How it works
Four steps, start to credential.
Self-paced from the day you apply. Each step produces something you can show, not just a box you check.
01
Apply
Sign in with LinkedIn, pick a track, write a few sentences. About five minutes.
02
Onboard
Get approved, start from your chosen track, and keep AI Fluency in the shared credential threshold.
03
Build
Work assignments at your pace. End on a capstone with a real artifact.
04
Graduate
Ship the capstone, then earn a verifiable credential and an eligible recommendation letter you can show a recruiter.
Tracks
6 tracks. Fluency included.
Pick a specialization or General AI Fluency on its own. Specialization interns start with their primary track and complete General AI Fluency as the shared credential threshold.

Claude Partner Network
Anthropic certificates when available.
FlyRank is part of the Claude Partner Network. When partner access and eligibility allow, accepted interns may complete covered Anthropic courses alongside their track at no cost to them. The FlyRank credential proves the work; these certificates add an optional external learning signal.
Optional, not required
This is not a paid upsell or a replacement for shipping real work. It is extra validation interns can stack onto their capstone, eligible recommendation letter, and FlyRank credential.

FAQs
Questions people ask before applying.
Is this really free?+
Yes. No fees, no payment, no upsell, and no data sale. FlyRank funds the program as community work: it helps us know strong builders, but it does not promise a job or give sponsors/employers private participant data.
Do I need to pay for Claude or any other AI tools?+
No. Paid tool plans are not required for the track curriculum. The free tiers cover the work, and nothing in the program requires a paid plan or credit card. Accepted interns can use the portal free-tier tools guide at /intern/free-tier for no-cost options that support the work.
Who can apply?+
Adults 18+ who can participate in an unpaid educational internship and use the required online tools. Students, career switchers, and anyone who wants something real on their LinkedIn are welcome. No degree or prior experience required; the application asks for a short motivation note so reviewers understand what you want to build. Some locations, services, or legal constraints may limit participation.
What do I get at the end?+
A verifiable credential, an eligible recommendation letter, and a portfolio piece you actually built. We do not promise a job.
