AI Training — Philippines
Run by the people who use AI here every day — measured on adoption, not attendance.
LOKAL is an AI training provider in Manila delivering hands-on adoption programs for teams across the Philippines and APAC. We’ve trained 5,000+ professionals — including a 72% AI-adoption rollout across 4,000 staff at a Fortune 500 company.
The short answer
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 courses online across the Philippines and onsite in Metro Manila, from half-day workshops to multi-week programs, each ending with a certificate.
▶ Lakbay AI · our proprietary workshop
Lakbay AI is LOKAL’s own gamified, in-person workshop, built for people who haven’t really used AI. Teams group up and play through four rounds — and every round is a real AI task they do and walk out with. People arrive having never touched AI and leave using it on their own work — the on-ramp to using it daily.

Our methodology
Most AI training is a one-day event of slides and polite applause, with zero behaviour change six months later. We run it the opposite way — and we name every part, because the method is the product.
Our proprietary, gamified, in-person opener (~1 hour) — built for first-time AI users. Teams group up and do real AI tasks, fully customizable to any work you want them to learn.
The plain-English taxonomy for deciding what to hand an AI, so non-technical teams know where to start.
We train on your real tasks — your inbox, your reports, your campaigns — never generic toy examples.
Awareness → Familiarity → Proficiency → Mastery. We name where each person is and move them one rung.
Verify the math, the facts, and the tone — every time. AI drafts; your people stay accountable.
We measure sustained usage at 30, 60, and 90 days. If people aren’t using AI later, the training didn’t work.

LOKAL in action
Most training ends with theory. Ours starts with your team running real AI on real tasks — which is the only thing that turns into adoption.

In their words
“Artificial Intelligence, while widely utilized, reveals its true potential when leveraged with precision and purpose — and that’s exactly what the session gave us.”

Why now
Digital transformation here 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. 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.

FAQs
Lakbay (Filipino for “journey”) is our gamified, in-person workshop — about an hour — that opens our programs. It’s built for people who haven’t really used AI yet: teams group up and race through four hands-on rounds, each building something real, so first-timers see what AI can actually do, fast. The example run builds a travel campaign, but it’s fully customizable to whatever you want your team to learn — sales, reporting, content, ops. The surest way to turn AI-hesitant staff into confident users.
A typical half-day: Lakbay AI discovery and your first hands-on by the 15-minute mark; an hour on your real workflows; an hour building a reusable “Campaign Brain” or NotebookLM project; then turning the prompts that worked into Skills you keep. You leave with a certificate, a copy-paste prompt library, and a 30-day support window.
Every team, not just tech — Marketing, Sales, Finance, HR & Supply Chain, Customer Experience, and Engineering, each with a role-specific track. We’ve trained a single enterprise (Great Deals) across six departments in one rollout.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
