"AI does not replace the Requirements Engineer – it amplifies their impact. AI4RE empowers professionals to use AI as a force multiplier while retaining ownership, quality, and trust."

The AI4RE micro-credential equips Requirements Engineering professionals with structured competencies to apply AI technologies responsibly within RE processes. Participants gain practical knowledge of LLMs, chatbots, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), including their capabilities, limitations, and risks. The program focuses on AI-assisted elicitation, analysis, documentation, and quality assurance — ensuring human oversight, traceability, and compliance are maintained at all times.

How do I obtain the AI4RE micro-credential?

To obtain your AI4RE micro-credential, you will need to pass the exam. The exam consists of 22 multiple-choice questions, and you must achieve a score of at least 80.00% to pass. The examination lasts 30 minutes. For non-native speakers, it may be extended to 36 minutes.

You can prepare for the exam by attending a training course offered by a recognized IREB training provider. Alternatively, you can use the syllabus and study guide for self-study.

Take the official IREB online self-assessment to prepare effectively for the AI4RE micro-credential. It provides a realistic simulation of the exam experience.

The exam covers the following topics, as outlined in the Syllabus and study guide for the AI4RE micro-credential (see downloads) :

1. AI Basics
2. Large Language Models (LLMs)
3. Prompt Engineering
4. Risks and Responsibilities in AI4RE
5. Use Cases for AI in Requirements Engineering

After completing the AI4RE Micro-Credential, you will be able to:

• understand core AI concepts relevant to Requirements Engineering;
• explain how Large Language Models (LLMs) work and where their limitations lie;
• apply prompt engineering techniques to improve the quality of AI-generated RE outputs;
• identify suitable AI use cases across elicitation, documentation, validation, and management;
• recognize and mitigate risks such as hallucinations, bias, data leakage, and compliance issues;
• take responsibility for AI-supported RE processes through human validation and governance.

What are the entry requirements?

There are no formal prerequisites. However, we recommend that you have basic knowledge of Requirements Engineering, for example, at the CPRE Foundation Level, to fully benefit from this micro-credential.

How will this micro-credential benefit me?
