How is the Generative AI Nanodegree different from the AI Nanodegree?

The Generative AI Nanodegree teaches you to use AI. The AI Nanodegree teaches you to build it. With the Generative AI Nanodegree, you'll finish able to use AI agents to automate your work reliably and safely. With the AI Nanodegree, you'll finish able to build, train and deploy your own machine learning models.

Will the Generative AI Nanodegree help me advance my career?

This programme is designed to make you one of the most valuable people in your organisation. By learning to think strategically about AI and automate complex work, you develop the skills that are highly sought after for senior and leadership roles. Many of our learners leverage these skills to take on more responsibility and advance their careers.

Will I get a certificate for the Generative AI Nanodegree?

Yes. For WSQ-certified courses within our Nanodegree pathway, you will receive a WSQ Statement of Attainment for each course completed, and for courses that aren't WSQ-certified, you'll receive a Heicoders Certificate of Achievement. Plus, upon completing the full Nanodegree pathway, you'll also receive a Nanodegree certificate.

Generative AI Nanodegree

Go from using AI to directing it

Everyone's using AI. Few know how to direct it. Three stacked courses that take you from prompting to designing workflows, building agents and automating work at scale.

Generative AI Nanodegree

Three courses. One structured pathway.

Three stacked courses that take you from directing AI with confidence to building and deploying reliable AI systems — then specialising in the direction your career needs.

1STEP 1APPLY AI

Master AI-powered productivity

First, you'll master the strategic fundamentals. Go deep on prompt engineering, learn to build custom GPTs, and design autonomous AI agent workflows to automate complex tasks.

Skills you'll learn

Prompt EngineeringContext EngineeringMCP + RAGAI Agents and workflowsAI Governance

Generative AI for Automation and Productivity (GA100)

2STEP 2SCALE AI

Build reliable AI systems

Next, go beyond demos. Build reliable, production-ready AI systems — coordinating agents, grounding answers with multi-modal RAG, and adding guardrails that keep them accurate.

Skills you'll learn

Context EngineeringHarness EngineeringMulti-AgentsMultimodal-RAGAI SkillsEvaluation & Guardrails

Building Harnesses for Reliable Generative AI Systems (GA200)

3STEP 3SPECIALIST ELECTIVE

Go deeper in your direction

Finally, choose one elective to specialise. Extend into applied AI, data, digital marketing, or software engineering — whichever direction advances your career goals.

Choose between:

Python Programming and Data Visualisation (AI100)

Applied Machine Learning (AI200)

Responsive Web Development (SE100)

Digital Marketing with AI (DM100)

Complete all three to earn the Generative AI Nanodegree certificate

You won't just learn the prompts.
You'll learn the strategy.

Anyone can get a good answer out of AI once. The harder skill is building something that keeps giving good answers when you're not watching — knowing which work is worth automating, which tool fits, and how to catch output that's confidently wrong.

BEFORE

You use ChatGPT for one-off tasks and quick answers.

You copy prompts you found online, unsure why some work.

AI is a helper you reach for — not something you build with.

→

AFTER THE NANODEGREE

You design multi-step AI agents that automate real work end-to-end.

You engineer reliable, production-ready systems others depend on.

You're the person your team turns to to lead the AI transition.

Real capabilities you'll walk away with.

Not a list of topics — the concrete things you'll be able to build, ship, and lead once you complete the pathway.

🤖

Build AI agents that work autonomously

Design multi-step agents that handle repetitive work end-to-end — not just answer prompts.

FAQs on Generative AI Nanodegree

Do I need to know how to code to take this Nanodegree?

No. The two core courses, GA100 (Generative AI for Automation and Productivity) and GA200 (Generative AI for Systems and Reliability), require no coding. For your specialisation, you choose one elective. Whether it involves coding depends on which elective you pick, and no-coding electives are available.
