How you’d get it

How you’d get this certificate

  1. Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
  2. You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer SIAS has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
  3. The centre assesses, and SIAS awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from SIAS.

More on studying for a qualification

01What it is

The Level 2 Award in Applying Artificial Intelligence in Business introduces learners to the fundamental concepts of AI and its application in a business context. It allows individuals to identify opportunities to use AI to address workplace challenges. This qualification is suitable for those working in or entering roles where they may utilise digital technology.

These are the units SIAS registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.

Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with SIAS. It does the teaching and the mapping. SIAS sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

05The credits

The credits, and who awards them

Level 2 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by SIAS rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.

How you’d practise it

You don’t watch this. You do it.

You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.

The Coach Rather than work through “Foundations of Artificial Intelligence: Concepts and Applications” in the abstract, bring me the piece of it you are dealing with this week.
You I have got the write-up due Friday and I have not started it.
The Coach Then that is the lesson. Tell me what it has to say, and we will get the shape of it down before we worry about the words.

  • Bring the real thing Apply

    “Foundations of Artificial Intelligence: Concepts and Applications” is taught against the work in front of you rather than a worked example. You bring what you are doing this week and it becomes the practice.
