I’m a DoD civilian working as a C‑130 Quality Assurance Specialist, recently converted into the NH series. I’m looking at Coursera’s AI courses and certificate programs (Machine Learning, Generative AI, Prompt Engineering, etc.) and trying to figure out whether they actually carry weight inside the Department. For anyone in DoD who has taken Coursera AI courses or certs: Did you list them on your resume or USAJOBS application? Did they help with hiring panels, KSAs, or promotion packages (AcqDemo or GS)? Did supervisors or selecting officials treat them as meaningful training? Did they help you perform better in your current role (engineering, QA, logistics, data, IT/cyber, analysis, etc.)? Any specific courses/certs that were worth it — or not worth the time? I’m trying to separate what’s actually useful in the federal system from what just looks good on paper. Any insight from DoD civilians or military members would help. submitted by /u/DJCityQuamstyle
