- Learn AI-system evaluation and model-behavior monitoring to the level of completing an independent practical task—not merely finishing a course.
- Build a working prototype, publish the code in a repository, and add tests, documentation and a decision record.
- Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
- Rewrite your résumé for AI Engineer, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
