Applied AI for Software Professionals

Name: Applied AI for Software Professionals
Price: 349 EUR

Learn why AI confidently gives wrong answers — and how to catch it before your users do.

Built around one question: how do you know it's working? Most AI courses teach you to prompt. This one teaches you how the technology actually works — tokens, context, RAG, agents — so you can tell when it is about to be confidently wrong, and prove it with an evaluation rather than an opinion. Hands-on labs with no coding required, a graded capstone, and a certificate anyone can verify.

Who it's for

Is this you?

✓ Software engineers building or reviewing AI-powered features
✓ QA and test automation engineers who now have AI behaviour to test
✓ Technical leads and architects deciding what to adopt, and on what evidence
✓ Product managers and analysts who own AI features and answer for them
✓ Anyone who has to say whether an AI system can be trusted — and show their working

Before you start

What you'll need

· No coding required. If you're responsible for an AI feature, this is the technical grounding behind the calls you're already making
· The labs are fill-in-the-blank — the real evaluation harness runs underneath, so you see what your inputs actually did
· General familiarity with how software is built, shipped and tested
· No prior AI or machine-learning experience needed — we build it from the ground up

What you'll be able to do

By the end, you can…

1Explain why AI behaves the way it does — and predict where it will break before it does

2Tell retrieval from agents, and judge what a vendor's “agentic” claim can actually reach

3Design and run an evaluation that turns “it felt wrong” into a measured pass rate

4Spot hallucination, bias and unsafe behaviour, and build the checks that catch them

5Use AI on real engineering and testing work — and catch it when it is confidently wrong

6Defend a quality decision about an AI system with evidence, not hype
