LLM Tester: quality assessment of AI systems — new course, first cohort 6 October 2026
We are launching a new course in our catalogue — LLM Tester: quality assessment of AI systems (with Python basics). The first cohort starts on 6 October 2026, with a second group on 27 October 2026.
As LLMs and generative AI systems move into production, checking their quality and safety has become a distinct specialisation with a low entry barrier. The course suits both newcomers to the field and practitioners — testers, analysts, linguists and developers.
What you will learn
- Python for testing: HTTP requests, working with JSON, calling models via the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs;
- how LLM systems work: tokens, context, non-determinism, and defect classes (hallucinations, bias, prompt injection);
- designing evaluation rubrics and prompts, and the LLM-as-judge method;
- automated eval pipelines: promptfoo, DeepEval, pytest;
- testing RAG systems and AI agents (tool use, tracing);
- basic red teaming: prompt injection and jailbreak tests;
- the regulatory context: EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 25059.
Course highlights
- 120 academic hours, of which 64 are classroom contact hours, with practical work;
- in person in the centre of Tallinn (Tartu mnt 18) and/or online; training materials are included in the price;
- price 1700 € (VAT included);
- official certificate upon completion — with a “pass” grade on at least 75% of the homework assignments;
- no prior programming experience required: the course includes a Python foundations block.
Who this course is for
- current and aspiring testers who want an in-demand specialisation — testing AI systems;
- professionals from other fields considering a move into the AI industry through model quality assessment;
- linguists, editors, translators and analysts — working with language and attention to detail (rubrics, labelling, response evaluation);
- developers and engineers who need to verify the quality and safety of LLM features in their products.
Instructors: Roman Kutselepa and Nikolay Zubrilov.

Cloud and DevOps skills stay in high demand in 2026
Demand for cloud and DevOps skills keeps growing in 2026 — a market signal worth noting whether you are starting out in the field or growing within it.
According to CIO's “10 hottest IT skills for 2026”, AWS skills appeared in roughly 14% of job listings in 2025, up from about 12% a year earlier, while CI/CD requirements rose to around 9% of listings. Hiring intent is strong too: Robert Half research reports that 78% of technology leaders plan to increase permanent headcount in the second half of 2026.
Cloud and automation are becoming a baseline expectation in hiring rather than a niche add-on — in demand with the market and employers alike.
We keep our programmes aligned with that demand. Our DevOps, Linux and CI/CD course covers the core toolchain — for a start in the profession or a step up within it.
The main format is classroom training in Tallinn, with recorded sessions and an online option available.
