WhizzStep Certificate in Responsible AI and Human Judgement
Learn AI. Question its outputs. Protect people. Decide responsibly.
The full eight-module online programme is currently being recorded and prepared for launch. Schools and families can register interest for launch updates or discuss a live, in-school or hybrid delivery.
Students are already using AI for homework, explanations, research, writing, images and everyday decisions. The challenge is no longer simply whether students should use AI. The challenge is whether they can use it without losing the thinking, honesty, privacy and human judgement education is meant to develop.
Five checks, in one connected reasoning journey.
GUARD teaches students that stopping is sometimes the most responsible decision.

Questions about GUARD Your Judgement
What is GUARD Your Judgement?
An eight-module WhizzStep programme teaching students to use AI with judgement — verifying evidence, protecting privacy and people, and deciding responsibly.
Who is the programme designed for?
Classes 8–12 primarily, with an adaptable foundation version for Classes 6–7.
Is coding experience required?
No. GUARD Your Judgement requires no prior coding or AI experience.
Is this an AI tools course?
No. It teaches judgement about AI outputs — verification, privacy, fairness and disclosure — not tool operation.
How is the programme delivered?
In-school, live online or hybrid, depending on what the school agrees.
How long is the programme?
Eight individual sessions, or four extended sessions covering the same eight modules.
Can schools choose four or eight sessions?
Yes — both formats cover the same eight modules at different pacing.
Is the online recording already available?
No — recording is in progress. Register interest for launch updates.
Can the programme be delivered before the recording is complete?
Yes — live, in-school or hybrid delivery can be discussed and scheduled independently of the recording timeline.
Do students need public AI accounts?
No — curated GUARD activities do not require a public AI account.
What student information does WhizzStep collect?
Student-facing tools avoid collecting a name, email or school by default; work is generally stored locally in the browser.
How are privacy and safeguarding addressed?
Stopping, rejecting and asking a responsible adult are treated as legitimate outcomes; schools retain their own supervision and safeguarding responsibilities.
What activities do students complete?
Scenario exercises, knowledge checks, a Decision Record, an AI-Use Log and a capstone project.
How are students assessed?
Through scenario decisions, explanatory feedback, Decision Records, knowledge checks and the capstone — not attendance alone.
What is required for the certificate?
At least 80% completion, required activities, knowledge checks, the AI-Use Log and a completed capstone.
Is the certificate externally accredited?
No — it is independently issued by WhizzStep and is not externally accredited or endorsed unless formal approval is obtained.
Can certificates be co-branded with a school?
This can be discussed as part of the agreed programme scope with a school.
What does the capstone involve?
A real application of GUARD — such as a classroom AI charter or a deepfake-awareness campaign — assessing application, not memorisation.
Can the programme be adapted for Classes 6–7?
Yes — an adaptable foundation version is available for Classes 6–7.
How can a school request a pilot or cohort?
Use the For Schools enquiry form or email contact@whizzstep.in.
How does GUARD connect to the Scenario Lab and other tools?
The course teaches the method; the Scenario Lab, Diagnostic, Decision Record and AI-Use Log are where students practise and document it.
Can parents or educators attend a briefing?
Yes. WhizzStep can provide a separate parent or educator briefing where agreed with the school. These sessions explain responsible AI use, privacy, deepfakes, academic integrity and the role of human judgement without requiring participants to complete the student programme.
