Responsible AI & Data Apprenticeships for Schools
Boom Training × Maikai delivers structured AI and Data apprenticeships designed for schools that want to modernise without compromising safeguarding, GDPR, or public trust.
+150 mentors from top tech companies


Safe Adoption. Clear Governance. Fully Funded.
Innovation Without the Risk
AI is already being used across education.
Staff are drafting emails, analysing data, creating lesson materials, and streamlining reporting with AI tools. Adoption is happening organically, often without formal training or shared standards.
Without clear guidance, well-intentioned experimentation can lead to:
Poor data handling practices
Inconsistent standards across teams
Unclear boundaries around sensitive information
Compliance gaps
The Stakes Are Higher in Education
Schools operate within strict safeguarding and data protection frameworks. AI use in schools should reflect those responsibilities. Structured governance, clear policies, and properly trained staff ensure innovation strengthens your organisation rather than exposing it.
You are accountable for:
Student data
Safeguarding obligations
GDPR compliance
Reputational trust
How We Help Schools Adopt AI Safely
Our AI & Data apprenticeships are designed to build internal capability while reinforcing compliance and safeguarding standards.
Participants learn how to:
Identify what data can and cannot be shared with AI systems
Apply anonymisation and pseudonymisation techniques
Use dummy or synthetic datasets in practical projects
Verify AI outputs before acting on them
Recognise prompt injection and manipulation risks
Align AI use with GDPR and emerging AI regulation

Real Results from our Learners
“The content is clear, relevant, and links theory to real workplace scenarios. I’ve been able to apply what I’m learning straight away to work more efficiently, plan tasks better, and communicate more clearly with stakeholders.”
Mohammed Rahman
Senior Work Experience Coordinator
“I’ve built a stronger understanding of how AI fits into our processes. I've used what I've learned to speed up data tasks, improve reports, and spot opportunities where AI can save time for myself and other staff members.”
Chris
Exams and Data Officer
“I’ve learnt to use prompts in a more efficient and effective way. Recently, I used AI to identify gaps in our processes and produce clear meeting outcomes for the wider team. It was much faster than typing up notes and gave us a clear way forward.”
Louise Pardy
Finance Business Partner
“The tutor meetings and workshops provide a great opportunity to discuss the learning. I’ve already used the prompt engineering and productivity tips to run my own training sessions for my colleagues, helping them use AI more effectively in their own work.”
