Flexible, Modular, and Built Around You
The certification program is built around three standalone modules, each focused on a specific set of skills and ending in a hands-on project.
The three certification modules:
- 🧠 Module 1 – RAG Systems Expert
- 🤖 Module 2 – Agentic AI Builder
- 🔒 Module 3 – Agentic AI Engineer
You can join the program anytime and complete one, two, or all three modules — depending on your goals. Each module culminates in a hands-on project. You're free to move at your own pace and submit each project whenever you're ready for review.
For each successfully completed project, you’ll earn a micro-certification and badge, which can be shared on your profile and resume as proof of specific capabilities.
To earn the full Agentic AI Developer Certification, you must complete and submit all three module projects, meet the 70% threshold on each, and publish your work on the Ready Tensor platform.
Project submissions are reviewed monthly. To be included in a given month’s review cycle, simply submit your project before the posted deadline for that month. View upcoming dates in the Program Guide.
Program Prerequisites
This is a technical program. You should be comfortable writing Python code and working with APIs.
Required Skills:
- Intermediate Python programming (functions, classes, modules)
- Familiarity with APIs and HTTP requests
- Understanding of basic AI/ML concepts (embeddings, inference)
- Experience with LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)
- Comfort with the command line, GitHub, and Python environments
Recommended Skills:
- LangChain, LangGraph, or agentic libraries
- Vector DBs (FAISS, Chroma, Pinecone)
- LLM tools or assistants built via APIs
- FastAPI, Gradio, or Streamlit experience
Why Choose Ready Tensor
At Ready Tensor, we don’t just teach agentic AI — we build with it. Our team is actively developing real-world systems that use Gen AI and agentic architectures, including projects in conversational AI, generative authoring, and automated assessment.
The projects in this certification program aren’t classroom exercises — they are modeled after the actual R&D work happening at Ready Tensor. You will be solving real problems with real tools, following an industry-style workflow.
For each module, a Ready Tensor lead (your “client”) will provide project requirements. When you submit your projects, you'll receive direct feedback from our experts, and iterate on your solution — just like in a professional AI team.
By the end of the program, you won’t just walk away with a certificate. You will have public, portfolio-grade projects and the kind of hands-on experience that proves you can thrive in real-world AI development.
Our Task-Driven Learning Approach
Traditional learning programs follow a predictable pattern: you sit through lectures, absorb a mountain of theory, and only later attempt assignments to apply what you retained.
The problem? It’s boring. Passive learning often leads to disengagement and high dropout rates — and it’s disconnected from how real-world projects work.
In industry, you don’t learn first and act later — you’re given a business problem, and you must figure out how to solve it by acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills along the way.
That’s why we built the Agentic AI Developer Certification Program around a Task-Driven Learning model.
From Day 1 of each module, you'll receive real-world tasks and project requirements. Your goal is to complete them — drawing from our curated lectures, articles, templates, and tools, and supplementing with external research as needed.
Why This Matters:
- Makes learning engaging: Projects drive curiosity, pride, and ownership.
- Accelerates learning: Doing leads to faster, deeper understanding than passive study.
- Builds adaptive, real-world skills: Mirrors exactly how professional teams work.
We don't believe in “lecture first, application later.” We believe in challenge first, learning by doing — because that’s what prepares you for real success in industry.
Team-Based Projects: Build Like a Real AI Team
Real-world AI systems aren’t built in isolation — and neither are the projects in this program.
Team Size: 3–4 members recommended (maximum 5). Solo projects are allowed but strongly discouraged — real industry work is collaborative.
Skill Balance: Form teams based on complementary expertise for the best results. Ideally, your team should cover:
- AI/ML Theory Expert: Strong in embeddings, transformers, LLM prompting, and applied AI concepts.
- Programming Expert: Skilled in Python, Git, and clean, modular coding practices.
- Documentation Expert: Able to write clear, polished documentation and create compelling visuals.
- UI Expert: Proficient in Streamlit or Gradio to build a functional and professional demo app.
Note: One person can fill multiple roles if needed, but your team should cover all key skill areas to succeed.
