I haven't checked but think it may be compulsory for promotion where I am.

The issue is that I have seen the forms, and can see that it's not that hard, just a giant bore. But I'm feeling massively resistant to having to do it.

I can't see that it will actually improve my teaching. It just looks like a ruse to give our assessment practices a thin veneer of credibility because it's yet another qualification (because the several we all already have aren't enough). I've done a lot of teaching and a lot of short courses for teaching - I don't feel unqualified.

If I were to leave academia, it would surely be better to skip off before having to do this extra piece of pointless garbage.

If anyone has got a lot out of their qualification, please let me know what I'm just not seeing.

I think it's because it feels like mistrust that we don't know our stuff. I didn't feel like that as a student because I was learning new things and applying them into coursework, not applying them and then justifying it later.

And all the better if you can make one of your case studies about strategies you've developed for dealing with students using AI !

If you can't beat them, join 'em.
