Twelve modules run in two phases: AI and data foundations (AI strategy, data strategy, deployment, AI risks, data privacy) and leading AI transformation (leadership, nimble organizations, x-teams, AI governance, culture of innovation), plus eight optional live sessions on topics such as agentic AI and AI regulation. Expect about 5 hours per week; no coding is required. Passing at 70 percent earns a certificate of completion and 6.0 CEUs.
