Elith Launches New Training Program for AI E-Degree Certification

Elith Co., Ltd., headquartered in Bunkyo, Tokyo, has made a significant announcement regarding its upcoming training program designed for aspiring AI professionals. In the wake of the growing demand for AI talent in the corporate world, Elith will offer a new course, titled "AI Development from the Ground Up: E-Degree Preparation Course," beginning in September 2026. This will be the first course recognized as part of the Japan Deep Learning Association’s (JDLA) certification program for the E-degree.

Background of the Program

With the expansion of AI applications worldwide, many companies are facing challenges in developing internal AI talent. A common issue cited by businesses is their inability to start training staff effectively or the lack of skilled professionals capable of evaluating AI projects accurately. It is increasingly vital for organizations not only to utilize AI tools but also to understand the underlying mechanisms that make AI effective and reliable. This understanding also encompasses assessing the validity, reliability, and safety of AI outputs.

Currently, educational programs offered by companies engaged in cutting-edge AI development are limited. As a result, many training initiatives focus too narrowly on obtaining qualifications rather than enabling practical skills for actual AI development and application. Elith aims to bridge this gap with its newly certified course, utilizing knowledge gained from its own experiences in AI development, implementation support, and security enhancement.

During the course development process, real AI practitioners at Elith contributed their insights, ensuring that the curriculum addresses both the theoretical knowledge needed for the E-degree exam and the practical skills required to succeed in real-world AI projects. Elith has a strong focus on AI security, having grappled with the risks and reliability aspects inherent in AI applications. This expertise positions them to deliver a learning experience that transcends mere exam preparation.
