What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Artificial Intelligence refers to systems or machines that mimic human intelligence to perform tasks—like recognizing speech, generating images, analyzing text, or making predictions—and can iteratively improve themselves based on the data they consume.
What do AI professionals actually do?
- Model development: Design, train, and fine‑tune machine‑learning and deep‑learning models to solve specific problems.
- Prompt engineering: Craft and refine prompts for large language models—guiding them to produce accurate, useful outputs.
- Deployment & integration: Embed AI solutions into real‑world applications (websites, apps, business workflows).
- Evaluation & iteration: Test model performance, diagnose errors, and iterate to improve accuracy, efficiency, and fairness.
- Domain adaptation: Tailor AI tools for specific fields—marketing analytics, education tech, financial forecasting, legal research, HR automation, and more
Where to start your AI journey?
We recommend beginning with AI Basics, our free introductory program, then progressing to AI Fundamentals, where you choose the tracks that align with your interests and career goals:
Free AI Basics course for beginners
SoftUni's comprehensive AI program starts with beginner AI course that is completely free. What other benefits does the Basics introductory course have?
- Duration: 2 weeks. In a short time, you will be able to write well tailored prompts geared towards certain outcomes
- Tailored to real-world AI skills. Instead of general coding, you'll focus on applied AI techniques such as prompt engineering, generative tools (text, image, audio), and automation strategies relevant to multiple industries.
- Learn from active AI professionals. Our instructors are not just trainers—they’re experienced AI practitioners, data scientists, and engineers who bring real-world insights and current practices directly into the classroom.
- Hands-on, project-based training. You’ll learn by doing: each concept is tied to exercises, mini-projects, and real applications—so you're not just learning theory, you're building usable skills.
- Career and skills guidance in AI. As part of our AI ecosystem, you’ll get support on how to position yourself in the evolving AI job market—whether you're switching careers, enhancing your current role with AI, or launching AI-driven projects.

SoftUni offers what most universities lack – a modern curriculum with an emphasis on practical experience and hands-on projects, rather than solely on theory. During my time there, SoftUni gave me the ability to develop full-stack projects from start to finish and prepared me for the professional world. The most important thing I learned at SoftUni is that in software engineering every problem has a solution. I obtained this mindset thanks to the young and ambitious lecturers, who repeatedly demonstrated this through coding examples.
The most important lesson I learned from my education at SoftUni is the value of gaining a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts. I still remember when we had to create a web framework from scratch in one of the courses. Going through this rigorous learning process helped me better grasp the technology, an essential asset for when you start working. SoftUni's team of trainers is highly professional. Within a relatively short time, we were able to cover a lot of ground, allowing me to also gain and hone in on numerous new skills.
SoftUni is a great place to make the first step that just might change your life – it happened to me. I know software engineering seems hard, but SoftUni has a great learning program that starts with baby steps and you learn new skills in stages. Once you join the program it will not be easy, but trust me - don’t give up!
All of the lecturers I met were great people and professionals. They were always there to help. The courses were exhaustive enough to give me the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to start a job."
