  3. Learn AI-system evaluation and model-behavior monitoring to the level of completing an independent practical task—not merely finishing a course.
  4. Design a learning module with an objective, lesson, materials, assessment and an example of personal feedback.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
  6. Rewrite your résumé for AI Literacy Instructor, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
