Frequently asked questions
Who is AI 301 Advanced AI Techniques for?
It is for people who already use AI and want to become a power user — without coding. It suits anyone ready to go beyond basic prompting into custom assistants and automation.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. AI 301 is explicitly a no-code, hands-on course. The Novice path and at least one Applied (AI 2xx) platform course are recommended first.
What will I be able to do after completing it?
You will be able to build custom assistants, write your own reusable skills and commands, connect AI to your tools, and automate multi-step work across any platform.
How long does it take and how is it delivered?
It is fully self-paced and online. You work through a series of modules, each ending with a short knowledge-check quiz, and you can start, pause and resume any time. It is an advanced-level course with around eight hands-on sections.
What do I earn for completing the course?
You earn a badge for each module you complete, the competencies tied to those modules, and a Rana-AI Tech Certificate of Completion for the course. Course badges also count toward your overall rank in the program. AI 301 is the required core of the Advanced path and counts toward the Grandmaster rank.
