You've Got The AI.
I'll Make It Actually Work.
I run a specialist AI training agency. It's all I do, and it shows. Practical, hands-on training that takes your people from 'I don't know where to start' to confident, productive AI users.
Mike Garde

Organisations I've Trained
Hi, I'm Mike!
I spent the first part of my career as a psychiatric nurse, working with people in crisis. Then I spent 35 years in technology, helping organisations adopt and use tools that were supposed to make their lives easier.
Those two worlds collide in everything I do now.
Most AI training treats adoption as a technology problem. It's not. It's a people problem. Your team isn't struggling with AI because the tools are complicated. They're struggling because nobody has shown them how it fits into their actual work, in a way that feels safe and makes sense.
That's what I do. Every session is designed by me, delivered by me, and tailored to your organisation. No subcontractors. No generic slides. No death by PowerPoint.
I follow what I call the HUMAN framework — a five-step approach that starts with understanding how your organisation actually works and ends with ongoing partnership as AI evolves. It's how I've trained over 3,000 professionals and why companies keep asking me back.
Specialist AI Training
Corporate AI Training That Actually Sticks
AI is only as valuable as your team's ability to use it. I deliver focused, practical training that takes your people from uncertain to confident, in hours, not months. No fluff. No jargon. Just immediate, measurable results.
Microsoft Copilot for Teams
Your team has the licence. Now make it earn its keep.
Most organisations are paying for Microsoft Copilot but barely scratching the surface. This hands-on training shows your people how to use it properly across Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and PowerPoint - so the investment actually pays off.
ChatGPT for Business
The AI tool everyone has access to. Almost nobody uses well.
Your people are already experimenting with ChatGPT. The question is whether they're using it safely, effectively, and in ways that actually move the business forward. This course makes sure they are.
AI Adoption Consultancy
A practical roadmap from where you are to where AI is actually saving time.
You know AI matters but you're not sure where to start, what to prioritise, or how to roll it out without creating chaos. I work with your leadership team to map a realistic adoption strategy that fits your organisation, your budget, and your people.
Leadership AI Briefings
Give your board the clarity to make confident AI decisions.
Your leadership team needs to understand what AI can and can't do before they can set direction for the rest of the business. This focused briefing cuts through the hype and gives directors and senior leaders a clear, honest picture of the opportunity, the risks, and the practical next steps.
Not Sure Where to Start?
That's exactly what the discovery call is for. Tell me what's going on in your organisation and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help, and what the best next step would be. No pitch. No pressure. Just a conversation.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee
The 9 or Better Promise
If, by the end of the training, you don't rate it at 9/10 or higher, I'll roll up my sleeves and personally deliver extra support, workshops, or resources, completely free, until you do hit a 9. Simple as that.
What My Clients Say
"I have never found a training course more useful or relevant"
I have never found a training course more useful or relevant to the current demands of our business or my role directly. The structure and pace of the course were excellent. I would highly recommend training with Mike to any company considering it. I give the training 10 out of 10 for content and relevance to businesses.

"We left genuinely amazed by what we'd seen and learned"
We attended this AI course as a group of complete beginners. What started as curiosity quickly turned into excitement; we left genuinely amazed by what we'd seen and learned. The trainer was absolutely fantastic, engaging and knowledgeable, and managed to make complex concepts feel simple and relatable. We're running it again internally soon for Directors, and I highly recommend it.

"Delivered an excellent course and I highly recommend"
Mike delivered an excellent course and I highly recommend his services. In a room containing a widely differing audience (skeptics to enthusiasts), he was able to pitch to every level of existing understanding and enthusiasm. Everyone left the training session with a much better appreciation of how AI could bring benefits to their individual roles and the wider business context. All delivered with a smile.
