01 / Focused pathway
Research & write
Find evidence, resolve uncertainty and produce reports people can inspect.
You’ll produce
A sourced briefing, claim ledger, conflict log and revision record.
Focused learning
Learn AI for the work you do.
Choose a useful outcome, practice with inspectable evidence, and build your capability. Your role and your experience level are separate choices.
Learn for the work you do
What do you want to accomplish?
Keep the general AI course as your foundation, or follow a focused sequence. Each pathway adds six lessons, supplied practice and a practical capstone. Switch or combine paths anytime.
02 / Focused pathway
Business & everyday work
Create useful correspondence, plans and procedures, then check the work before acting.
You’ll produce
A checked work packet and a repeatable workflow with review and recovery steps.
03 / Focused pathway
Analyze data & support decisions
Check data and calculations, explain uncertainty and make reproducible recommendations.
You’ll produce
A cleaned dataset, calculation record, decision note and limitations.
04 / Focused pathway
Build & automate
Build bounded applications and automations with inspectable outputs and meaningful tests.
You’ll produce
A bounded offline workflow, negative-case tests, checked artifact and release note.
05 / Focused pathway
Lead & evaluate AI use
Select worthwhile uses, evaluate evidence and govern bounded pilots.
You’ll produce
An options assessment, vendor question set, pilot plan and accountable decision record.
Free public self-study. Supplied practice needs no paid AI account. Estimates include reading and practice; completion is self-reviewed.
A shared foundation. Different kinds of expertise.
Use the general AI course for broad study. Focused pathways add distinct cases and assessments. You can be advanced in research or management without becoming an application developer.
If you are new, start with these lessons. If you already have the skills, try a focused exercise and use its criteria to decide what to revisit. This is self-placement, not a validated diagnostic.
- Understand the task and check a draft
- Supply context, task and standards
- Verify evidence and unsupported claims
- Distinguish model, harness and data paths
Keep learning flexible
Shared lessons keep their existing routes and completion records. Focused lessons have their own browser records. General-course lessons are available throughout; selecting a pathway never locks content.
For public-safe career evidence, use Career Evidence. For federal or sensitive-work context, use Cleared and Federal Mission material as relevant additions. Training does not authorize actual data use.
Your focused learning
Self-reviewed progress stays in this browser. It is separate from general-course account sync and does not issue a badge. Export a backup to move these records to another browser. Your exercise files remain in your own workspace.
