Industrial AI engineer
AI where the machines are: where it sits beside PLC and SCADA, predictive maintenance on real run-to-failure data, machine vision quality inspection with YOLO, and plant data over Modbus and OPC UA in Python.

Questions
Industrial AI engineer: common questions
Is the Industrial AI engineer path free?
Yes. All 4 courses are free: every lesson, quiz and final exam costs nothing. A verifiable certificate for a course is optional, at £19 including VAT once you pass its final exam. It is a certificate of completion, not a regulated qualification.
How long does it take?
About 58 hours of video across 4 courses, plus quizzes. At five hours a week that is roughly 12 weeks, and you can start or stop any course whenever you like.
Do I need hardware or paid software?
No PLC hardware is needed. Each course page lists the software it uses; most run in free or trial versions, and many have practice in the browser-based EDWartens Lab.
What can it lead to?
Practise the job itself with the free Machine Learning Engineer job simulation (the first five days are free, no card), then browse live UK AI and ML jobs. Neither is a promise of a job.
