Our Story
Chrysolite Academy was founded as part of the Chrysolite AI family — alongside Chrysolite AI ERP and Chrysolite Consult — to address a clear gap in the global training market.
Most AI and data training is either too expensive (legacy providers charging a premium per day), too shallow (corporate “AI awareness” workshops), or too generic (pre-recorded video courses with no real interaction).
We built Chrysolite Academy to offer something different: live, expert-led training in AI, Data Science, Data Analysis and Visualisation — at honest prices, from people who actually work in these fields, delivered online to professionals worldwide.
Part of the Chrysolite AI Family
Chrysolite Academy is the training arm of Chrysolite AI — a technology group building intelligent software for businesses worldwide. Our sister products include Chrysolite AI ERP (an AI-powered business management platform) and Chrysolite Consult (business intelligence consultancy). As part of the same group, Academy students and clients benefit from real-world product experience that goes far beyond what any standalone training provider can offer.
What We Believe
Practitioners, Not Presenters
Every instructor has worked in the field. They bring real problems, real code, and real experience to every session.
Live, Not Recorded
We believe live training produces better outcomes. Questions answered in the moment, cohorts that learn together, instructors who adapt on the fly.
Honest Pricing
Quality training should not cost a fortune. We price 10–40% below major global competitors without cutting quality.
Globally Accessible
Live online delivery means anyone, anywhere can attend. Courses run across time zones and are open to professionals worldwide.
