Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Educator AI certification path.
Is this certification relevant for primary, secondary, and higher education?
Yes. The AI fundamentals and governance principles apply across all educational levels. The applied sections are framed broadly enough to be relevant from secondary school through university, and some sections specifically address higher education assessment contexts.
Does this cover how to write an AI policy for my school or institution?
AI Fundamentals covers the dimensions an effective institutional AI policy needs to address — academic integrity, appropriate use boundaries, data privacy, and critical AI literacy for students. The course provides the knowledge base to contribute meaningfully to policy development, rather than a ready-made template.
How does Prompt Engineering apply to teaching practice?
Prompt Engineering for Business teaches you to direct AI tools reliably — which translates directly to lesson planning, differentiation material generation, and the development of formative assessment questions. Educators who complete both courses consistently report a significant reduction in preparation time.
Does this certificate satisfy any teacher CPD requirements?
Deliberate Academy is not a registered CPD provider for teacher training bodies. The certificate provides a verifiable professional development credential. Check with your employer or regulatory body regarding their policy on external non-accredited learning for CPD purposes.
