The certification follows joint training by UGM’s Faculty of AI & Meta Technology and the Hal Ehwal Akademik, TVET & Industri unit. UGM said the initiative aimed to embed AI tools into teaching and help staff create more effective learning content.
A further breakdown showed 88.10% of participants passed Google Certified Educator Level 1 and 66.67% achieved Level 2. UGM said 64.29% of educators secured triple certification by passing all three required exams.
Tan Sri Dr. Ahmad Zain, UGM’s Director of Academic Affairs, said the certification would support curriculum design, assessment and student services. “The skills gained will help us foster innovation across the institution,” he said.
The university plans to add AI-enabled tools in classrooms and share results with other Malaysian higher-education institutions through conferences and workshops. UGM said the milestone would strengthen its reputation as a leader in digital education locally.
