For this certification, you don’t need technical or programming expertise. It equips you with the skills you need to control, supervise, and sustain AI systems responsibly.

This certification is designed to help you:

Grasp key AI concepts, terminology, and system behaviour relevant to functional management — without needing technical or programming expertise.
Identify where AI changes responsibilities, workflows, decision-making, and system behaviour within functional management.
