The AI Essentials for Training Managers Certificate program equips training managers with the knowledge to integrate AI into corporate training programs. It offers a roadmap with steps, best practices, and considerations to streamline instructional design, optimize reporting, and maximize learning outcomes. By completing this course, you will embrace innovation, revolutionize training, and drive results, ensuring you stay ahead in today’s rapidly evolving landscape.

Founded in Training Industry’s Training Manager Competency Model™, this certificate is completed over three four-and-a-half-hour sessions in a virtual instructor-led (VILT) classroom setting. Throughout that time, you’ll work with peers to apply AI in various activities and discuss how what you’ve learned can be applied in your own training processes.

Who should complete this program? The AI Essentials for Training Managers Certificate is ideal for training managers and aspiring training managers who are ready to leverage generative AI to streamline training development, optimize learning management system (LMS) reporting, enhance learner engagement and maximize learning outcomes. This program is designed for training managers at various levels of experience and offers a foundation in AI concepts with plenty of hands-on activities, allowing you to practice as you learn.
Does this course cover training my company’s workforce in the use of AI? This course focuses on applying AI to corporate training processes and L&D workflows, rather than developing an organization-wide AI adoption or workforce training strategy. You will explore possibilities for training your learners in the use of AI.

If you’re looking to prepare your workforce for AI adoption, we recommend exploring the AI Adoption and Workforce Readiness Certificate.

What AI tools will I be using? This course is tool-agnostic, with hands-on activities using commonly available generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Microsoft Copilot. You can use any organization-approved, general-purpose AI tool you can access during class. Access to a second AI tool is encouraged for selected comparisons but is not required.
Will this program prepare me as an instructional designer? This certificate imparts the competencies and knowledge needed to manage the application of AI tools to the development of corporate training. While instructional design processes are covered, this course is not intended for individuals who aspire to work in instructional design. Instead, it will cover the how to query generative AI platforms in your development processes offering the guidance that the leader of a training team would need to know in order to ensure those processes are optimized for the most effective outcomes.
Are there any prerequisites for completing this certificate? There are no prerequisites to register, making this certificate ideal for anyone seeking to better understand how to integrate AI tools for L&D for optimized training programs.  

However, because this is an interactive, AI-based course, confirm that you can access an organization-approved, general-purpose AI tool on the device and browser you’ll use in class. A free account is sufficient; no activities require paid or advanced features. Access to a second approved AI tool is strongly encouraged for selected comparisons but is not required. A second monitor may also make participation easier.

What does the program cost? The program is $1,695.00 USD, which covers all course materials and the cost of enrollment. Prices are listed in USD, but the course can be purchased in any currency. Please note, an additional transaction currency fee may apply depending on your payment method. If you’d like to see the price in your local currency, please visit our store.
What will I receive when I complete this program? Before the program, you will receive access to all digital materials, including your prework assignment as well as the student workbook that you will use during the course. Upon course completion, you will also be awarded a certificate of achievement and a digital badge to designate your expertise in AI essentials for L&D with your network on social media.
Does this program count toward recertification? Yes. When you complete this program, you’ll earn credit hours (CEUs) toward leading HR and training certifications. Learn how Training Industry Certificates can help you earn recertification credits for leading human resources (HR) and training certifications.
I have a conflict that will prevent me from attending the full session. Is that OK? Because the program is interactive and includes numerous group activities, we do not recommend missing any part of the live session. If you have an unavoidable conflict, please inform your instructor beforehand and/or contact us at courses@trainingindustry.com to reschedule your session.
I have more questions. Who can I talk to? Training Industry’s professional development consultants are available to discuss this program and other development opportunities. Contact us or schedule a call here.
