We Tested the Government's AI Skills Hub: Five Critical Flaws You Need to Know
The AI Skills Hub has significant design flaws, including a disconnect from workplace needs, vendor-specific training, lack of hands-on learning, and insufficient consideration of actual user experiences, which undermine its potential effectiveness.
The UK Government’s AI Skills Hub: A Critical Analysis
The AI Skills Hub is well-intentioned and useful as an entry point, but in its current form it is unlikely to deliver the sustained workplace adoption needed to upskill 10 million workers. The programme relies almost entirely on self-paced, vendor-led courses that pre-date the Hub, treats AI literacy as a technical skill rather than a human and organisational one, and is structurally aligned to a narrow, pre-existing sector programme rather than broad workforce transformation. Effective AI upskilling requires educators alongside technologists, leadership enablement and permission to apply AI at work, ongoing and context-specific training, and measurement of real adoption rather than participation. This article argues for expanding the Hub to include these missing elements, not abandoning it.

Government Standards Catch Up to What We've Been Teaching Since Autumn 2024: Why Techosaurus’ AI Bootcamp Was Ahead of the Curve
The Department for Education has published new safety standards for the use of generative AI in education, and they closely mirror the approach we have already been delivering through our Generative AI Skills Bootcamp since 2024. This piece explains how the DfE standards align with our methodology around ethical use, cognitive development, and human-centred learning, why staged AI capability building matters, and how face-to-face delivery supports healthier AI habits. It also reflects on two ongoing challenges: short-term funding models that limit sustainable provision, and the real cost of disengagement when publicly funded training is treated as disposable. The core message is simple: effective AI education is about judgement, critical thinking, and people, not shortcuts or box-ticking.
