Working professionals
On an H-1B, a green card or as a citizen, in a delivery or QA role and watching AI reshape the job description. The weekend cadence keeps your day job intact while you build the evidence for a role change.
Chicago, Illinois
AI Testing & AI Engineering Course in Chicago
Live, mentor-led AI engineering training for Indian professionals and students in Chicago. A US-friendly weekend slot, every session recorded, and a portfolio built to survive a US technical panel.
Why Chicago
A market that rewards the skill immediately
Strong insurance, trading and logistics IT base with large-scale regression estates moving to AI-assisted testing.
If you are an Indian professional in Chicago, you almost certainly have the harder half already: domain depth, delivery experience and a track record inside real systems. What is usually missing is the AI engineering vocabulary — retrieval design, agent orchestration, evaluation, guardrails, cost and latency control — and a portfolio that lets you demonstrate it rather than assert it.
That is a 100-day problem, not a career-restart problem. This program is structured around weekends precisely because the people who most need it are the ones least able to take time off.

The 100 days
What you cover
Half AI engineering, half AI-native quality engineering, ending in deployment, a capstone and interview preparation.
| Weeks | Track | What you cover |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Foundations | Environment setup, Python, APIs and testing refresh (self-paced) |
| 1–7 | AI engineering | LLMs and context engineering, RAG and GraphRAG, agents and multi-agent systems, MCP |
| 8–11 | AI-native testing | AI test generation, Playwright + MCP automation, self-healing and flakiness intelligence, evaluation and guardrails |
| 12–14 | Production | Fine-tuning trade-offs, FastAPI and Docker deployment, CI/CD, capstone |
| 15+ | Career | AI system design interviews, resume and LinkedIn, mock interviews, job-search support |
Two audiences in Chicago
Professionals and students
Students on F-1 and OPT
Coursework rarely produces the deployed, evaluated systems that US hiring panels probe for. This fills that gap with eight reviewed projects and a defended capstone before you enter the market.
Questions
For learners in Chicago
We run a US-friendly weekend slot alongside the India cohort, scheduled so that learners across US time zones can attend live on Saturday and Sunday without unreasonable hours. Exact times are confirmed per cohort — ask admissions for the current schedule before you enrol. Every session is also recorded within hours, so missing one costs you nothing but the live Q&A.
This is professional training, not employment, and we do not pay you. It does not by itself affect work authorisation. That said, we are a training provider and not immigration counsel — check your own employment agreement regarding outside projects, and speak to a qualified immigration attorney for anything status-related.
Admissions will quote you in the currency you are paying in, along with instalment options. Ask for the fee sheet through any form on the site.
Employers do not hire the certificate; they hire what you can build and defend. What travels internationally is a public GitHub portfolio of eight reviewed systems and a deployed capstone you can walk a panel through. The curriculum is built on the same stack US teams use — LangChain, LangGraph, MCP, Playwright, LangSmith, Docker, GitHub Actions and AWS-style deployment patterns.
