What you get

Built for community colleges

Tied to local jobs

Pick the paths that match the employers near you. Each industry path lists the roles, the courses for each role and the AI tasks students practise.

Built for adult learners

Lessons are short, in plain words, and work on a phone. A learner who has never used AI can start on lesson one. In English and Spanish.

Teach it on day one

Each course comes with a teaching guide and an instructor dashboard that shows who started, who finished and how well each student can explain what they learned.

Proof for the student

A certificate for every course, with a public link an employer can check and a button to add it to LinkedIn.

Already offering Google or Microsoft courses? Keep them.

They cover the basics for free. Alset adds what a general course cannot: practice on the tasks of one job, and the habit of checking the AI before trusting it.
