AI & ML Foundations
AI fundamentals, machine learning fundamentals, deep learning concepts, and how modern AI systems are trained and served.
Curriculum overview
Three tracks and one capstone. Every module is tied to a real engineering decision — when to use agents, when not to, and how to control cost, latency, hallucination and reliability under production constraints.
Structure
Track 1 gives you the AI engineering foundation. Track 2 applies it to quality at production scale. Track 3 takes you through deployment, the capstone and the interview.

Bonus content · self-paced
Learn the foundational concepts at your own pace, before and alongside the live tracks. None of it is a prerequisite; all of it makes the live weeks easier.
AI fundamentals, machine learning fundamentals, deep learning concepts, and how modern AI systems are trained and served.
NLP fundamentals, transformer architecture, tokens, context windows, embeddings, attention, and how large language models actually work.
Python foundations, OOP and design patterns, REST APIs with FastAPI and Pydantic, and professional testing with Pytest.
Generative AI, foundation models, model providers, inference, fine-tuning concepts, and where agentic AI is heading.
The stack
Weekly rhythm
| When | What happens | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Mon–Fri | Pre-class material and personal practice | 5–10 |
| Weeknights | Doubt-clearing and office hours | as needed |
| Saturday | Mentor-led live interactive class | 5 |
| Sunday | Live class + guided project lab | 5 |
Plan for 15–20 hours a week. Learners who treat the weekday practice as optional are the ones who struggle in the capstone. The live classes assume you arrived having tried the material.
Questions
Yes. Module 0 is a self-paced foundation that resets everyone to the same baseline — environment setup, Python, APIs and testing fundamentals — before the live weeks begin. The four bonus tracks cover AI, ML, NLP and transformer theory in parallel if you want the underlying concepts.
Roughly half. Weeks 1–7 are pure AI engineering: LLMs, prompting and context, RAG and GraphRAG, agents and multi-agent systems, and MCP. Weeks 8–11 apply that to quality engineering. Weeks 12–15 cover fine-tuning, deployment, the capstone and career preparation. That balance is deliberate — it is what makes graduates eligible for AI Engineer roles, not only AI-flavoured QA roles.
The spine stays fixed, but the tooling layer is refreshed each cohort because this field moves quickly. Model providers, agent frameworks and evaluation libraries all shift; the engineering judgement being taught does not.
Yes — lifetime access to recordings, plus continued access during your support period so you can revisit classes and assignments while you are actively interviewing.
