A distinct professional role.

Certified trainers teach approved courses. Authorized Academy Partners organize education delivery. AIS Academy runs the examinations and assessments. Matican Group owns AIS Framework and certifies its trainers.

The trainer certificate is individual. It does not by itself authorize an Academy Partner organization, create Provider status or permit independent changes to AIS curriculum.

Teaching the AIS Curriculum Faithfully ↗

Translate approved AIS course outcomes into lessons without changing Framework meaning or promising unearned authority. Match teaching scope to the subject courses you have passed. Understand the source material personally before using AI to adapt it. Use fictional or safely de-identified examples and preserve client confidentiality.

Facilitation, Questions & Constructive Feedback ↗

Facilitate online discussions, challenge misleading AI claims and invite multiple perspectives without humiliating learners.
