Six modules and a single assessment of 90 questions covering all of them. The reading is open to anyone. The assessment requires an account.
Pass mark
70 per cent, or 63 of 90, measured across the whole assessment as a single total.
Prerequisites
None. The material assumes product experience and requires no background in building models. The Foundation certification covers how models are trained, where that training fails and what evaluation and interpretability can establish. Foundation is worth taking first where that material is unfamiliar.
Renewal
None. Regulation and failure modes move, so a result records the syllabus as it stood at the time of assessment.

What it covers
What it covers. Product Digest issues this certification. No external body accredits it and the assessment is not proctored. It gives a structured route through the material and a record that a candidate has completed the reading.
Foundation and Practitioner divide the subject between them. Foundation covers how a model is trained to behave and where that training fails. Practitioner covers the decisions and controls that follow once a system is deployed.
The modules follow the sequence of a deployment decision. The first three cover what fails in production, whether the team should build the feature at all and how to evaluate and red team it. The last three cover the controls that belong around the model, what to monitor after release and what the EU AI Act and the NIST framework require.
Every page closes with a practical exercise that takes about fifteen minutes with an ordinary language model client. The assessment is scenario based throughout.
The syllabus6 domains · free
Product Digest’s own domains. Each opens its own page listing the concepts beneath it, and each concept has a page of its own.
A support assistant has been live for four months. Usage is steady, no incidents have been raised, and nobody has measured answer quality since launch. The team reports the feature as healthy. What is the strongest objection?
AFour months is too short a period to draw any conclusion about quality.
BUsage should be falling if the feature is working, since it resolves issues.
CQuality cannot be measured after launch without a control group.
DThe absence of complaints is weak evidence, because most people who receive a poor answer stop using the feature rather than reporting it.
