A Complete Pathway Into AI Engineering

Artificial intelligence is transforming every sector. The people who have the skills to develop and manage AI systems are shaping the future. If you are ready to take control of your career and enter one of the fastest-growing fields in tech, we are here to support you.

The NALITS AI Solutions Engineer Programme, delivered in partnership with industry experts, is designed to make you skilled, confident, and employable. You will acquire essential technical skills, practical project experience, and recruitment support needed to transition into an AI Solution Engineering role.

Once you have passed your certification exam, you will shadow our experienced engineers on live client projects. Under their guidance, you will work on sanitised copies of real client environments — isolated sandboxes where you can apply your skills hands-on without risk. This gives you genuine exposure to production-grade challenges while client work remains handled exclusively by our qualified staff. Throughout this period, our Talent team works alongside you on the job application process — identifying suitable opportunities, tailoring your CV for each role, submitting applications, and arranging interviews — while you actively apply, prepare for interviews, and make the most of every opportunity.

Complete the programme, follow the process, and secure a job — or we will refund 90% of your course fees (first-attempt certification pass required). Full terms and conditions.

Entry requirements, exams, recruitment, finance, cancellation, and everything else you need to know before you enrol.

Access to all learning materials in this study package is provided for 12 months unless otherwise stated on your invoice.

You will receive access to course packs when you enrol which include your structured learning path, which you will need to complete in order to finish the programme and library of supporting courses/ important links and AI updates you can use whenever you need additional depth or practice. At the end of your learning path, you'll complete an in-person (in office) exam consisting of a technical test, live business case solving, and face-2-face interview (2 hours), with detailed feedback, plus a set of practical projects based on the full programme. Passing this exam is required to complete the qualification.

Yes. If you weren't able to complete your courses and take the exams, you can renew this Programme for another 12 months at an additional top-up cost. Kindly note that your money-back guarantee falls away when you renew your material, but you will remain eligible for recruitment services.

Your mentors are readily available to provide you with dedicated attention if you run into any issues regarding your course material. Please note that you are required to reach out to your mentor if you require guidance. When contacting us, please do so during our normal working hours. Messages received outside of these hours will be responded to on the next business day, unless otherwise communicated.

If you are experiencing any personal, medical, or professional circumstances that may affect your learning progress, we encourage you to contact us directly. We will aim to provide tailored support based on your situation to help you succeed.

Please contact NALITS when you are ready to sit your exam, allowing 7 working days' notice. The date or time you request may not always be available, so we appreciate your understanding in this matter. All exams must be taken within the duration of your course/programme.

In order to book your chosen Oracle, Azure, or AWS official AI exam, you will need to send us your course completion certificate and pass the internal assessment for your exam (where applicable). Students are only able to book one official exam at a time — only one AI certificate is included in your programme fee. We require you to complete the course and pass the internal assessment in order to book any official exam. All exams need to be booked at least 2 weeks prior to your course expiry date.

  • Your final assessment is an in-person (in office) exam consisting of a technical test, live business case solving, and face-2-face interview (2 hours), with detailed feedback
  • You are required to attend the NALITS office for your final assessment
  • You need access to your course before you can sit your exam (in other words, if your course has expired, we cannot book your exam)
  • The final in-person exam must be completed at the end of your programme
  • The programme includes one industry AI certificate of your choice — Oracle, Azure, or AWS (only one exam fee is covered)
  • Vendor certification exams (Oracle, Azure, or AWS) may be taken online or at a test centre as stipulated by the exam administrator

The resit policy outlined below applies to the programme's in-person final examination only.

Don't be discouraged. If you need to rebook your exam, please contact NALITS for assistance.

If your exam voucher expires, if you are absent from your exam, or if you fail your exam, you will need to pay the full price for the exam voucher to re-sit the exam.

  • If you do not pass your in-person final exam, you will be eligible for one resit at no additional cost.
  • If you do not pass the resit, you will be required to pay for any further in-person exam attempts. Please note that all other exams included within the programme do not include a free resit.

Examination fees are based on the price at the time of your original order. In the event that the awarding body increases the cost before you book, we will notify you and the difference must be paid in full. These price increases are imposed externally by the accredited awarding bodies, and not within NALITS's control.

