Machine Learning Engineers

Certification or Licensing

A variety of certification credentials are available for MLEs. For example, the Artificial Intelligence Board of America offers the artificial intelligence engineer credential to applicants who meet educational and work experience requirements and pass an examination. Visit https://www.artiba.org/certification/artificial-intelligence-certification for more information. Software development firms also provide certification programs. For example, SAS offers the AI and machine learning professional credential to applicants who complete five courses and pass several examinations.

Since the collection and analysis of large amounts of data plays a major role in their work, many AI specialists earn data-focused certifications. Certification credentials are offered by the Institute for Certification of Computing Professionals (certified Big Data professional, business data management professional, and certified data scientist), DAMA International (certified data management professional), INFORMS (associate certified analytics professional, certified analytics professional), and TDWI (certified business intelligence professional). Contact these organizations for more information.
