What gets tested
What screeners actually check
Worth your time
What moves the needle
Practise writing short critiques of AI answers
FreeThis is the actual task. Write 20 critiques comparing two chatbot answers and explain your choice in three sentences.
Read public model guidelines and safety policies
FreePublished usage policies from major AI labs show how raters are expected to judge harmful or unhelpful answers.
Fact-checking drills with sources
FreeScreeners reward people who check claims instead of trusting fluent text. Practise finding a primary source for each claim.
A clean, well-proofread writing sample
FreeMost rater tests are judged partly on your own grammar and clarity.
Save your money
Usually a waste
Paid "prompt engineering" certificates
Platforms test your judgement live. We have not seen a screener ask for one.
Social media skill badges
Anyone can earn them in minutes, so screeners ignore them.
"Guaranteed placement" AI training courses
No course can guarantee a platform contract. Treat the promise as a warning sign.

Questions
FAQ
Do I need a degree for general AI evaluation work?
Usually not for general rating work. Expert projects in law, medicine, maths or coding normally do ask for a degree or proven work experience.
Will a prompt engineering certificate help me get in?
We have not seen it make a difference. The screening is a live test of your judgement and writing.
