Program outline

Each sprint builds your skills step-by-step, helping you grow from a beginner into a job-ready Software and AI Engineer.

01

Core Programming & Computer Science

This module builds a strong foundation in programming and computer science, starting with the basics of Python and moving toward writing clean, professional code. You’ll learn to think like a developer, use tools like Git, and connect your programs to real-world data. Along the way, you’ll start building useful, AI-powered apps and pick up habits that set you up for long-term success in tech.

02

AI Engineering

This module teaches you how modern AI tools work and how to build with them from day one. You’ll start by learning to use and prompt AI effectively, then move on to building smarter applications using LangChain, retrieval systems, and AI agents that can plan and act independently. By the end, you’ll have a real, working AI app that shows you can turn complex tech into something practical and valuable.

Is this Software & AI Engineering course for me? Yes, if:

You’re ready to break into tech but don’t know where to start.

You want to become a software engineer, AI engineer or AI product manager.

You’re motivated and can invest a minimum of 8–12 hours per week in studying.

You’re excited about learning Python, AI, and app development, but you’ve never coded before.

Already have 1+ year of programming experience?

You might be a better fit for our 3-4 months AI Engineering course.

Build a portfolio that proves your skills

The best way to learn data analytics is through hands-on experience with real data. That’s why you’ll complete 20 projects and one capstone project and build an interview-ready portfolio you can proudly show to potential employers.

Throughout the program, you’ll complete multiple hands-on projects and a final capstone project to showcase your skills to future employers.

You’ll walk away with an interview-ready portfolio that proves you can build real apps, work with AI models, and solve real-world problems.

While working on your capstone project, you will:

Design and build an AI-powered application from scratch.

Apply the tools you’ve learned — like Python, LangChain, and GPT models — to real-world use cases.

Present your final project 1-on-1 to an experienced industry mentor for feedback.

Example projects

Create a chatbot that answers customer questions using real company data.

Build an AI agent that automates a repetitive business task.

Develop a learning tool that adapts to the user’s skill level using AI.

Build an interactive web app using Streamlit or Next.js to display AI-generated content.
