Finished the curriculum? Take the badge.
A 181-page curriculum is a serious read. The badge below is a small, honest marker that you got through it — useful for a LinkedIn line, a personal site footer, or your own records. We do not call it a certification because the word implies accreditation we do not have.
Before you take the badge
- No quiz, no grader, no registrar. Anyone who visits this page can claim the badge. We trust the honour system because cheating yourself out of a free curriculum is a strange thing to do.
- Not an industry credential. This is not a FINRA, NFA, CFA, FRM, or CMT designation, not a substitute for one, and not equivalent to one. Do not list it as a credential in regulated contexts.
- Stored on your device only. Whatever name you type stays in your browser. We do not log it, store it, or transmit it anywhere.
- Read the legal page first. See /learn/automation/legal for the full disclosure on what this material is and is not.

The 181 pages, in one sentence each.

- 04 · Data Engineering (28 pp)

- 05 · Machine Learning (40 pp)
