Level 3 Award in Artificial Intelligence for Education
Empower your teaching. Future-proof your skills.
The UK’s first Ofqual-regulated qualification in AI for educators. Learn to harness AI in your classroom, detect misuse, and lead your school’s AI policy — in just 6-8 weeks online
Why This Course?
AI is changing education. Are you ready?
AI isn’t just for techies — it’s becoming essential in schools and colleges. But most educators are left to figure it out alone.
- 76% of UK teachers have received NO formal AI training
- 60% of teachers are already using AI for work — but only 9% feel confident teaching it
- Students are submitting AI-generated coursework, and most schools have no clear policy
- The DfE released guidance in June 2025 — but guidance isn’t training
“You’re expected to teach students how to use AI responsibly… but who’s teaching you?”

The Level 3 Award in Artificial Intelligence in Education is the UK’s first Ofqual-regulated qualification specifically designed for educators.
