Terms of use

This is an independent professional-learning programme. It is not accredited by the Teaching Council of Zambia, and it does not represent TCZ endorsement. The certificate you can earn is a Punzisa certificate of completion: it records that you finished this course, and it is not a formal teaching qualification.

Do not present it as accreditation, and be careful of anyone who tells you it is.

The whole course and the certificate are free. We do not ask for payment details, there is no paid tier, and nobody should ever ask you to pay for access. If someone does, it is not us.

Use a real email address you can reach, keep your password to yourself, and do not share your account. What is done through your account is treated as done by you.

One account per teacher. Your certificate carries your name, so an account in someone else's name makes the certificate worthless.

This course teaches you to use AI tools in your teaching. Those tools state things that are wrong, confidently. Everything this course teaches rests on one rule: AI drafts, the teacher decides. Check what it produces against your syllabus before it reaches your learners.

Do not put identifiable information about your pupils into AI tools or into work you submit here. Use invented or anonymised examples. This matters most for anything about a named child's performance, behaviour or circumstances.

Lesson plans, assignments and capstone work you create remain yours. We store them to run the course, show you your own progress, and assess your capstone. We may describe the programme using aggregate figures — how many teachers finished a module, for instance — but not by publishing your work or your name without asking you first.

This is an early platform run on a small budget. It may be unavailable, lose features, or change while you are part-way through. We will try not to lose your progress, but we cannot promise uninterrupted service, and the course is provided as it is, without warranty.

You can stop at any time and ask us to delete your account — see the privacy page. We may suspend an account that is being used to attack the platform, to abuse other people, or to create accounts automatically.

If these terms change in a way that affects you, we will update this page and the date at the top of it. Continuing to use the platform after that means the updated terms apply.

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Zambia.
