AI courses for managers should teach judgement rather than code: enough to see where AI fits, what it risks and what to ask of your teams.
If you only do one, take the BCS Essentials Certificate in Artificial Intelligence (£160): a 30-minute exam from BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, on AI terms, benefits, project risks and AI at work, with no entry requirements. For a free start, Google's Gen AI Agents: Transform Your Organization shows how organisations use AI agents.
