AI in Education’s core mission is to help schools and colleges respond to the unprecedented pace of AI. We recognise that there is a vast array of AI literacy training available - both free and paid - and navigating this maze is often the first hurdle for institutions embarking on their AI journey. We are therefore thrilled to officially announce our endorsement of Twinkl’s AI in Education Professional Development Programme: a suite of five courses designed to provide the essential guidance educators needto use AI safely, ethically and effectively.
Why this partnership matters
Twinkl PD'sAI in Education programme supports AiEd certification by giving you and your team the AI literacy you need to succeed, delivered in easy-access, online courses, relevant for both the Explorer and Practitioner levels. The courses available are:
· Introduction to AI
· A Teacher’s guide to Safe and Practical AI Use
· From Policy to Practice for School Leaders
· Navigating the risks of AI in Schools
· Empowering Learners to be AI Aware
Providing incredible value for professional development, whole-school access to the entire five-course bundle is available for just £200+VAT.
Dr Sarah Alcock, Programme Director for AiEd Certified, shared her thoughts on why these courses stood out during the endorsement process:
"What makes Twinkl’s AI courses particularly effective is not just what they cover, but how the learning experience is designed. Too often, online training prioritises speed over pedagogy. Twinkl’s platform treats reflection as a core component - building practice-based activities into each course and supporting the sense-making necessary for genuine professional change. The same activities contribute to evidence of practice within our framework, demonstrating the strong alignment between the TwinklPD course and AiEd Certification ”
Alex Russell, Co-founder of AI in Education, added:
"We are incredibly excited about this first step in our partnership with Twinkl. I have been deeply impressed by their teacher-oriented approach; it is clear these materials were written with the realities of the classroom in mind. Furthermore, Twinkl has introduced a thoughtful pricing structure that makes high-quality AI literacy accessible to entire school communities. We look forward to seeing how this partnership evolves to support even more educators in the future."
