Course overview
Managers now make everyday decisions about AI: which tasks it should help with, what good use looks like, and how to keep quality high. This course gives you a practical framework for those decisions. It is about leading AI adoption, not general people management, and sits alongside our management skills courses rather than repeating them.
First you use AI on your own management work: preparing for one-to-ones, drafting plans and updates, summarising feedback and analysing team data. Then you look at your team's workflows, pick the tasks where AI adds the most value, and design how the work should run with AI and a human check in the right places.
The afternoon covers leading the change: setting clear expectations and guardrails, measuring benefits, supporting people who are cautious, and building skills across the team. You leave with an AI adoption plan for your own team.

I had a good experience with this Microsoft Excel training course! Mark the trainer was exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and engaging, taking the time to explain complex functions and formulas in a way that was easy to understand. The pace of the class was well-managed, and there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions without feeling rushed. I left the session feeling much more confident, efficient, and equipped with time-saving shortcuts. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their spreadsheet skills!
good value for money, I understood notions that were very not clear to me. Thanks to Mark.
Very good communication and an excellent tutor.
Very happy with Mark's training ethos and training he provided.
Excellent course and really well presented. Starting from basic knowledge the course guided you through step by step and was well paced for all.
Really enjoyed the course. Tutor was knowledgeable, friendly and gave real-world, practical advice to get the most out of the training.
The trainer really tailored the course to our needs, encouraged us to ask questions, and was knowledgeable and really helpful.
The trainer was very patient and did not mind having to explain things a few times to make sure we were all on the same page, was very helpful for someone like myself who sometimes misses details on the first go around
Excellent trainer, the format of the training was fantastic and I got a lot from the course.
This was, by far, one of the best training courses I have had the pleasure of attending. The trainer was extremely knowledgeable and delivered a great course!
This was the first time I have joined an excel course and I found it very informative and very helpful.
I liked how the trainer tailored the training around what our needs and roles are.
A great pace for somebody just starting and never an issue with questions, and always had a good way of answering.
From knowing nothing to what I know now and in less than a day I would highly recommend as it was extremely useful, and has made my understanding of MP a 100x better. Thank you the trainer for the great lesson!
Excellent course, definitely the best 'power' course I have attended. The trainer was enthusiastic about the material and kept it relevant to our needs
The trainer was really knowledgeable and extremely helpful in helping us to build our own reports.
It was very productive as a working session. I learnt a lot.
His careful delivery of the course really made the difference not only in its usefulness but in how well we, as learners, will retain and apply this new information.
