Generative AI – Generative AI learning path, C1 to C5

Make with AI, safely: draft, check, and keep a rights ledger.

Levels in this stage

What C1 to C5 mean here.

Each level is earned with an artefact from real work and one check taken without AI.

Quick answers

Questions about Generative AI.

What should I learn after a generative AI basics course?

Use it in real work. After the free C1 Foundation, Generative AI Practitioner (C2) has you draft with AI daily, check every output and log what failed. Builders then take Generative AI Engineer (C3) and ship one pipeline through the GDLC with a rights ledger.

Which generative AI course is for me?

Choose by what you will do. If you write, design or market and want AI in your daily work, take Generative AI Practitioner (C2). If you are an engineer or technical creative building pipelines others use, take the 12-week Generative AI Engineer (C3) cohort.
