Overview

 AI Fundamentals is a credit-bearing, hands-on course designed specifically for the academic market to help institutions teach students how to understand and use artificial intelligence safely, effectively, and responsibly. This 3-credit course equips non-technical learners with foundational AI literacy and practical skills that are increasingly required across academic programs and entry-level careers, regardless of major.

The course blends high-quality instructional content with applied, scenario-based learning delivered through CompTIA’s proprietary AI simulations and labs. Students learn how AI, particularly generative AI and chatbots, works at a conceptual level, when and how AI should be used, how to design effective prompts, and how to critically evaluate AI outputs for accuracy, bias, and quality. Throughout the course, learners complete hands-on projects that reinforce responsible use, academic integrity, transparency, and human accountability.

The curriculum is vendor-neutral and designed to align with common general education and elective structures in academics. A built-in Competency Assessment enables institutions to validate student AI proficiency after students complete the course.
