The GAISB certification pathway for the 
AI profession.

Beyond the core pathway, GAISB issues two specialty electives, Growth & Marketing and Systems Security, with a third (Governance) in development, for professionals operating in domain-specific contexts.

Do I need Essentials before Practitioner?

Essentials is the foundation of the pathway and is strongly recommended, but it is not a hard prerequisite. Practitioner assumes the applied competency Essentials builds toward.
