Sber Launches Certification on Working with AI Agents

Sberbank has become the first bank in Russia to launch a certification program for AI agent development. This innovation changes the approach to assessing IT specialists' competencies.

Kirill Menshov, Senior Vice President and Head of the 'Technologies' block at the bank, notes that simply writing code is no longer enough. Modern developers must be able to effectively distribute tasks among AI agents, monitor their work, and build efficient development processes around it.

The certification program has already successfully completed internal testing. Over 10,000 Sber engineers have passed the knowledge assessment, after which the bank prepared the program for a wide range of specialists: developers, testers, analysts, and DevOps engineers.

Participants of the main course at 'School 21' will be the first to gain access to this new learning format. At this stage, only the basic level of certification is available.

In the future, an advanced level is planned, which will allow specialists to learn how to design entire teams of AI agents to solve complex tasks.
