Teach with AI with evidence, structure, and real artifacts.
Navigate AI certifications are not passive video courses or generic prompt tutorials. They are developmental, FAFI-informed, TEACH-aligned pathways designed to move faculty from exploration to implementation — with real work products produced along the way.
Enroll on your own
Best for faculty who want a self-paced, practical entry point into AI fluency and need a clear next step that fits their current level.
- Start with FAFI to identify the right level
- Complete a structured course and produce deployable artifacts
- Earn a real credential backed by actual work
License for a department or campus
Best for CTLs, deans, online learning leaders, and academic units that want a shared faculty development pathway rather than disconnected workshops.
- Use FAFI for baseline and growth measurement
- Run faculty cohorts with a common framework and language
- Connect the certification pathway to broader strategy
Start with where you are, not where marketing says you should start.
FAFI makes the pathway smarter. Instead of guessing whether to begin with Ignite, Build, or Elevate, faculty can use a structured diagnostic to identify their current fluency and choose the right entry point.
One diagnostic. Better placement.

LEAD Series
Three levels for faculty implementation. One leadership series for peer support, strategy, and institutional influence.
The three core levels help faculty move from foundational fluency to more capable course integration. The leadership series is for faculty moving into peer support, department strategy, and fellowship-level institution building.
Ignite
For faculty who need a credible, non-hyped starting point. Focuses on foundational fluency, faculty confidence, policy basics, core tool use, and responsible classroom adoption.
Build
For faculty already experimenting with AI who now need stronger course design, assignment redesign, student guidance, and implementation structure.
Elevate
For faculty ready to move beyond isolated activities and toward more integrated, strategic, course-level AI design with stronger coherence and leadership potential.
LEAD Series: Support, Strategy, Fellowship
Once faculty reach fluent practice, the next question is how they can support peers, shape departmental strategy, and build institution-facing initiatives that last.
Support
Peer coaching, practical facilitation, workshop leadership, and grounded faculty support.
Strategy
Readiness assessment, roadmapping, policy momentum, and department-level planning.
Fellowship
Pilot or initiative design for faculty leaders building something real and reusable on campus.
The credential matters because the work behind it is real.
Each level produces real artifacts — not reflections, not quizzes, not completion badges. Faculty leave with actual course-facing work they can use immediately.
Ignite artifacts
Foundational deliverables that help faculty establish a credible starting point and communicate expectations clearly to students.
Build artifacts
Practical redesign work that moves AI integration into course activities, assignment logic, and student-facing guidance.
Elevate artifacts
Strategic course-level outputs for faculty ready to build stronger coherence, better assessment, and a more durable teaching approach.
Designed for both individual growth and institutional implementation
The pathway is stronger because it is connected to the broader Navigate AI system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Faculty AI Fluency Certification FAQs
Common questions about faculty ai fluency certification from institutional leaders, faculty, and program administrators.
What is the Faculty AI Fluency Certification Program?
It is a structured pathway with two tracks — Foundations and Leadership — designed to move faculty from AI awareness to confident, research-informed AI teaching practice and institutional leadership.
How is the faculty AI fluency certification structured?
The program has two tracks: the Foundations Track (three courses covering AI fluency, assignment redesign, and verification) and the AI Educational Leadership Certificate (three advanced courses for faculty who want to mentor, strategize, and lead).
Is the certification for individual faculty or cohort-based?
Both options are available. Individual faculty can self-enroll, and institutions can run cohort-based implementations with Navigate AI.
What do faculty receive after completing the program?
Faculty receive a credential, course artifacts, and practical frameworks they can apply in their own courses immediately. Institutional cohorts may also produce implementation artifacts relevant to their specific programs.
Do not guess your way into the wrong level.
Individual faculty should start with FAFI — it takes about 10 minutes and tells you exactly which level to enter. Institutional buyers should start a cohort conversation — the certification pathway is designed to scale across departments and campuses.
Start with the diagnostic
FAFI helps you identify the right level and gives the certification path more integrity than simple self-selection.
Start with FAFI →Use certifications as a cohort system
Pair the pathway with institutional planning, faculty development, and broader strategy instead of treating it like a one-off course purchase.
