A live, hands-on program that takes you from PMBOK 7 (Project Management Body of Knowledge, 7th Edition) and Agile fundamentals to running real AI projects — data pipelines, MLOps, AI agents, governance and vendor economics — and prepares you for the CPMAI certification. Beginner courses in AI, cloud and AWS are included free, so you can start from zero.
As a VP of Software Engineering making a deliberate career transition into AI/ML and Cloud leadership, I've been extremely selective about where I invest my time and money. Enrolling in K21 Academy's track program has been one of the best professional decisions I've made this year. I've completed four courses and passed three Microsoft certification exams.
Very pleased with K21 Academy thus far. The instructor is very knowledgeable of the subject matter and a very good communicator. The team in the Interview/Job Preparation area are extremely helpful in assisting with resume modification, LinkedIn profile optimization, and job application preparation. I highly recommend K21 Academy.
I have been part of a few training programs by K21 Academy and honestly they are doing justice with what they are offering. They have a detailed program structure, professional trainers and their support system is excellent. On top of it, the learning portal they have, SKOOL, is the real differentiator. I would recommend K21 Academy to all serious learners.
I wanted to express my special appreciation to Atisha and the team for their constant support throughout my job search and interview preparation journey. The interview guides Atisha has provided have been invaluable study material and have been remarkably accurate in reflecting the types of questions asked during my interviews.
The training was very practical and helped me strengthen my skills in Python, cloud technologies, data pipelines, and real-world projects. What stood out most was their career support: resume building, LinkedIn optimization, interview preparation, and hands-on project experience. Highly recommend.
K21 Academy is a great professional institution to meet your AI/ML career aspirations, and has the right training, courseware and job application, interview and placement support to help students achieve their goals. I particularly like the quality and depth of the faculty's knowledge, so conducive to learning.
I started my first program yesterday and was LOST on the first day. Sahid made sure that I regained my bearings and put me on the right track. I was surprised at the dedication and additional time he was willing to take. I have no buyer's remorse and am excited for learnings to come.
Experienced that K21 is well technically positioned in the market. From a certification exam point of view they have experts who are available until your final day of exam and stretch themselves for your success, and they also have simulators available for anyone to be confident for certification.
I recently had a discussion with Gracy from K21 Academy about my job preparation, and it was genuinely valuable. She took the time to understand my background and gave thoughtful, practical suggestions from how to position my resume, to tips on building a stronger LinkedIn presence. The advice felt tailored, not generic.
I wanted to take a moment and thank Shubhangi for all the suggestions to build a better resume and choosing the best career path for me! I highly appreciate K21 for their extraordinary efforts to strive for excellence and deliver beyond. Their teaching method and hands-on labs are high quality to land new jobs.
Thank you for arranging the mock interview and for helping me better understand what the company is looking for. The mock interview was extremely valuable in identifying gaps in my knowledge and helping me understand where I need to improve. I truly appreciate the time, effort, and constructive feedback from everyone.
Sumti was incredibly patient while helping me book my certification exam, explaining every step clearly. She also generously shared helpful exam preparation guidance. Her support made everything so much easier. The whole experience reflects how K21 genuinely cares about its learners' success from start to finish.
I had a wonderful consultation session with Shahid. He took his time to explain my roadmap and proper structure to follow with realistic timelines. What I appreciated was how personalized the guidance felt — he understood exactly where I was in my journey and what I needed to do next.
I had a great experience expressing my concerns with Gracy from the K21 Academy team. She was very patient and thorough in how she went about helping me remediate my issues without making me feel less of myself. I appreciate the team who show the utmost commitment to their learners' growth and development.
I had a great experience with Sahid, Gracy and the team. They were very patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to address all my questions. The session helped clarify many of my doubts and gave me a much clearer understanding of the learning roadmap. As a working professional, I especially appreciated their practical guidance.

