FinOps for AI · The complete path

From the first AI bill to proven AI value.

Three levels, one price. Go from an AI bill nobody can explain to a cost per resolved conversation the board can track. Each level builds on the one before, and each ends with its own review quiz and certificate.

Allocation, data sources, reporting, anomalies, chargeback
LEVEL 2

Questions

What do I get with the complete path?
Full access to all three courses in your library: Mastering FinOps for AI – Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. That is 358 short animated video lessons, a quiz after every chapter, a timed review quiz for each level and a certificate of completion for each level.
In what order should I take the levels?
Start with Level 1, then Level 2, then Level 3. Each level assumes what the previous one taught, and the Calloway Retail scenario continues from one level to the next.
I already bought Level 1. Can I upgrade?
Yes. Write to support@cloudinstitute.ca with the email you used for Level 1 and we will send you an upgrade price for Levels 2 and 3.
Does the path include the official FinOps for AI certification?
No. The official FinOps Certified: AI Value credentials are awarded by the FinOps Foundation through its own training path and exams on learn.finops.org. These are independent courses built on the FinOps Framework capabilities for AI, focused on the practices you apply at work.
How long do I have access?
For life, including future updates to all three courses.
Can I get a refund?
Because the courses are digital and access is immediate, purchases are final once access is given, except where Québec consumer protection law provides otherwise. If anything is wrong (you cannot access a course, it is not what was described, or you were charged in error), email support@cloudinstitute.ca and we will put it right. Details in our Terms.
Can I enrol several people from my team?
Yes. For group access, see For Teams or write to support@cloudinstitute.ca.
