A practical certification for engineers who build, verify, explain, and own AI-assisted software: agentic workflows, prompt & context engineering, RAG, verification discipline, repo ownership, and defense.
Drive AI coding agents with plans, permissions, and verification, not passive prompts.
Tests, blast-radius review, supply-chain and injection awareness before you ship.
Explain the architecture, predict change impact, and catch AI overconfidence.
Say what the AI did, what you accepted, what you verified, and what risk remains.
70 questions · 110 minutes · pass at 75% · versioned blueprint · valid 18 months.
See the AI tools covered (category-based, no vendor lock-in)The AI-era engineering mindset and human accountability, assistant vs agent, the agentic loop (plan, tools, approval, tests, PR), permission modes, and when to stop or restart the agent.
Prompt engineering (how you ask), context engineering (what the agent can see), and agent engineering (tools, memory, permissions). Reviewable outputs and injection awareness.
Retrieval-augmented generation (embeddings, chunking, retrieval, reranking, grounding, evaluation) and AI application architecture (tool calling, structured outputs, human-in-the-loop, cost/rate limits, fallback).
The verification discipline for AI-assisted changes: tests, type checks, static analysis, security and dependency scanning, blast-radius review, rollback, observability, and secrets handling.
Owning the repository: key files, architecture, dependencies, change impact, behavior prediction, freshness/staleness, and recognizing overconfidence about AI-generated code.
Explaining and defending an AI-assisted change: what the AI did, what you accepted or rejected, what was verified, what risks remain, and how to explain it to a manager and a security reviewer.
Security and governance for AI-assisted work: prompt/tool injection, data exfiltration and secret leakage, over-permissioned agents, dependency hallucination, audit trails, and secure MCP usage.
The signed certification combines your exam pass and hands-on capstone with safe-derived proofs from across the ecosystem: verification (OpenThunder), repo ownership (Repo Mastery), and defense (Skills Tech Talk), signed by Skills Tech Workspace.

No. Skills Tech Certified is independent third-party exam preparation. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any certification provider. All product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. You take the official exam with the vendor; we help you get ready for it.
Neither. Every question is original and written to the publicly published exam objectives. We never use leaked, recalled, or copied exam content. Brain dumps violate vendor policies and can get your certification revoked, so we build understanding instead of memorization.
No honest prep company can. What we do is measure your readiness transparently across knowledge, coverage, consistency, hands-on practice, and recency, so you know when you're genuinely prepared before you book the exam. Readiness is an evidence-based estimate, not a guarantee.
