Program details and content
The goal of AI Engineering program is to equip you with the skills to build real-world applications using large language models (LLMs). You'll go from foundational concepts to full-stack AI products in just 3 months.
Prompt engineering and LLM APIs
Crafting, testing, and optimizing prompts for real use cases
LangChain and RAG
Connecting LLMs to external data and building structured workflows
AI agents
Building autonomous systems that make decisions, call APIs, and run code
Capstone project
Designing and delivering your own end-to-end LLM-powered application
Program outline
This course, created by AI professionals, combines three intensive sprints with practical, hands-on projects. Each sprint focuses on key skills, guiding you from the basics to building real-world applications.
Foundations of LLM Application Development
Learn what it actually takes to build with large language models (LLM). This sprint gives you the technical and ethical foundations you need to start strong. You’ll explore prompt engineering, learn about LLM settings, and get hands-on with Python or JavaScript. You’ll also experiment with APIs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and others to learn how to craft and tweak effective prompts. By the end, you’ll have a good understanding of how LLMs work and how to use them with intention and impact for real-world applications.
Building Applications with LangChain, RAGs, and Gradio
Here, you’ll discover how to build interactive tools. You’ll learn how to bring in external data using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), work with vector databases like ChromaDB, and use LangChain to streamline LLM workflows. You’ll get practical experience building structured outputs, prototyping chatbots, and connecting LLMs to real-world data. By the end, you’ll have built your first full-stack LLM app using LangChain and Streamlit or Next.js.
AI Agents
Learn how to create AI agents that can perform complex, automated tasks. In this sprint, you’ll go from simple LLM chains to full agents that can make decisions, run code, call APIs, and carry out multi-step tasks. You’ll explore how memory works in agents so they can track context and perform more intelligently over time. With focused labs and a practical project, you’ll build agents that are useful, autonomous, and built for real-world use.

How application works
Our application process consists of three steps:
Application
You’ll complete an application form, sharing your personal and academic background with us.
Video/audio recording
You’ll record your answers to a few questions so we can assess whether the Data Analytics program is the right fit for you. Don’t worry – you don’t need to prepare much. You’ll have time to think through your answers and you can re-record if needed. We’ve implemented and certified this step to ensure we admit the most suitable candidates.
Interview
You’ll have a short interview call with our admissions manager to make sure you’ll get the most out of the program.
Post-interview support
We’ll gladly help you prepare for your appointment at the Agentur für Arbeit and give you tips on how to convince your advisor to approve your participation in the Bildungsgutschein program.
Basic admission requirements:
30 focused hours/week
Focused hours are:
- Working on a computer (not a smartphone)
- Uninterrupted working time in a dedicated space
- Mentally rested, not fatigued (e.g., not after intense cognitive work)
Strong motivation
You need a clear and strong reason for joining this program. It should be your personal goal, and you should have specific reasons for wanting to improve your skills.
Coding experience
You need to have a minimum of 1 year of coding experience with Python or Javascript.
Good English skills
You must demonstrate an English proficiency of at least B2 level to join the program.
Up-to-date computer
You’ll need a computer that can handle large datasets smoothly and runs an actively supported and updated operating system.

FAQ
Can I fund the program with the Bildungsgutschein from the Agentur für Arbeit?
Yes! If you’re unemployed or at risk of losing your job and are officially registered in Germany, you can complete the course as a “AI Engineering” training program free of charge. Simply speak with your advisor at the Agentur für Arbeit or Jobcenter.
How can I get a Bildungsgutschein?
You'll need to book an appointment at the Agentur für Arbeit/Jobcenter. During this meeting, your assigned advisor will assess whether you meet the eligibility criteria for funding.
You can find your local Agentur für Arbeit by Googling your city and “Agentur für Arbeit”.
Is the program also suitable for career changers?
Yes, as long as you have some basic technical knowledge (e.g., in software development or IT). We'll guide you step by step through topics like building with LLMs, using LangChain, and applying RAG architectures. Even if you're not an AI professional, you'll learn everything you need to become an AI developer.
What are the funding options?
We believe that financing should not be a blocker to knowledge. That’s why we offer several options. If you’re a resident of Germany, Bildungsgutschein could be an option for you — it’s a government funding program available for unemployed people. If you’re looking to pay from your own pocket, we offer zero-interest monthly installments or a 17% discount if you pay the full tuition upfront.
Can I become an AI engineer in 3 months?
Yes, if you already have a programming background, you can upskill in as little as 3 to 4 months. Our course doesn't focus on building models or algorithms from scratch (that's typically the domain of AI researchers with academic backgrounds). Instead, we teach you how to use pre-trained models (GPT, Gemini, Llama or Anthropic) to build real-world AI applications. By the end of the program, you'll gain hands-on experience with the tools companies are hiring for today — and build a portfolio of projects to show it.
Do I need a PhD to become an AI engineer?
You don't need a PhD for that, but you do need a solid programming background. It's important to understand that AI engineering is not the same as research-based roles, which typically require academic knowledge in maths and computer science. There is a much bigger demand for practical engineers than for researchers, and the role is also far more hands-on. If you're interested in using existing AI models to build real applications, this 3–4 month course will give you the skills and support you need.
What if I haven’t heard from Turing College within 24 hours of applying?
