Certifications
Four certificates, each earned by building and defending a working system — not by attendance.
You earn a FIRE certificate by shipping the artifacts a program requires and defending them to a technical panel. There is no attendance certificate, and no multiple-choice exam. If the artifact does not work, the certificate is not issued.
FIRE Certified AI Engineer
Foundations plus LLM engineering. Demonstrates you can build and evaluate a retrieval-backed AI system.
FIRE Certified Agentic Engineer
The agentic track. Demonstrates you can design, evaluate, secure and deploy an agent system.
FIRE Certified Responsible AI Engineer
Evaluation, governance and red-teaming. Demonstrates you can bring an existing system under control.
FIRE Certified Sovereign AI Practitioner
Local models, residency and architecture. Demonstrates you can design within a boundary.
It is a certificate of completion issued by FIRE, backed by assessed artifacts. It is not a degree, a diploma, or a government-accredited qualification, and we will never describe it as one. Its value is the work behind it and the panel that assessed it.
Each certificate carries an identifier an employer can verify with us. A public verification-by-ID page is on its way — until then, contact us and we will confirm a certificate directly.
