10/10 AI Certifications To Add To Your Resume

8 more AI certifications worth putting on your resume — straight from Anthropic, Google, AWS, IBM, NVIDIA, Oracle, Databricks, and Hugging Face. Free where it counts, worth it where it isn't.

Why I put this list together

AI fluency is turning into a resume requirement, not a nice-to-have

Every one of these comes straight from the company — or lab — building the technology — Anthropic, Google, AWS, IBM, NVIDIA, Oracle, Databricks, and Hugging Face — so they carry weight with recruiters who are actually screening for AI skills right now.

None of these require a technical background to start. A few take a single afternoon. A couple are worth the small exam fee because of how often they show up in job postings. I ranked and picked all 8 so you don't have to sort through the noise yourself — and every one is different from the last list I posted.

Want me to break down how I'd study for any of these on video? Comment "study" on my latest post and I'll cover it.
