Suits complete beginners in the Aberdeen area who prefer learning in a classroom with a tutor. What stands out is the low fee of £82 for five weeks and hands-on use of ChatGPT and Teachable Machine. The main caveat is that weekly hours and class times are not shown on the page, and there is no stated certificate.
