Rev Up to Recert: GenAI-From AI Possibilities to Real-World Impact
Publish Time: 13 Feb, 2026

AI isn't the future-it's the present. Nearly 70 percent of organizations say AI skills are now critical, yet many learners don't feel prepared to apply AI in real-world scenarios. While interest in GenAI is high, many professionals still seek clarity on where to start and how to stay relevant as the landscape evolves.

That's why Rev Up to Recert: GenAI matters to me. These updated learning paths-AITECH and AIBIZ-are designed to close that gap with practical, accessible learning.

Even better, both paths are available free to Cisco learners for a limited time. Staying informed shouldn't feel overwhelming-it should feel supported.

So let's take a closer look at the two learning paths and how they support different roles and goals.

Mark your calendars: Free access runs from Monday, February 9, 2026, through Thursday, March 26, 2026, at 6 p.m. PT. Don't miss your window to move from understanding the promise of AI to confidently implementing an AI practice in your organization.

Unlock the power of GenAI

This round of Rev Up to Recert is all about taking your AI journey further. Whether you're a technical pro eager to architect solutions or a business leader looking to drive results, our latest learning paths are tailored to help you:

  • AI Technical Practitioner (AITECH): Dive deep into the nuts and bolts of AI deployment, operation, and optimization. Explore architecture, design, and security best practices that make AI work securely and at scale.
  • AI Business Practitioner (AIBIZ): Discover how to translate AI concepts into business value, navigate ethical considerations, and turn AI opportunities into practical outcomes.

Make your AI skills count

Staying ahead in an AI-driven world means moving beyond awareness to validation. After completing AITECH and AIBIZ, you're ready to take the next step. That's right-certifying your AI skills with the new Cisco AI Technical Practitioner Certification.

Passing the AITECH exam proves that you not only know the theory behind generative AI, but how to put it into practice in the real world. You will also earn 15 additional CE credits and the credential that signals confidence, credibility, and readiness as AI continues to reshape roles and expectations.

This is where learning turns into leverage-and where staying informed becomes staying ahead.
