NewForum AI Certification
A credential that signals real AI fluency.
In a market full of self-claimed "AI experts," a credible credential matters. NewForum certifies practitioners who can rebuild workflows, govern AI use, and lead adoption — not just describe what AI does.
the credential
NewForum Certified Practitioner.
A NewForum credential certifies that you have demonstrated working AI fluency in your function — that you can rebuild workflows with AI, exercise judgment about AI-generated outputs, and apply governance to AI use in real organizational contexts.
It is awarded only after completion of a six-week foundations program and a faculty-reviewed capstone. It is not a course-completion certificate. It is a credential that survives scrutiny.

what it proves
What a certified practitioner can do.

You can lead AI adoption on your team.
Communicate clearly, build buy-in, run a rollout.
how to earn
Three steps to certification.
step 01
Complete a foundations program.
Six-week cohort in your function. Live instruction applied to your work.
step 02
Submit a capstone project.
A documented workflow rebuild from your actual job. Reviewed by faculty.
step 03
Pass faculty review.
A 30-minute conversation with a NewForum practitioner. Pass = credential issued.
why it matters
Built to lead AI inside your organization.
Most AI training graduates a participant. NewForum graduates a practitioner who carries the work back — someone who can stand up new workflows on their team, set the rules for AI use, and pull the rest of the organization forward with them.
That is what the credential certifies: not that you sat through a course, but that you can be trusted to lead AI inside your function — to identify the highest-impact projects, run the rollout, and make adoption stick.
Who it's for
The internal AI leader your team needs.
Brings AI fluency back into your function — not as a slide deck, but as working systems.
Translates between leadership, technical teams, and frontline staff — and makes adoption happen.
Runs the rollout: pilots, training, governance, scale — without waiting on a vendor.
