ChatGPT Foundations for Teachers
OpenAI · on Coursera
Free, about 5 hours, beginner, no certificate. Last verified 3 Oct 2026.
Our take
A sensible first step for primary and secondary teachers who want to use ChatGPT for lesson planning and classroom work. It is free, self-paced and takes about 5 hours across seven modules, ending in a recap assessment. The caveat: the Coursera page says no certificate is awarded, and everything is built around one vendor's tool. For a free Irish option aimed at schools, try AI for Schools from Oide Technology in Education.
