CompTIA AI Essentials (V2) delivers training to help employees, students, and other professionals strengthen the skills they need for effective business use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini. In its first iteration, CompTIA’s AI Essentials focused on AI fundamentals to help professionals learn how to apply AI technology in various scenarios in the workplace and give them an understanding of the legal and ethical use of generative AI. The updated AI Essentials program delivers instruction on the core skills required to use AI assistants efficiently and responsibly. Focus areas of the training include practical prompting techniques, security and data privacy fundamentals, and the ability to spot and assess AI use cases in daily workflows. The course is followed by a 15-minute competency assessment that enables organizations to quickly evaluate and verify employees’ foundational AI skills.
“The focus is on exactly what matters: foundational understanding of AI in workplace settings,” said Henry Mann, senior director, product development, CompTIA. “Our highly interactive, scenario-based approach ensures employees don’t just passively watch. They gain real, job-ready competency in under three hours.”
