Chartered AI Developer Program
Validate your AI expertise and advance your career with the AICOE Academy’s industry-recognized certification.
The Chartered AI Developer (ChAID) Program establishes a recognized standard for AI development, distinguishing professionals with deep expertise in AI/ML model development from those primarily focused on API integration. This program promotes best practices and ethical standards, providing employers with a reliable benchmark for evaluating AI talent.
Multi-Tiered Certification Structure:
We offer tiered certifications to recognize varying levels of expertise:
- Associate AI Developer (AsAID): Focuses on foundational AI/ML knowledge and practical experience with model integration using pre-trained models and APIs. Ideal for those starting their AI journey.
- Professional AI Developer (PrAID): Recognizes proficiency in developing and deploying AI/ML models, including model selection, training, evaluation, and optimization. The core certification for AI development professionals.
- Chartered AI Developer (ChAID): Acknowledges advanced expertise, including research contributions, development of novel models or algorithms, and leadership in AI projects. The pinnacle of achievement in AI development.
Key Program Features & Differentiators:
- Clear Tiered Structure: A structured progression of expertise, from foundational knowledge (AsAID) to professional proficiency (PrAID) and advanced contributions (ChAID).
- Focus on Model Development (PrAID/ChAID): Emphasizes the ability to build, train, and deploy AI/ML models, not just integrate existing APIs.
- Emphasis on API Integration (AsAID): Validates familiarity with AI/ML concepts and practical application of pre-trained models and APIs.
- Rigorous Assessment (All Tiers): Tiered assessments ensure professionals possess the necessary skills and knowledge for their respective levels.
