Level 2 · Sponsored cohort for destination organisations

Build AI judgment across your destination organisation and its partners in six weeks

Six weeks for a destination organisation and its partners: ten modules, a weekly live call, four marked assignments on your own material and a final marked case. The final case runs on StepSim, the AIR APAC decision simulator built by Exeter Labs. One organisation sponsors up to 25 places, and the proposal gives the price.

Who it is for, and how it is bought

For

A destination organisation and its partners

Level 2 builds on the skills of Level 1 and goes further: live work every week, marked assignments on your own material, and a final case on StepSim.

Tourism boards, destination companies and the partners who deliver with them. Managers who own a workstream, who answer for its result, and who will bring their own material to the assessed assignments rather than a textbook case.

Sponsored

How it is bought

One organisation sponsors the cohort for its own managers and its partners. Participants do not buy places one by one. The four assignments are marked to help the participant and the organisation.

The six weeks

How the six weeks run

Each week has one live call, where the group works through the modules together. Four marked assignments, on your own material, run across the six weeks. The StepSim capstone closes the cohort in week six.

How it runs

Live, sponsored, and marked

Live delivery

A weekly live call is the spine of the cohort

The modules are worked through together, on a fixed weekday, with the discussion and the judgment work reserved for the live time. That is the part a recorded course cannot replace.

Assessed work

Four assignments, marked, plus a StepSim capstone

The assignments are worked on the organisation's own material. The capstone runs on StepSim, the instrument named in the Standard, and it is assessed.

One sponsor

One sponsored cohort, one invoice

One sponsored cohort covers up to 25 places, and the proposal gives the price. The sponsor is usually the organisation itself, a funder or a partner body. Places are held for named participants, not sold as seats.

Where it sits

Next step for those who want it: an optional assessment

A separate, optional assessment on StepSim leads to certification under AIRS-J/1, the Standard for Judgment in AI-Enabled Work. Participants who want it book it separately. Nothing from the cohort counts toward it.

What participants receive

A Record of Completion, and marked work

On completion

A Record of Completion

It records that the participant completed the cohort and its assessed work. Each participant also completes four marked assignments built on their own organisation's material.

Enrolment

How a destination organisation arranges a cohort

Three steps to arrange a cohort for your organisation.

  1. Write to AIR APAC about a cohort

    Send the organisation, the number of participants you have in mind, and the period you would like the six weeks to run in.

  2. We reply with a proposal

    We reply with possible dates, the sponsorship terms and a proposal for your group.

  3. The final design uses what the Level 1 founding cohort teaches us

    Cohort dates are agreed with the sponsor. Your organisation's material is used in the assignments from week one.

Questions

Plain answers

When can a cohort start?

Dates are agreed with the sponsor. Write to us with the months you prefer, and we reply with a proposal. No group has completed this programme yet.

Who pays?

The sponsor, as one invoice for a cohort of up to 25 places, and the proposal gives the price. Participants do not buy a place. The sponsor is usually the destination organisation itself, a funder, or a partner body acting for several organisations.

Can participants go on to certification?

Yes, if they choose. It is a separate assessment on StepSim, booked separately. Nothing from the cohort counts toward it, and no purchase changes the result.
