The route, step by step

Start here
AI Explorers for Kids (Ages 8–12)
Beginner · 8 weeks · 32 training hours
Age-appropriate introduction to AI through games and pictures, with safe-use habits.
Portfolio Project: Guess My Drawing: an AI picture game
How it is checked: Final showcase: each child builds and tests a three-class picture game using self-drawn images, shows a score sheet and explains one mistake to visitors.
Optional
Computer Basics & Digital Confidence
Beginner · 6 weeks · 60 training hours
Adds everyday computer confidence: files, typing, browsing and staying safe online.
Portfolio Project: Office assistant portfolio project
How it is checked: A fresh 90-minute office assignment on the learner's own work: files, a letter and PDF, a 30-row register with formulas and a chart, three slides, a handover email and controlled sharing. Recommended completion: 85% attendance, all portfolio work, 70% overall and 70% in the practical. Independent final check: Learner completes the office portfolio from a fresh folder without trainer clicks, verifies spreadsheet totals and recovers one deleted practice file. Proposed completion: 70% overall and 70% in the portfolio practical; critical accuracy, permission and privacy failures require correction and observed reassessment. This policy needs academic approval before use for awards.