PMBOK 7 is the 7th edition of PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge — the principle-based standard that replaced the old process-driven model and now covers predictive, Agile and hybrid delivery. Module 1 maps those principles onto the AI project lifecycle.
Ten modules in delivery order — foundations and Agile first, then the AI/ML and data knowledge a PM actually needs, then tools, risk, stakeholders and economics, finishing with a full project simulation and MLOps delivery. Every module ends with exercises and a knowledge check.
Map what you already know about project management onto AI work — where PMBOK 7 still holds, where AI projects break the traditional playbook, and how to structure a POC, WBS and backlog.
13 lessons · 3 exercises · quiz
Why waterfall fails on AI work, and how Scrum, Kanban and dual-track Agile adapt when your sprint contains experiments that might not work.
13 lessons · 4 exercises · quiz
Enough AI/ML depth to lead the room without being an engineer: model types, how models are built, which metrics matter, and where the real risks sit.
9 lessons · 3 exercises · quiz
The biggest module in the program: estimation with real uncertainty, Monte Carlo forecasting, the full data lifecycle, MLOps, deployment strategies and the checkpoints a PM owns.
20 lessons · 4 exercises · quiz
The most hands-on module: build five working AI assistants for your own PM workflow — standup bot, risk analyzer, status report generator, capacity forecaster and a live project dashboard.
13 lessons · 5 labs · 2 exercises · quiz
Score and prioritize AI-specific risks, run a real risk register, and put responsible-AI practice into the delivery process instead of the policy document.
12 lessons · 2 exercises · quiz
Explain AI to non-technical leaders, report differently to executives and engineers, communicate bias and failure honestly, and run AI adoption with ADKAR.
11 lessons · 3 exercises · quiz
Where AI budgets actually go: cost components, total cost of ownership, cloud cost drivers, ROI you can defend, and build vs buy vs partner decisions.
9 lessons · 2 exercises · quiz
Run a full AI project end to end — risks, issues, dashboards, stakeholder comms — and walk out with portfolio artifacts you can show in an interview.
5 lessons · 4 simulation activities · quiz
The final module: what separates a delivered model from a delivered product — MLOps ownership, monitoring in production, and delivery excellence as an AI PM.
2 labs · 1 exercise
Every project is delivered the way the job actually works — phase by phase, with the artifacts a hiring manager asks to see.
Plan and deliver a multi-agent assistant for car insurance — scope the use case, define the agent roles, and manage the build as a real AI project rather than a demo.
A full simulated AI project with the artifacts to match: risk register, issue log, monitoring dashboard, stakeholder updates and a recorded project walkthrough video.
Take one AI system through all eight phases — pre-project, planning, data acquisition and preparation, model development, integration, testing and QA, deployment, and post-deployment.
A full interview preparation set for AI project management roles, plus CPMAI exam questions with worked answers so you can talk about AI delivery with confidence.

As a VP of Software Engineering making a deliberate career transition into AI/ML and Cloud leadership, I've been extremely selective about where I invest my time and money. Enrolling at K21 Academy has been one of the best professional decisions I've made this year. Since joining, I've completed four courses and successfully passed three Microsoft certification exams: AI-900, AZ-900 and AB-731. What sets K21 apart is the depth of knowledge their trainers bring. The hands-on projects on both Azure and AWS gave me practical experience that actually shows up on a resume and in interviews.
K21 Academy is a great professional institution to meet your AI/ML career aspirations, and has the right training, courseware and job application, interview and placement support to help students achieve their goals. I particularly like the quality and depth of the faculty's knowledge, so conducive to learning. With AI/ML growing at such a rapid pace, it is imperative that we get connected with the right industry professionals who bring their experience and expertise to help students transition into a meaningful career.
I am 3 weeks in. The support is extremely awesome for labs, doubts and even resume updates. Atul Sir is always available to address your concerns and provide career guidance. I am extremely impressed with all the live class teachers. The job and resume support is great. The team creates a custom game plan and learning path for everyone. The real-world project experience and hands-on labs are a key differentiator — it sets this program apart from anything else I've tried.
I joined K21 Academy at a time when I felt stuck and unsure about my career direction. Connecting with Shahid was a turning point. He gave me clarity, practical guidance, and renewed confidence. One of K21 Academy's biggest strengths is its curriculum. The content is exhaustive and serves as a one-stop shop. I enrolled across multiple cloud platforms, and despite the significant time commitment, I haven't regretted it for a single moment.
I recently joined a track course at K21 Academy and it has been a really helpful experience. When I first started learning AI and AWS, I was quite confused about where to begin and what direction to take. The structured curriculum, supportive mentors, and proper guidance have given me a lot of clarity. I also had a very positive experience working with Supriya. She took the time to truly listen to my concerns and challenges, and I really appreciated her patience and attention to detail.
I decided to explore AI as part of a career change, but coming from a non-technical background made me hesitant to enroll in any course. With the encouragement and support of my husband, I joined K21 Academy run by Atul Kumar and I'm really glad I did. The course is well-structured, catering to both beginners and advanced learners. What stands out the most is the thoughtful design of the program and the strong support system provided by the team. The emphasis on hands-on experience truly enhances the learning process.

Every one of these learners came to K21 Academy with a goal, shipped real projects, landed interviews and got hired.
I'm thrilled to share that I've recently landed a role as a Generative AI Engineer. The hands-on projects let me confidently describe an end-to-end AI solution in the interview. The interviewer was genuinely impressed.
I've successfully landed a job as an AI Engineer. I worked hands-on with cloud AI services and foundation models, then later received a second offer as a Generative AI Engineer. K21 gave me the skills and the confidence to choose.
I have finally secured a contract-to-hire role as a Generative AI Engineer. I was deploying a RAG pipeline to a web app during the actual hiring process. The projects I built at K21 were exactly what the company needed.
Excited to share that I have successfully passed my AI certification exam. A big thank you to the K21 Academy team for their excellent training, well-structured course content, and continuous support. I highly recommend K21 Academy to anyone preparing for AI/ML certifications.
