The Standard · Function
Communications
The Standard names 10 skills in Communications. You can be examined on one of them, or on the function as a whole.
A badge names one skill: “Applied AI Badge: Business Writing”. The two titles name the function: “Applied AI Specialist (Communications)”. Learn either any way you like; no book or course is required.
