AI Fluency for Educators is a free course from Anthropic Academy, online. It ends with a free certificate. Anthropic Academy doesn't say how long it takes.
We rate it intermediate level; the provider doesn't say.
Suited to teachers, instructional designers and education leaders who want to apply the 4D AI Fluency framework to teaching and school or college strategy. A free certificate follows the final assessment. You need to know the framework first, so take AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations before starting; it is better treated as intermediate than as an entry point. The duration isn't stated. For a tool-based option, try ChatGPT Foundations for Teachers from OpenAI Academy.
