For: HR leaders, hiring managers and talent teams.
One day, and a certification edition.
In person, led by a facilitator, with decision practice on StepSim, the AIR APAC simulator.
Record of Completion for everyone. An optional, separate assessment can lead to an AIR APAC credential.
Status: designed, not yet delivered. Available to commission for your group. Case files and materials are completed for the first group that confirms.
AI now screens, ranks and summarises people. Decisions about people carry legal, fairness and trust risk, and a recommendation cannot carry that risk for the manager.
One day.
Each facilitated edition opens with a StepSim Practice mission played the participant’s usual way and closes with an unseen one of the same kind. The programme formats page describes the half day, the one day, the two days and the certification edition.
One day, and a certification edition.
Fictional candidate and staff files only.
Test, Engage and Perform.
The half day ends with a written session report. The one day ends with a transfer file that goes back to the desk. The two days end with a transfer workshop, a report for the sponsor, and a manager review within ten working days.
For a first delivery, the lead facilitator is Indhran Seghar, director of AIR APAC Pte. Ltd. and the author of AIRS-J/1, the standard this programme is built on. Later deliveries may be led by a training provider's facilitator, named in the proposal.
AIR APAC certifies facilitators under section 20.6 of AIRS-J/1. No facilitator holds that certification yet, because the first facilitator cohort has not run. If your organisation needs a trainer accredited under a national training framework, say so in your request; we will tell you plainly whether it can be met.
| What | What it is | In this programme |
|---|---|---|
| Record of Completion | A record, issued by AIR APAC, of what the person attended and practised. It carries no score or level. | Included for everyone who completes. |
| AIRS-J/1 certification, Professional track | AIR APAC’s own credential for judgment in AI-enabled work, under a published standard. Verified free by code on a public register, valid for two years. No regulator, university or professional body recognises it, and no certifying sitting has run yet. | Optional. The certification edition adds a separate half-day assessment sitting within 30 days of the programme. Attending the programme does not count toward the result. |
| A qualification from an outside professional body | A qualification, or continuing professional development hours, from a professional body in your field. | Not offered. It would need an arrangement with that body, which does not exist today. |
StepSim is a decision simulator, an AIR APAC initiative built and operated by Exeter Labs. Participants play short workplace missions in which AI tools give advice, and they decide what to do. STEP is the method every AIR Academy programme teaches: four questions a person asks before acting on an AI answer (Structure, Test, Engage, Perform). AIRS-J/1 is the AIR APAC standard for judgment in AI-enabled work, which defines those four areas.
The cases are written for the programme and can be set in your sector and your country’s rules; say which in your request. Cases about your own organisation are used only with its written consent. Programmes are delivered in English today; if your group needs another language, say so, and we will tell you plainly whether it can be arranged.
The facilitated editions are led in the room. The half day is built for 15 to 30 people; group size for the longer editions is agreed in the proposal. Whether a live online edition is possible is also agreed in the proposal.
The price is quoted per group in the proposal. It depends on the edition, the number of participants, the location, and whether the certification edition is included. No price is published. The programme is designed but has not yet been delivered: case files and materials are completed for the first group that confirms, so the earliest date is agreed in the proposal.
No. The exercises use fictional case files. Where participants work on their own tasks, they use only an AI tool their organisation permits for that information, remove identifying and confidential details first, or use a fictional version instead. Nothing they show in the session is kept or recorded, and it is never used for certification. Your organisation receives these conditions before the programme starts.
Each edition opens with a Practice mission played the usual way and closes with an unseen one of the same kind, so the group can see what changed in how it checked AI work. The half day ends with a written session report. The one day ends with a transfer file that goes back to the desk. The two days end with a transfer workshop, a report for the sponsor, and a manager review within ten working days. This is evidence from the programme, not proof of better results at work.
Not on its own. Everyone who completes receives a Record of Completion. Participants who take a certification edition can earn AIRS-J/1 certification, issued by AIR APAC; no regulator, university or professional body recognises it. See the credentials table.
AIR Academy programmes are delivered through training providers, who own the client relationship and invoice the client. For a first delivery AIR APAC provides the programme design, the case files, StepSim Practice missions and the lead facilitator. The fit to your client, the subject co-facilitator and the commercial terms are agreed directly; no terms are published. Facilitators who want to run StepSim sessions in their own programmes can join the facilitator programme.
