Charity Excellence AI Downloads
Our Charity Excellence Learning platform enables you to undertake free charity AI training that covers every area. In association with Microsoft, we have created 11 free AI online, certificated courses that enable anyone to use AI effectively, keep themselves safe, and gain valuable career skills. These require no prior AI knowledge, are completed at your own pace, using engaging bite size lessons, demo videos, practical tasks, and fun quizzes. Plus, checklists and infographics to download, and links to more advanced training. All completely free.
