LOKAL delivers practical, hands-on AI training in the Philippines for businesses and their teams. Every session is built around your real workflows — so your people leave able to use Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot on Monday morning, not just pass a quiz. We run live AI training courses online across the Philippines and onsite in Metro Manila, from half-day workshops to multi-week upskilling programs, each ending with a certificate of completion.

AI TRAINING METHODOLOGY
We measure what
actuallysticks.
We run AI training the opposite way from the usual one-day event of slides and polite applause. You're doing real AI on your own tasks within the first 15 minutes — not watching someone else demo — and you leave with prompts and workflows you can reuse on Monday.
Then we build the parts that stick. Because roughly 70% of AI's value is people and process, not the tool (BCG's 10-20-70 rule), we train workflow-first and track adoption at 30, 60, and 90 days. A recent enterprise program reached 72% weekly AI use across 4,000 staff.
Most training ends with theory and slides. Our sessions start with doing. Participants work through real scenarios, practice with actual tools, and solve problems they'll face tomorrow. Knowledge doesn't just stick—it becomes second nature, scaling across your entire organization.
See the Difference
Real professionals.Real transformations.
Our trainees aren't just learning AI—they're using it to land promotions, launch businesses, and transform their careers. Watch their stories, see their results, and discover what's possible when you master the tools reshaping modern work.
"Artificial Intelligence, while widely utilized, reveals its true potential when leveraged with precision and purpose. This session shed light on more nuanced and strategic applications that elevate both efficiency and impact."

Why now
AI training in the Philippines is the fastest growth lever you have.
Digital transformation across the Philippines has moved faster than the skills to support it. Teams have ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini — but most use them like a search box, capturing a fraction of the value. That gap is a skills gap, and it closes through structured, hands-on practice, not another tutorial.
It’s also where the research points: BCG’s 10-20-70 rule finds ~70% of AI value comes from people and process, not the technology. So we train workflow-first and measure adoption. See why we chose Claude over ChatGPT for our agency, or how we apply it in our own marketing.
Join a public LOKAL workshop before you book a team program.
Our current public session is Claude AI for Marketing — four hands-on hours on agents, MCP, and Skills, run with Acceler8 in Makati. A low-commitment way to feel the format first.
How much does AI training cost in the Philippines?
Public-cohort seats start from ₱2,000 per person (e.g. our Claude AI for Marketing workshop); private in-house programs are quoted by team size, format, and scope. Compared with self-paced courses (₱0–5,000) and live instructor-led programs (₱30,000+), LOKAL sits in the live, hands-on, business-outcome tier. Tell us your team and we’ll size a quote.
Do you offer AI training online or onsite?
Both. We run live online training anywhere in the Philippines, and onsite/in-house across Metro Manila and major hubs. Private cohorts for a single company are our most popular corporate format, and we deliver in English or Taglish.
Is there a certificate of completion?
Yes — every participant receives a LOKAL certificate of completion, along with the slide deck, a copy-paste prompt library, and 30-day post-training support.
Which AI tools do you teach — ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini?
All of them, and we’re tool-agnostic. ChatGPT and Custom GPTs (OpenAI), Claude and custom Claude Skills (Anthropic), Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot, and Google Gemini + NotebookLM — plus Perplexity and Midjourney where they fit. We match the toolset to what your business already runs. As a member of the Claude Partner Network and the OpenAI Champions Network, we teach from daily practice.
Who is the training for — do we need a technical background?
No coding required. Most participants are non-technical — operators, marketers, HR, sales, and executives. Programs run from all-staff foundations to leadership briefings and role-specific tracks (marketing, sales, ops). You’re running live AI exercises within the first 15 minutes.
How is this different from a university AI course or a free online course?
Universities teach AI as a subject and free courses teach concepts. We change how your team works day-to-day — every session is built around your real workflows and measured on adoption, not attendance. Research (BCG’s 10-20-70 rule) shows ~70% of AI value comes from people and process, not the technology, so our training is workflow-first and outcome-tracked.
How long does AI training take?
From half-day workshops to multi-week champion programs. Most teams start with a one-day hands-on session, then add a role-specific track or an adoption program if they want the behaviour change to stick.
Can you train our whole company or run a private cohort?
Yes — private in-house programs are our most popular format for teams of 10+, and our enterprise adoption program has rolled AI out across 4,000 employees at a single organisation. Corporate invoicing and group rates are available.
Do you train teams on Microsoft Copilot?
Yes. We run Microsoft 365 Copilot training for teams standardised on Microsoft — Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams — plus the prompt patterns that work app-by-app, data-boundary/governance basics, and GitHub Copilot for engineering teams.
How do you measure whether the training actually worked?
We track daily AI usage and sustained engagement at 30/60/90 days, plus specific workflow improvements. 46% of trainees were still using AI daily six months post-training, and a recent enterprise program hit 72% adoption across 4,000 staff. If people aren’t using AI later, the training didn’t work.
How is this different from watching YouTube tutorials?
YouTube gives you isolated tips. We build structured programs around your team's actual workflows, with hands-on exercises using your real documents and tasks. And we measure adoption 30, 60, and 90 days later — not just satisfaction on day one.
What's included in the 30-day post-training support?
A private community group (Viber or Facebook), one live Q&A session at the 2-week mark, and email support for tool-specific questions. We don't hand you a certificate and disappear.
Do you offer AI SEO training specifically?
Yes. For marketing teams and agencies, we run focused AI SEO training covering ChatGPT for content, Claude for analysis, and the prompt engineering techniques our own team uses daily. This can be standalone or part of a broader program.
Can you train our team on Claude and Anthropic tools?
Yes. Our team uses Claude daily for SEO, content, and code. We offer Claude-specific modules covering Claude for business writing, Claude for data analysis, and building custom Claude Skills for your workflows.
How do you measure if the training actually worked?
We track daily AI usage rates, sustained engagement over 30/60/90 days, and specific workflow improvements. A 72% adoption rate doesn't come from good slides — it comes from measurement and accountability built into the program.
