Get certified by shipping.
ProductionAIEngineer teaches you to ship real AI systems: you pick a project, build it, and defend the work before a reviewer. You finish by shipping 3 production-grade systems. That work earns the certification.

This isn't a testimonial. It's a shipped repo.
Our certification is earned on real GitHub repositories with real architecture, real evals, and real deployment stories. No fake certificates — only work you can defend.

Straight answers.
How do I earn the certification?
Ship all three required projects and pass a manual review of each repo, README, and architecture explanation. There is no multiple-choice test — the certificate proves you can build production-shaped AI systems.
What is included in the subscription?
Detailed ship specs for each project, a monthly live build session, email-based code and architecture review, and the signed certificate PDF once all three ships are approved.
Can I cancel?
Yes. You can cancel anytime from your Dodo receipt or by contacting us. The 7-day money-back guarantee means you can request a full refund within 7 days of purchase.
How long does it take?
Most engineers work through one ship per month while working a full-time job, so plan 2–4 months depending on your pace. You keep access while subscribed.
Do I need to finish all three ships?
Yes. The certificate is only issued after all three required ships are reviewed and approved. You can repeat reviews until you pass.
Certified on software you ship. Not quizzes you pass.
