Are you ready to work as an AI Forward Deployed Engineer?

This is a test, not a self-rating: every question has a right answer, so your result shows what you actually know. 24 questions across the 8 areas an FDE works in, from Python and RAG to enterprise integration, production reliability, measuring outcomes, security reviews and customer discovery. You get a scorecard, your level and every answer explained.

The test

One question at a time. Tick "I'm guessing" when you are not sure; it does not change your score, but it shows how well you know what you know.

What you get

Built from the work an FDE does: taking AI from a discovery call to a system running inside a customer's own tools, and proving it pays off.

A domain scorecard8 areas, each scored from a core, an applied and an advanced question.
Your levelFoundation, Developing, Nearly there or FDE-ready, with the gaps that hold you back.
Confidence checkHow often you were sure and right, and where you were sure and wrong.
Every answer explainedWhy the right answer is right, written so you can use it with a client or in an interview.

The 8 areas

How it is scored

Questions. 24 multiple-choice questions, three per area: core, applied and advanced, worth 1, 2 and 3 points. The total is out of 48 and shown as a percentage. The code questions were checked by running the code.

Levels. FDE-ready 85% and above, Nearly there 65 to 84%, Developing 40 to 64%, Foundation below 40%. If any area scores 1 or less out of 6, the level is capped at Developing, because FDE work draws on every area.

Areas. Taken from the AI Forward Deployed Engineer BootCamp curriculum: discovery and scoping, production reliability, enterprise integration and MCP, ML for delivery, measuring outcomes, security and governance, and SQL, plus the RAG and agent skills the role builds on.

Confidence. Ticking "I'm guessing" never changes your score. It is used only to show how often you were sure and right.
