Learning tracks
This pathway has two learning tracks. Your placement assessment decides which one you start on.
Foundation track
For you if you are new to AI, or have only used tools like chatbots casually. Covers AI fundamentals, prompt engineering, AI tools and ethical AI. You finish this track understanding how AI works and using current tools with judgement.
Professional track
For you if you already understand the basics of AI and want to build with it. Covers AI automation, workflow design, no-code AI, API integration, LLM engineering and agentic AI. You finish this track able to design and build working automation and AI solutions.
Start on Foundation and you move into Professional once you complete it. Start on Professional and you go straight in.
