    Why it matters

    The shift this microcredential makes

    From

    AI prototypes that never reach production

    To

    Understanding what it takes to ship reliable AI systems

    From

    Unsure when to use RAG, agents, or a simple LLM call

    To

    Knowing which architecture fits which problem

    From

    AI cost and latency spiralling unpredictably

    To

    Understanding the levers for cost, latency, and reliability

    From

    Shipping AI without guardrails

    To

    Designing for safety, security, and governance from the start

    Outcomes

    What you'll be able to do

    • Explain the AI project lifecycle and how AI systems differ from traditional software
    • Frame an AI problem, judge readiness, and reason about model and stack choices
    • Understand prompt engineering, RAG, and how AI outputs are grounded and evaluated
    • Understand AI agents, tooling, and memory, and when agents fit versus simpler workflows
    • Understand production concerns: architecture, observability, scaling, and cost
    • Apply safety, security, and governance thinking to AI projects

    About 80 minutes, module by module

    Frame an AI problem, judge readiness, choose the right model and stack, and understand integration patterns and architecture options.

    Make AI behaviour reliable with prompt engineering techniques, and ground AI outputs with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architecture and evaluation.

    Understand AI agent architecture patterns and tooling, and know what it takes to run AI reliably in production: observability, scaling, and cost optimisation.

    Apply safety guardrails, understand prompt injection and AI security risks, navigate the regulatory landscape, and evaluate AI project launch readiness and business impact.

    Who it's for

    Built for the people who shape AI systems

    Product managers scoping or managing AI features
    Technology leaders and engineering managers overseeing AI projects
    Founders and technical-adjacent professionals evaluating AI builds
    Developers who want the end-to-end decision map before diving into code
    Not for: People who want hands-on coding labs and shippable code. This is a decision and architecture course, not a coding bootcamp. If you want to build with code, there are dedicated hands-on courses that go deeper on implementation.

    Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with software or technology concepts helps. No coding required.

    FAQ

    Questions, answered honestly

    A short, focused credential covering one skill area. Take it on its own, or stack it with others toward a full certification.

    No. It teaches the decisions, architecture, and trade-offs behind building AI systems, using one continuous case study. You do not write code. If you want hands-on implementation, a dedicated builder course is a better fit.

    Product managers, technology leaders, founders, and technical-adjacent professionals who need to scope, manage, and evaluate AI projects without becoming engineers.

    It is a verified digital credential you can share and verify online. It is not an accredited or government-recognised qualification. CPD recognition is in progress.

    Lifetime access. Learn at your own pace and revisit anytime.

    Yes. Team access with volume pricing and central billing is available on request.
