  • “AI is a Partner, Not a Replacement” Marianne Mills On AI, Psychology, Accessibility & Engagement Part 2
    Oct 13 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Marianne Mills, founder of 2M Training, to explore how psychology, accessibility and meaningful engagement can transform the way we teach and learn. With over 16 years of experience as an educator and trainer, Marianne shares her journey from working in the care sector to founding her own training company. She talks about the importance of creating safe learning spaces, building trust with learners, and designing sessions that go beyond simply delivering information. Marianne explains how her background in psychology shapes her approach to training, why engagement matters more than ticking boxes, and how adapting to the needs of different learners can make training far more effective. She also discusses the growing role of AI in education and why it should be seen as a partner in course creation rather than just another tool. Used well, AI can help trainers structure ideas, improve accessibility and save time, but it must be applied thoughtfully to ensure quality and accuracy. From classrooms to construction sites and even the fire service, Marianne shares practical insights on making learning accessible and relevant for everyone. Whether you’re a training provider, educator or business leader, this conversation is packed with real-world examples and thoughtful advice on how to make professional development truly impactful. 🔔 Subscribe to stay updated with future episodes on professional development, accreditation and the evolving world of CPD. 👉 Learn more about CPD accreditation: https://thecpd.group Collect your CPD credits for this episode by going to https://thecpd.group/podcast and entering the code 800147.
