AI Confidence: Free CPD for school and college staff

Created by BCS, in partnership with The Hg Foundation, Microsoft and Cognizant, this free CPD is designed specifically for staff in schools and colleges.

Each AI Confidence module focuses on a specific application of AI in education, tailored to different roles. For example, AI in the World of Work inspires Careers Leads and Advisers with fresh ideas to use with students, while Supporting Inclusion with AI shows how AI and assistive technology can help anticipate and remove barriers, making learning, communication and school life more accessible and inclusive, and AI for School Leaders explores how AI can support educational leadership through the responsible evaluation and implementation of AI tools, effective safeguards, and clear communication with staff, governors and families.
