LockedIn Labs · Learning paths

Learn AI.
Build your next step.

A useful starting point, a sequence to study, and work you can show. Choose the path that fits your experience.

Start without an IT background. Build on software experience. Grow toward forward-deployed engineering.

Your reading path

Start learning AI with no IT background

Open your learning path
One foundation. Different contributions.

Six skills to practice in any AI role.

The skills check starts with these shared areas, then adds scenarios for everyday AI work, developers, product and delivery teams, or FDEs.

  1. 01

    AI literacy

    Recognize what a model can and cannot establish.

  2. 02

    Clear instructions

    Give the task, context, constraints and examples.

  3. 03

    Problem decomposition

    Break work into steps that can be checked.

  4. 04

    Agents and workflows

    Choose where automation needs a boundary.

  5. 05

    Verification

    Check sources, test difficult cases and correct errors.

  6. 06

    Governance

    Handle information and approvals responsibly.

Practice a decision and get feedback
The learning library

Know what to study—and what to build.

Each guide gives you a learning sequence, a concrete project, review questions and first-party resources. Course prerequisites and product access are explained before you commit.

01How to become a forward deployed engineerBuild toward FDE work through software, customer discovery, evaluation, and operational delivery.02Start learning AI with no IT backgroundBegin with useful work, build a checked workflow, and decide whether coding belongs in your next step.03Move from software developer to FDEExtend your engineering ability into customer discovery, evaluated AI systems, integration, and adoption.04Build AI product and delivery skillsLearn to choose useful workflows, define acceptance, evaluate outputs, and support adoption.05Choose AI courses that match your next stepCompare foundations, coding, API development, and evaluation without confusing course completion with job readiness.06Understand AI consulting and implementationConnect business advice to working systems, inspect delivery evidence, and prepare a useful first engagement.
From a lesson to useful work

Make the learning visible.

A self-check helps you find a gap. A work sample gives you something to review. A fresh attempt shows how you respond to feedback.

  1. 01

    Study a foundation

    Choose a course for your current experience.

  2. 02

    Try a practical task

    Keep the brief, output, checks and corrections.

  3. 03

    Ask someone to review

    Use the feedback on a changed example.

Continue with guided practice.
