The AWS AI Practitioner Faculty Training hosted by the National Applied AI Consortium in collaboration with AWS Academy aims to empower community college faculty to teach the new AWS AI Practitioner certification. The free online training, held from February to March 2025, combines 6 hours of instructor-led sessions by AWS Academy with 18 hours of self-paced learning on AWS Skill Builder. Designed to build competency in AI and machine learning (ML) principles and use cases, the program equips educators with the knowledge and tools to prepare students for careers in AI.

Eligible participants are community college faculty with foundational knowledge of AI and ML concepts. Upon successful completion of the training, faculty will receive a voucher to take the AWS AI Practitioner certification exam. This initiative supports the growth of AI education at the community college level, ensuring instructors are well-prepared to guide students in mastering essential AI skills.
