Most knowledge&nbsp;workers,&nbsp;about&nbsp;75%,&nbsp;already use AI at their jobs, but hardly any of them have been&nbsp;properly trained.&nbsp;They\u2019re&nbsp;just figuring it out as they go, which means things slip through the cracks and security can take a hit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/worklab\/work-trend-index\/ai-at-work-is-here-now-comes-the-hard-part\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft and LinkedIn 2024 Work Trend Index<\/a>, 66% of leaders say they would not hire someone without AI skills. This means there is a massive demand for people who have official certifications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Why Businesses Are Struggling<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a race occurring. Competitors are all jumping to write code with AI, answer customer service calls using&nbsp;AI, and&nbsp;analyze&nbsp;data with AI at speeds unmatched, yet their internal teams are falling behind:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lack of knowledge: Many managers have no understanding of AI to be able to instruct their teams.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Speed of change: Every week the nature of AI is changing. What was new and exciting six months ago could be useless today.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lack of trust: Businesses need to know that their employees will be learning safe and ethical use of AI.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where AI training comes into play, with companies hiring outside experts to educate their internal teams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. The Opportunity: AI Training Programs<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This &#8220;Gap&#8221; is a portal to a new business model. If you are running a training&nbsp;center, a&nbsp;college&nbsp;or a consulting firm, then you are sitting on an extremely lucrative opportunity. There&nbsp;is&nbsp;a massive need and demand for credible education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re&nbsp;not just teaching people technology; when you deliver an AI training program,&nbsp;you&#8217;re&nbsp;ensuring people&nbsp;don&#8217;t&nbsp;lose their jobs, and companies that hire them remain operational. The global AI education market is estimated to reach multi-billion-dollar&nbsp;revenues within the next five years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Key Statistics for 2024-2025<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Metric<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Statistic<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Job Seekers with AI Skills&nbsp;<\/td><td>166% increase in LinkedIn profiles mentioning AI&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Corporate Readiness&nbsp;<\/td><td>Only 25% of companies have a plan for AI training&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Economic Impact&nbsp;<\/td><td>AI could add $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. What is an Authorized Training Partner?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An accredited training partner is an organization officially allowed to conduct courses&nbsp;on&nbsp;certain subjects. This holds quite a big significance in&nbsp;the AI&nbsp;field. Given&nbsp;there&#8217;s&nbsp;a lot of &#8216;fake news&#8217; and false guidance available over the web students want assurance that they are receiving&nbsp;the right&nbsp;instruction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you join the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aicerts.ai\/authorized-training-partner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI CERTs Authorized Training Partner (ATP) Program<\/a>,&nbsp;you have the &#8220;seal of&nbsp;approval.&#8221;&nbsp;You have the official curriculum, you can use the AI CERTs branding, and you have access to exams and thus the certs themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.&nbsp;What\u2019s Happening?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The world of AI training is evolving. Here is what is happening right now:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agentic AI: We are going beyond basic chatbots and on to a world of AI agents that work autonomously. This is demanding a whole new skill set.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Government Regulation: The EU AI act, plus new US guidelines, states&nbsp;that companies need to&nbsp;demonstrate&nbsp;that their employees are trained in how to use AI safely. Certs are the simplest way to&nbsp;demonstrate&nbsp;this.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skill-Based Recruitment:&nbsp;More and more&nbsp;companies are ignoring college qualifications and are placing importance on&nbsp;particular certs&nbsp;(CERTs).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an authorized training partner, you have the advantage of ensuring your course content is&nbsp;up-to-date&nbsp;with rapid advances.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Why You Should Become a Partner with AI CERTs<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not begin from the ground&nbsp;up if&nbsp;you aim at going at great speed. Research and&nbsp;thousands of&nbsp;dollars are needed to set up a curriculum for AI. You do not have to bother with that difficult step when you become a partner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many options with which you could join AI CERTs.
