    Still have questions?

    Who is this AI Upskilling Career Path for?

    Anyone who wants a clear step-by-step guide to learn the latest industry AI skills and tools to advance their career. Oh ya, and you don't want to waste your money on overpriced bootcamps and degrees.

    Also, let's be honest. Some of the topics can be a little dry. So, we're even going to have a bit of fun along the way. No way! Crazy right?!

    This AI Career Path is perfect for you if:

    • You're a complete beginner (of any age!) and want a full bootcamp curriculum and experience without having to pay $1,000s
    • You don't want to waste your valuable time. You want to learn everything needed to master AI skills and tools in one place
    • You don't want to learn and take this journey alone. You will learn alongside 100s of other students at your same level and 1,000s more that are just a few steps ahead of you

    And it's definitely for you if you're sick of:

    • Outdated tutorials
    • Free courses and tutorials that don't go beyond the basics
    • Learning topics and concepts that are mostly irrelevant in the real-world and don't even get asked in interviews
    • Courses with no community or support system
    • Tutorial hell
    • Feeling like you're going in circles with no clear path or end in sight

    Let's be 100% clear. You aren't going to be taught just to use ChatGPT or learn skills that aren't going to be relevant in the real-world. That's a waste of your time.

    You're going to learn fundamental AI skills and customize AI tools for your own purposes so that you can adapt, react, and excel in the ever-changing world of AI.

    Why learn AI skills?

    Everyone has their own reason(s) as to why they want to upskill by learning the latest AI tools and skills. But here are a few of the best reasons:

    1. The new fundamental skills for jobs. As we're writing this, AI is being implemented into all facets of the workplace and our lives, and AI models are improving every week. The desire for companies to take advantage of this revolutionary technology is growing along with it. And AI knowledge and skills are starting to appear in the necessary or desired qualifications for jobs more and more every day. Just as basic Excel and Word skills used to be the baseline requirements for jobs, AI is becoming a baseline requirement.
    2. No degree required. It's very possible to advance your career by learning AI, even without having any college degree.
    3. It's fun. And rewarding. You get to have a real-world impact. The work you're doing on a daily basis can have a huge impact on hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people.

    How long does it take to learn the latest AI skills & tools (and complete this Career Path)?

    Everyone is different. So it's hard to give a specific amount of time. The two biggest variables are the number of hours per week you're dedicating to completing the steps in the Career Path and your current experience level.

    Don't hold us to it but here's a rough guideline based on feedback we've received from past ZTM students on how long it takes to learn the latest AI skills and tools and become top 10% at using AI in their jobs:

    1. 40-80 hours a week = 1-2 months. Students who are able to learn basically full-time and/or already have some experience.
    2. 20-40 hours a week = 2-4 months. Students who have started from scratch as complete beginners (no matter their age!) and spend a few hours per day.
    3. 0-10 hours a week = 4-6+ months. Students from all experience levels but are only able to dedicate a few hours a week.

    What’s the ZTM Discord community and how can it help me?

    The ZTM Discord is our exclusive online community for ZTM students, alumni, TAs and instructors.

    How it helps you, short version: Increase the chances that ZTM students achieve their current goals and help them continue to grow throughout their career.

    Longer version: Learning alone is hard. We've all been there. We've all tried to learn new skills and struggled. It can be frustrating, daunting, and just plain challenging, especially if you're trying to change careers.

    We feel strongly that the Zero To Mastery Discord community is an essential part of the learning experience and greatly increases the chances for students to achieve their goals.

    It's crazy to think that Colleges and Coding Bootcamps charge you tens of thousands of dollars to provide you with this type of experience. It doesn't have to be that way!

    In fact, ~20% of ZTM students are also enrolled at a College or in-person Coding Bootcamp but feel like they just aren't getting all of the skills and support they need. But with ZTM, they do.

    Within the Zero To Mastery Discord community, you can:

    • Connect with other Developers, Engineers, Data Scientists, Designers
    • Form study groups and complete ZTM Career Paths and Courses together
    • Ask questions and get advice from other people at your same level as well as more experienced professionals
    • Get feedback on projects
    • Meet other students around the world (and likely even someone from your hometown!)
    • Learn how to answer questions and help other students which will accelerate your own learning
    • Get help from others with questions and exercises
    • Work on coding challenges and real-world open-source projects with other students

    It’s pretty awesome to see many ZTM alumni also active every single day, continuing to engage with the community, give back, and level up their own skills and career.

    Are there any prerequisites for this Career Path?

    A computer (Windows/Mac/Linux) and access to the internet. That's it! No previous experience is needed.

    If you haven't already, take our tech career path quiz. We'll give you our recommendation for which path is the best fit for you.

    How is a Career Path different from a course?

    Career Paths are like a full College curriculum. Our Career Paths give you the exact courses, workshops, challenges, articles and actions to take to go from absolute beginner to getting hired.

    Career Paths start with ensuring you know the foundations from scratch. But they go far beyond by teaching you advanced topics and non-technical skills that are essential for your career but aren't taught in Computer Science Degrees or Coding Bootcamps.

    Courses are more focused. Different courses have different goals. Some courses are a great fit for experienced Developers, Engineers and Programmers who want to level-up their skills in a specific topic or framework. Other courses cover a wider range of topics teaching the foundations and fundamentals for beginners.

    Can I change my Career Path?

    Yes. You can change your Career Path anytime. As a member of Zero To Mastery, you have unlimited access to all ZTM courses, workshops, challenges, articles and other materials needed to complete any of the ZTM Career Paths.
