Structured Outputs, Function Calling & Tool Use
Make LLM outputs machine-consumable and actions reliable: JSON schema design, function-calling patterns, validation-and-retry loops, and defensive parsing — the plumbing skill that turns 80%-reliable demos into 99%-reliable integrations.

AI-310 in the role journeys.
This course appears in 6 of our 45 role journeys. Here is what a learner takes immediately before and after it in each.
Roles this course serves
This course is authored to band B3.
Every course we run is written to one rung of the CASI ladder, so a plan can be assembled to take a team from where they are to where they need to be.
What do B1–B6 mean?The CASI Capability Ladder — click to expand
Every course targets a band on the CASI Capability Ladder — our six-band proficiency scale, anchored to open standards (O*NET, ESCO, NICE, NIST AI RMF, Bloom's). A band tells you how deep a course goes, and what evidence proves it.
A note on B6. Courses in this catalog target B1–B5. B6 is not taught — it is recognised, through a portfolio and a panel, once someone is setting direction for others. Every journey here is built to land a learner at B5.
