BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) has officially launched its AI Skills For Military Partners programme, an innovative course designed to help military partners build practical digital skills, expand career opportunities, and strengthen employability in a fast-changing, tech-driven world.
The programme, delivered through BFBS Academy, blends self-paced online learning with monthly live evening webinars and four one-off in-person workshops to be held in Cyprus, Catterick, Blandford, and Edinburgh. Fully funded by a £66,884 grant from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, the programme is tailored specifically for the needs of the armed forces community.
Jackie Collins, Head of Social Media at BFBS (Academy & Creative) and lead on the course, said:
“Launching this programme at the start of the year is the perfect way to help military partners set themselves up for success in 2026. With practical AI skills, participants can confidently explore new opportunities, grow their careers, or enhance their businesses, turning the promise of new year in real action and results.”
Throughout the programme, BFBS Academy will support participants with tailored guidance, practical applications, and one-to-one coaching to ensure the training is meaningful, accessible, and immediately applicable.
The course will enable participants to:
- Build foundational AI skills relevant for real-world applications
