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

Designed for Schools

We offer private cohorts to ensure:

Consistent standards

All staff operate under a clearly defined acceptable use framework aligned to safeguarding and GDPR.

Applied learning in safe environments

Apprentices work on real school-relevant challenges using sandboxed or simulated data, never live sensitive information.

Governance built in

As staff earn their qualification, your organisation strengthens its internal AI policies and guardrails.

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
