Certification prep
The IBAIC route, one level at a time.
I prepare candidates for IBAIC certifications. You learn the material with me, then sit the exam with IBAIC when you're ready.
Short answer
How does IBAIC certification work?
IBAIC certifies AI skills at three levels. L1, Certified AI Practitioner, is one online exam with no prerequisites. L2 has five specialist credentials, such as marketing or data. L3 covers building with AI. You prepare with me, then book and pay for the assessment with IBAIC, in USD. If you pass, your credential goes on IBAIC's public registry.
