AIR Academy ยท The training arm of AIR APAC

Learn the judgment. Keep the desk.

The training arm of AIR APAC teaches the people who decide to work with AI and stay accountable for the result. The courses are short, they are built on real tasks from your own desk, and they are kept apart from measurement.

The method

How every course is built

The same four commitments in every programme, whatever its length.

Watch

About six minutes each

One idea per video, in plain language, from someone who does the work. No tool tour, no vendor demonstration, no stock footage of smiling people.

Practise

Homework on your own work

Every week carries one task on your own city or your own organisation. No sample data, and no case study from another industry.

Meet

A clinic for every cohort

Sixty minutes a week with the instructor, optional, on one fixed weekday. Bring what you drafted and fix it live.

Keep

An artefact returned with comments

You finish with one page you use on Monday, read by a person and returned with written comments inside a week.

The catalogue

Six programmes, and what each one is for

Each entry states its format, who it is for, its price or that it is free, what the participant receives, and its status today. Where a status says a build or a date is outstanding, it is outstanding.

Cohort, sponsored

AI Fluency for Destination Organisations

Six weeks for a destination organisation and its partners, with a weekly live call, four assessed assignments and a StepSim capstone. This is not the AI Ready Leader: that is a separate executive cohort of eight to twelve organisations, described under the flagship cohort on the programmes page, and no part of it leads into this.

Format

Cohort, six weeks, ten modules, one live call a week

For

Destination organisations and their partners

Price

USD 12,000 per sponsored cohort of up to 25

Receive

A Record of Completion, on an assessed capstone

Status

The design exists. The build starts after the Level 1 founding cohort runs

Assessed work

Four assignments, marked, plus a StepSim capstone

See the Level 2 page

Assessment, separate from every course

AIRS-J/1 participant certification

A separate assessment on StepSim, operated by Exeter Labs and decided by AIR APAC under Section 12 of the Standard. It sits outside the training arm. No course awards it, and no purchase changes the outcome.

Format

An assessment sitting on StepSim, booked separately

For

Anyone. Level 2 completers are the usual route

Price

Founding sittings are free. The list fee is set by AIR APAC before the first paid sitting

Receive

A certifying result with its band, confidence and track, valid two years, listed in the public register

Status

Open, through the Standard

Validity

Two years. Reassessment is a full sitting

Read the route

Partner programme, built by Exeter Labs

StepSim facilitator programme

Six to eight weeks online for trainer partners, with one live session a week, practice on synthetic groups, and a capstone session with a real group. Completion certifies the trainer, and the licence to run StepSim sessions comes with it.

Format

Online, six to eight weeks, one live session a week

For

Trainer partners and consultants who will run StepSim sessions

Price

Not published. The fee is proposed and not yet ruled on

Receive

Exeter Labs issues the certification and the licence

Status

The outline exists. No cohort has run yet

Sessions

Run inside the facilitator's own programmes, in their own name

See the facilitator programme

Half day, one day and two day programmes for organisations are described on the programme formats page.

Why here

And not a vendor course or a video channel

Taught by the author

The person who wrote the Standard teaches the course

Not a facilitator reading slides. The instructor runs every clinic in the Level 1 founding cohort. From the second cohort, and in the other programmes, a facilitator trained on this material takes the clinics.

Built on your work

Every homework is a real task from your own desk

No sample data. No case study from another industry. The artefact you finish with is one you use on Monday.

Kept apart from measurement

Nothing you do in a course scores you or your organisation

Training content never enters a certifying item bank. Certification is a separate assessment on a separate instrument, and no purchase changes its outcome.
