Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Product Manager AI certification path.
I already work on AI products. Is this certification still useful?
Many PMs who work on AI products have picked up knowledge ad hoc. This certification provides a structured foundation — ensuring you have not missed critical concepts around model evaluation, responsible AI, or strategic trade-offs that often trip up practitioners who learned on the job.
How does AI Fundamentals differ from AI Strategy?
AI Fundamentals covers how AI systems work technically — language models, training data, hallucination, and capability boundaries. AI Strategy focuses on the business layer: how to evaluate AI investments, set AI product roadmaps, and govern AI deployment across an organisation. Together they cover both what AI is and how to use it strategically.
Does this certification cover generative AI specifically?
Yes. Both courses include substantial coverage of large language models and generative AI — including capabilities, limitations, appropriate use cases, and how to evaluate generative AI features during product development.
Can I take only one course and still get a certificate?
Yes. Each course is independent and issues its own certificate on passing the exam. You can start with AI Fundamentals and add the AI Strategy certificate later when your schedule allows.
