Course overview

The CMI Level 5 Certificate in Leading AI Transformation is designed for practising and aspiring middle managers involved in the adoption of Artificial Intelligence within their organisation.

This qualification supports managers to lead AI change responsibly, with a clear focus on people, ethics, trust and organisational performance. It suits professionals who need to understand how AI affects teams, processes, decision making and leadership practice.

Unlike a technical AI course, this programme focuses on the management and leadership responsibilities that come with AI adoption. Learners explore how to guide teams through change, communicate effectively and support the ethical use of AI in the workplace.

For managers who want more depth than the Award offers, without committing to the full Diploma, the Certificate is a strong middle route.

Who's It For?

This course suits practising and aspiring middle managers involved in AI adoption, change management, service improvement, digital transformation or responsible decision making.

It’s particularly relevant for:

  • Managers leading teams through AI related change

  • Project and change leads involved in AI implementation

  • Managers responsible for ensuring AI is used fairly, transparently and responsibly
