How AI-ready are you, and what stands between you and your next AI role?

Start with a 5-minute check of where you stand with AI today, for anyone in IT. Or go deeper: rate yourself on 14 AI skills against the AI role you want and get your gaps, ranked, with a week-by-week plan to close them.

Where most people are

AI use is spreading faster than training. Being ready is becoming a hiring question.

Detailed check: how you rate each skill

Every skill has its own description for each level, so you pick what you actually do, not a number.

0 NewNot done it yet
1 AwareKnow the ideas, can explain them
2 GuidedDone it with a tutorial or help
3 IndependentDo it in real work, alone
4 LeadDesign it, review others, set the bar

The levels follow the way professional skills frameworks such as SFIA describe growing autonomy and responsibility.

How the reports are calculated

Quick check. Each of the 15 answers is worth 0 to 4 points, so each of the five areas is out of 12 and the AI-Readiness Index is your total as a share of 60. Five questions are scenarios with a best answer; partial credit goes to answers that are only half right. Personas: AI Curious 0 to 24, AI Explorer 25 to 44, AI Practitioner 45 to 64, AI Builder 65 to 84, AI Leader 85 to 100.

Market figures. PwC Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey 2026 and the Microsoft and LinkedIn Work Trend Index 2024.

Role profiles. Each of the 8 roles has a target level and a weight (critical, important or useful) for every skill. They are AgileFever's view, built from AI job-posting analysis, where LLMs, Python, evaluation and agents are the most-requested skills, and from what our programs teach for each role.

Readiness. For each skill the role needs, we credit your level up to the target, weight it, and add it up. Going beyond the target does not add extra credit.

Quick check. If you rate a skill at Independent or Lead, you answer one question on it. A wrong answer counts that skill at Guided (level 2) in the report, and we tell you so.

Hours. Each level step has a rough number of focused practice hours, larger for higher levels and for broad skills such as machine learning. Treat the totals as a planning estimate, not a promise.
