Trida Full-Stack AI Certified
From idea to production.
One certification that says you can take an AI system all the way — model judgment, retrieval and agents, evals, and the operations that keep it alive after launch.
Work through it at your own pace with the free course below. Pass the quiz on every module and your credential is yours — no capstone to build, no review to wait on. For engineers, operators, and anyone who wants proof they know the stack.
What it certifies
Model judgment
Know how LLMs actually behave and fail — context, tokens, tool use — and design harnesses that work with those limits instead of against them.
Systems that retrieve and act
Build RAG pipelines and agent loops that hold up outside the demo, and know when each one is the wrong choice.
Verification as a habit
Write evals before you ship. Prove what the system does instead of eyeballing outputs and hoping.
Production ownership
Monitoring, cost control, and failure handling. Not just building the system — running it.
The course.
Free, self-paced, open now.
Four core modules everyone completes, plus one elective where you ship with the tooling closest to how you actually work. Built from real engagements — repos and failure stories, not slideware.
Core · All four required
Models & harnesses
How LLMs behave under the hood: tokens, context windows, tool calling — and the harness code around the model that does most of the real work.
RAG & agents
Retrieval pipelines, agent loops, and the judgment call between them. You'll build both and learn where each one breaks.
Evals & verification
Evals as the spec: building eval suites, catching regressions in CI, and verifying agent output you didn't write by hand.
Production operations
What keeps an AI system alive after launch: monitoring, cost controls, failure handling, and an on-call story that isn't wishful thinking.
Elective · Complete one
Ship with Claude Code
Take a real repo from issue to merged PR with an agentic coding tool doing the heavy lifting — and you doing the verifying.
Ship with the API
Build a small tool-using harness directly against a model API: tool definitions, the loop, and error handling.
Ship an AI feature end to end
Add an AI layer to a working app — UI, backend, evals, deploy. The smallest version of the full stack.
