Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, has made its Alibaba Cloud Certified Associate Generative AI Engineer Course (ACA Generative AI Engineer Course) available to its global customers, partners, and developers starting from May 2024, including in Malaysia. The course is available as part of Alibaba Cloud’s commitment to support digital talent development and make AI more accessible.
The ACA Generative AI Engineering Course, developed by Alibaba Cloud Academy, teaches fundamental knowledge about the technology, covering topics from its roots in machine learning to natural language processing, encoder-decoders to generative adversarial networks, to leveraging models via retrieval-augmented generation, agents, and more. Alibaba Cloud Academy is the training and certification division of Alibaba Cloud.
Through the course’s three-step approach—learn, imagine, and apply—users will be able to develop the skills necessary to deploy Generative AI apps on Alibaba Cloud platforms. Users who complete the course and pass the exam will obtain an ACA certificate. With the wider rollout now underway, the program aims to equip 10,000–20,000 learners worldwide with basic AI knowledge by the end of 2024.
“Generative AI is a transformative technology promising to bring the creativity of individuals and companies to new heights. Our ACA Generative AI Engineer course aims to help customers, partners, developers and users of various backgrounds globally to really unlock that potential and drive tomorrow’s digital agenda,” said Selina Yuan, President of International Business at Alibaba Cloud Intelligence, “We are strongly committed to supporting talent in mastering essential digital skills, and we’re excited to continue expanding our training offerings around the world.”
Since April 2023, over 60,000 people from a wide range of backgrounds received training certificates through Alibaba Cloud’s talent development initiatives including university programs, training partners, online training courses, and offline Skills Centres and Training Centres. Alibaba Cloud Academy offers over 300 online and offline certification courses, 17 professional certifications, aand 250 online hands-on labs with over 300 associated partners worldwide.
Enhancing Training Capabilities with ACA Generative AI Engineering Course
As the latest initiatives to enhance digital training capabilities worldwide, Alibaba Cloud Academy Skills Centres and Training Centres are offline hubs designed to enable people of all ages, professions, and walks of life to come together to discover the power of cloud computing and stay up-to-date on the latest technological advancements.
Both Centres offer exhibits, free training, and specific courses to build in-demand job skills. The Skills Centres are designed for students still learning the basics, while Training Centres are tailored for professionals already engaged in the cloud computing industry, enabling them to further enhance their skills.
So far, the leading cloud service provider has launched six offline facilities in six markets—including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and the Middle East.
In Malaysia, Alibaba Cloud and Universiti Malaya, the country’s oldest university, unveiled the launch of the Alibaba Cloud Academy Skills Centre at the University and its first internship program locally in February 2024 to cultivate the next generation of leaders and local digital talent in Malaysia. The Skill Centre serves as a hub for training sessions, workshops, and boot camps and will feature monthly themes covering a range of topics, from AI to Database Management to Elastic Computing, ensuring a well-rounded education for participants.
In 2024, Alibaba Cloud plans to expand the reach of its Skills Centres and Training Centres to more markets in Asia and Europe as a pillar of its ACA Generative AI Engineer Course.
