Two days - two skills

You will leave this two days hands on workshop with working test assets, AI-assisted workflows, evaluation skills, and the confidence to test modern AI products in real-world conditions.

AI-ASSISTED TESTING

AI-ASSISTED TESTING

Expand your QA stack and ship coverage in hours, not days – the efficiency teams now expect.

  • Create tests with Claude Code and Playwright

  • Run and debug Playwright tests with custom agent skills

  • Learn how to build own agent skills and workflows

  • Test real customer journeys

  • Track what passes and fails

  • Improve tests as the product changes

AI TESTING AND EVALUATION

AI TESTING AND EVALUATION

Own AI quality end-to-end and qualify for the $150k-$250k AI QA roles teams are racing to fill.

  • Find AI mistakes

  • Catch hallucinations

  • Check for bias and fairness

  • Test prompt attacks

  • Check safety guardrails

  • Write clear findings

The QA market is splitting into two groups.

One group keeps testing the old way while automation and AI accelerate around them. The other learns to use AI to create coverage, evaluate model behavior, and own quality in AI-native products.

Rethink what 'pass/fail' means when it comes to AI

Just wrapped up an AI Testing course and it was super practical and eye-opening. Learned how to test models, spot hallucinations, and rethink what "pass/fail" means when it comes to AI.

An absolute masterclass for anyone transitioning from traditional QA into AI and LLMs

This 5-week course is an absolute masterclass for anyone transitioning from traditional QA into the world of AI and LLMs. It moves far beyond the hype to tackle the genuine technical challenges of testing non-deterministic solutions, providing a robust framework for building a real-world test strategy. What made this course stand out: 1. Deep-Dive Tooling: We got hands-on experience with Promptfoo and LM Studio, learning exactly how to leverage them for measurable results and why. 2. Red Teaming & Strategy: Moving from theory to the actual execution of Red Teaming was a highlight, as was the focus on the financial cost of different using different LLMs and testing approaches. 3, Practical 'Learn-See-Do' Format: The structure was excellent. Every session followed a clear 'concept demonstration group exercise' flow. Working through these concepts in breakout groups ensured the knowledge actually stuck. 4. Total Support: The flexibility of having recorded sessions was a lifesaver for busy weeks and having the tutors available via Discord throughout the 5 weeks meant no question went unanswered. If you want to understand how to actually validate AI performance and manage the risks of non-deterministic systems, this is the course you need. Highly recommended!

Adversarial testing, bias detection, red teaming — hands-on, not just theory

Really glad I took this course. The instructors clearly know their craft and do a great job guiding you through complex material in a way that actually sticks. We covered adversarial testing, bias detection, red teaming, and multi-model evaluation using real tools like Promptfoo, Agenta AI, and Arato AI — hands-on, not just theory. Highly recommend for anyone serious about AI testing.

Working in QA and test automation, looking to expand into AI — a worthwhile step

I recently completed the AI course at Engenious University and overall it was a good learning experience. As someone working in the QA and test automation space and looking to expand into AI, I found the course a worthwhile step in that direction. The hands-on projects were definitely the strongest part of the programme. Being able to work through real problems rather than just absorbing theory made the concepts stick, and I came away with practical skills I can apply directly in my work.

The technical skills and the mindset shift required to transition into AI/LLM testing

The 5-week LLM Testing Certification Program from Engenious University was an excellent learning journey that combined structure, depth, and real-world application. The curriculum was thoughtfully designed, starting with the fundamentals of LLM behavior and progressing into advanced areas such as prompt injections, hallucinations, bias, red-teaming, and compliance. What I found most valuable was the strong balance between theory and hands-on practice — every concept was reinforced with practical exercises using tools like Promptfoo and LangTest, which made the learning directly applicable to enterprise QA. The instructors, Igor Dorovskikh and Vladimir, brought clarity and industry context, ensuring the material was not only relevant but also actionable for today's AI-driven landscape. Overall, the program equips QA professionals with both the technical skills and the mindset shift required to transition into AI/LLM testing, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay ahead in the future of quality assurance.

Valuable new skills and a community of like-minded peers who continue to support and inspire me

An incredible learning journey! I loved learning how to test LLMs through practical exercises in group sessions and hands-on, real app testing. It's also been super valuable to get insights into what skills are really needed right now in the industry and how to prepare for interviews. The instructors are super passionate about what they do and genuinely care about everyone's progress. I finished with valuable new skills and a community of like-minded peers who continue to support and inspire me.

Success Story

Dennis Nikolayenko

Prompt Evaluation Engineer at Meta

Testing AI and everything that we've been learning so far are very different. The reason why I am excited to tell you this is not because I'm super smart. It's because AI is smart and we learned how to use it. My message is if I can do it, you can do it.