Hiring managers consider qualified job seekers to be a lower recruitment risk who can "hit the ground running". This package will ensure that you have the knowledge and skills to do just that.

Talent support begins once you have completed your training and passed your cloud AI certification exam. From that point, you will shadow our engineers on live client projects and build practical experience in isolated sandbox environments. Meanwhile, our Talent team works alongside you on the job application process — identifying opportunities, tailoring your CV, submitting applications, and arranging interviews — while you actively apply and prepare for each opportunity. This combined support continues for up to 12 months from the start of your programme.

Your Talent Advisor will work with you throughout the placement process — identifying relevant opportunities, tailoring your CV per role, submitting applications, and scheduling interviews. They will also help you prepare for interviews and optimise your LinkedIn profile.

You are required to actively engage in the job search process — applying to roles, attending interviews, and collaborating with our Talent team throughout. Our team identifies opportunities, tailors your CV, submits applications, and arranges interviews to support your efforts. You will also be required to commute within a 30-mile/90-minute radius. Our Terms and Conditions also apply.

To qualify for your money-back guarantee, you need to pass all certification exams on the first attempt within 3 months of registering with us. If you do not secure a job offer within 12 months after your first consultation call with our Talent Advisor, we will refund 90% of your course fees, excluding the cost of your exams and assessments (these are paid directly to external awarding bodies and cannot be recovered).

The full terms and definitions — including what counts as a reasonable job offer, expected participation levels, and how the guarantee is assessed — are set out in our Refund & Money-Back Guarantee section on our Legal page (nalits.com/legal#refund).

  • Conducting yourself in a professional manner
  • Accepting reasonable job offers
  • Working proactively with our Talent Team
  • The right to permanently reside in the UK OR on a visa with the rights to work in the UK
  • Having a good command of the English language
  • Paying your study package in full or via spread payments without missing any monthly payments.

As a student, you are responsible for actively engaging with your training, managing your study schedule, and seeking support when needed. Students are expected to communicate respectfully with staff, tutors, and other learners at all times. Abusive, threatening, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate behaviour may result in suspension or termination of access to services in accordance with our policies.

  • Manage your study time and progress throughout your training.
  • Access and engage with course materials, training sessions, and community resources regularly.
  • Contact NALITS if you require support, guidance, or clarification.

Yes. Under UK consumer law, you have 14 calendar days from the date of purchase to cancel your enrolment. If you have not accessed any course content during this period, you will receive a full refund of fees paid.

If you access any course materials — including Discord resources, downloads, or training sessions — within the 14-day period, you lose the right to cancel for the training services already received. A partial refund may still be available for any unused portion, minus the value of services already consumed.

To cancel, send written notice to us before the end of the 14-day period. If your course is funded through a finance agreement, you must also contact NALITS directly — cancelling the finance agreement does not automatically cancel your training.

NALITS is committed to handling complaints fairly, transparently, and promptly. All complaints will be reviewed objectively and responded to within the timescales set out in this policy. If you have a concern about our services, please contact us so that we can investigate and provide a resolution.

No. The AI Solutions Engineer programme expects you to join at (or reach) an intermediate level across foundation and intermediate technical skills. During the first 8 weeks you complete the shared AI Foundations alongside the professional track while self-upskilling using our materials and mentor guidance — but this is not full-time training.

If you are non-technical or a complete beginner, the AI Solution Professional programme is the right starting point. It requires no coding and you'll learn to drive AI in the workplace. You can move to the engineering track later once your technical foundations are in place.

Both tracks complete the same AI Foundations in weeks 1–8, then split for weeks 9–12. Engineers take the Advanced Engineering Specialisation and write the production code; professionals take the Business & Automation Specialisation and drive requirements, workflows, and getting the work done.

In weeks 9–12, both tracks work together on the same projects from different perspectives — professionals define what needs to happen, engineers build it.

Yes, for the engineering track. You're expected to arrive with foundation and intermediate technical skills or reach that level during the first 8 weeks through self-directed study with our materials and guidance.

No, for the professional track — it is designed to be completed without writing code.

Yes. The AI Solution Professional programme is the no-code track. It focuses on using AI to automate and improve real business processes — ideal for professionals who want to work with AI without becoming software engineers.
