Course

AI & GenAI Add-On — Practical AI Skills for Tech Professionals

Works two ways: as a standalone short course in practical AI/GenAI literacy, or as an add-on for graduates of Fourcup's testing, development or cloud/DevOps tracks who want to layer AI skills onto their main course. Covers what LLMs are and aren't, prompt engineering, evaluating AI output critically, using AI coding/testing/ops assistants day to day, RAG (embeddings, vector databases), calling LLM APIs with streaming and tool-calling, a beginner-level intro to AI agents (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, MCP), and responsible AI use — scoped for practical fluency, not full ML engineering depth.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

What you will be able to do

Concrete skills, not topic names — each one is something you can show an interviewer.

🎯

Design test cases that find real defects

Boundary values, equivalence classes and edge cases — not just happy-path coverage.

🧪

Automate with a real framework

Page Object Model, reusable helpers and a suite you can actually maintain.

📊

Read a defect report the way a developer will

Reproduction steps, severity and evidence — reports that get fixed, not ignored.

🔧

Build and maintain a test suite

Structure tests so they survive the product changing under them.

🔗

Test APIs, not just interfaces

Postman and REST Assured, including auth flows most courses skip.

1 AI & GenAI Literacy Fundamentals 3 days ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. What LLMs Actually Are (and Aren't) How large language models generate text, why they "hallucinate," and the difference between a model that sounds confident and one that's correct.
2. Prompt Engineering Basics Writing clear, specific prompts, giving context and examples, and iterating when the first output misses.
3. Evaluating AI Output Critically Spotting confident-sounding wrong answers, checking claims against a real source, and knowing when to trust an AI's output and when not to.
4. The Current GenAI Landscape A practical map of chat assistants, coding assistants and API-based models, and where each one fits into daily work.
4.1) Why this module exists Most professionals now use AI tools daily without ever learning how they actually work or fail. This module is the foundation every other module in this course builds on.
2 Practical GenAI Tools for Your Discipline 4 days ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. AI Coding Assistants for Developers Using GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and Cursor for real feature work, and reviewing generated code like an editor, not accepting it on trust.
2. AI-Augmented Test Generation for Testers Using AI to draft test cases, generate test data and spot edge cases a manual pass might miss.
3. AI-Assisted Infra & Ops Tooling for Cloud/DevOps Using AI assistants to draft scripts, explain unfamiliar logs and configs, and speed up routine infrastructure tasks.
4. Choosing the Right Tool for the Task Matching a GenAI tool to the job at hand instead of using one tool for everything.
4.1) How this module works Delivered generically enough to apply across development, testing and cloud/DevOps backgrounds, with examples drawn from whichever discipline the learner already works in.
3 Interview Prep: Talking About Your AI Skills 2 days ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. How to Talk About AI Skills in an Interview Framing practical GenAI experience (tool use, RAG, a shipped AI feature) the way a hiring manager actually listens for it.
2. Common AI-Related Interview Questions What interviewers now ask about AI tool use, prompting and responsible use, across dev, test and cloud/DevOps roles.
3. Resume Additions for AI Literacy Adding this add-on's skills to an existing resume without overstating your depth.
4. Placement Assistance Referrals and interview opportunities where available, resume review, and continued mentor access after the course ends. Placement assistance is support, not a guarantee of a job or a specific salary — see full terms.

3 RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) Basics 1 wk ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. What RAG Solves Why grounding an AI's answers in real data fixes the hallucination problem that plain prompting can't.
2. Embeddings, Explained Simply What a text embedding is and why it lets a computer compare meaning, not just keywords.
3. Vector Databases A practical look at Pinecone, Weaviate and Chroma, and what a vector database actually stores and retrieves.
4. Building a Minimal RAG Pipeline Loading documents, generating embeddings, retrieving relevant chunks and feeding them to an LLM for a grounded answer.
4.1) Why this module exists RAG is the single most common way real products ground AI answers in a company's own data, and it's approachable at a beginner level once embeddings click.
4 Interview Prep: Talking About Your AI Skills 2 days ▾

4 Building a Simple AI Feature 1 wk ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. Calling an LLM API Making your first calls to the OpenAI, Claude and Gemini APIs, and handling keys, costs and rate limits properly.
2. Streaming Responses Building a chat-style output that streams tokens as they arrive instead of waiting for the full response.
3. Basic Tool-Calling / Function-Calling Letting a model call a function in your own code (look up a record, run a calculation) under your program's control.
4. Putting It Together Assembling a small, working AI-powered feature end to end, from API call to a usable output.
4.1) Where this shows up in real jobs "Add AI to this" is now a routine ask across roles. This module is the difference between talking about AI and having shipped something with it.
5 Intro to AI Agents 4 days ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. What an Agentic Workflow Is The difference between a single prompt-response call and a model that plans, calls tools, and acts across multiple steps.
2. Agent Frameworks at a Glance Beginner-level concepts behind LangGraph, AutoGen and CrewAI, without the depth of a dedicated agent-engineering course.
3. MCP (Model Context Protocol) as an Emerging Standard What MCP is trying to standardize and why it matters for how agents connect to tools and data.
4. Where Agents Fit (and Where They Don't Yet) Realistic use cases for agentic workflows today, and where a simpler API call is still the better choice.
4.1) Scope note This module is a beginner-appropriate introduction, not full agent-engineering depth — that level of depth belongs in a separate, dedicated course.
6 AI Governance & Responsible Use 3 days ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. Data Privacy with AI Tools What happens to data you paste into a public AI tool, and why company and customer data need extra care.
2. Knowing When Not to Trust AI Output Recognizing the situations (legal, medical, financial, security-sensitive) where AI output needs a human expert, not just a double-check.
3. Company AI Policies in Practice Why most employers now have an AI usage policy, and how to work within one responsibly.
3.1) Why this module exists Using AI tools well includes knowing their limits and risks, not just their capabilities.
7 Interview Prep: Talking About Your AI Skills 2 days ▾
