledge stays in the company
When a champion moves on, the kit and the habit stay behind.
- 03
Champions know the local workflows
A finance champion teaches month-end with the real month-end files, not a generic example.
- 04
The rules are taught the same way everywhere
Governance and usage limits come from one kit, so every team hears the same rules on data and tools.
The rules matter as much as the skills. Champions teach from one kit that includes your AI policy. If you do not have one yet, start from our AI policy template.
Does training people to train others work?
It does when the first training is hands-on. After one of Vishal’s masterclasses for IIM Bangalore alumni, one alumnus went on to train 170 district coordinators for a public health programme.
Scale is the point. Our AI literacy programme at RP Sanjiv Goenka Group reached 400+ employees. For large organisations, champions are how you go further without booking an outside trainer for every team.
Which tools does it cover?
The tools your company has approved. The method is the same for Claude training, Microsoft Copilot training and NotebookLM. Champions usually start after their leaders have done the CxO Bootcamp.
Vishal Kumar, our Founder and CEO and a Claude expert, leads the programme. He has trained more than 10,000 professionals in AI, design thinking and storytelling over his career. Read his bio.
How is it priced?
A fixed fee per cohort, never per user. The quote depends on the number of champions, the tools and how much of the kit we build on your own examples. For what the licences themselves cost, see our enterprise AI pricing guide.

What is an AI train the trainer programme?

Who should be an AI champion?
One person per team or function, chosen by the leaders: someone colleagues already ask for help, who knows the local workflows and is willing to run sessions. Seniority matters less than curiosity and patience.
What is in the training kit?
Session plans, exercises built on your company’s own examples, homework and a use-case library, plus guidance on coaching colleagues and on the common questions about data safety and usage limits. We refresh it as Claude, Copilot and NotebookLM change.
