Center for Practical AI
Certified Trainer Program

Become a Certified Applied AI Trainer.

Teach the curriculum you've already mastered. Certified trainers deliver the Applied AI Certification to working professionals and teams โ€” full toolkit behind them, a credential they keep for good. First step: earn the certification yourself.

Who It's For

Two ways to put it to work

Same credential. What changes is who you teach.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿซ

Independent Trainers & Professionals

Coaches, facilitators, and consultants who want to teach AI fluency under their own banner โ€” to their own clients, on their own terms.

๐Ÿข

Internal Organization Trainers

L&D leaders and in-house facilitators building AI proficiency across their organization, without bringing in outside trainers every time.

How It Works

From certified learner to certified trainer

Four steps. The first is the prerequisite โ€” everything else follows from it.

1

Be certified first

First

You hold the Applied AI Certification. Took the live cohort? You're ready. Haven't? Finish the self-paced version first.

2

Enroll in the program

Sign up directly. No application, no waitlist.

3

Train & practice

Work through the trainer curriculum โ€” facilitation craft, six-domain mastery, delivery standards โ€” with multiple teach-back rounds to practice and show you can run it.

4

Get certified & listed

Join the trainer network and pick up the full toolkit. Certified is certified โ€” no renewals, no continuing requirements, ever.

Why Us

Critical thinking, wrapped into the certification.

Most AI training hands you this quarter's tools and a list of prompts. They'll be obsolete by next quarter. We teach the layer underneath that doesn't expire: how to think with AI while your own judgment stays in charge.

That judgment isn't vague. We've mapped it to six concrete domains of AI proficiency โ€” the structure every certification cohort is built around.

LiteracyKnow & understand

InteractionEvaluationOrchestration

Feel the gap these domains close.

Four short interactives โ€” free, no sign-up. Each one puts you in the exact moment a missing domain trips people up. Try one and you'll understand what the certification is really teaching.

That's what your teams leave with โ€” not a tool tutorial that expires, but judgment that holds as the tools keep changing.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do I have to be certified before I become a trainer?+
Yes. You hold the Applied AI Certification first โ€” it's the proficiency the trainer credential is built on. If you've completed the live cohort, you're ready to enroll. If not, finish the self-paced version first, then join the Certified Trainer Program.
Who is this for?+
Two kinds of people: independent trainers, coaches, and consultants who deliver to their own clients, and internal trainers building AI proficiency inside their own organization. No technical background beyond the certification itself.
Can I charge my own clients to deliver it?+
Licensing options are available for trainers and organizations delivering commercially or at scale. Reach out and we'll walk you through the options that fit how you plan to deliver.
Are there renewals or ongoing requirements?+
None. This is a one-time certification. No renewals, no annual fees, and nothing to maintain to stay in the network.
How do I enroll?+
Open enrollment is coming. For now, register your interest below and we'll bring you in as soon as it opens โ€” once you hold the Applied AI Certification.
