Our Story

Democratizing Access to
AI Evaluation Careers

Annotation Academy was founded with a simple mission: make it possible for anyone with the right mindset to build a career in AI evaluation.

The Problem We Solve

The AI industry has a talent gap. Leading AI companies need thousands of skilled human evaluators to train and improve their AI models through RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback).

But there was no clear path into this career. No standardized training, no recognized certification, no way to prove your skills to employers.

Annotation Academy changes that. We created the industry's first comprehensive certification program for AI evaluators, designed in consultation with professionals working at leading AI companies.
