Five courses: one skill, one project, two to eight weeks.
Live, taught by industry experts, and each ends in a project to show and a certificate with a verification ID. Each comes with placement support and leads into a PG Program.
AI Launchpad
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot used safely and well, and how they work without the maths. Project: a working AI workflow with a verification log.
Data Engineering Fundamentals
SQL, Python and a first data pipeline from a standing start. Project: the Kirana Ledger, a shop's books loaded every night by code you wrote.
AI Engineer Fundamentals
Python, SQL and the numbers behind a model, from a standing start. Project: the No-Show Model, a first model that predicts missed clinic bookings and beats the baseline.
AI at Work
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot made into a working system, a team knowledge base and the numbers, with AI. Project: Five Hours Back, one process timed and costed, with its AI plan.
AI-Assisted Development
Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Claude Code, side by side on code of your own. Project: Ship One Tool, built test-first and published with its prompt log.
From where they were to where they are.
The clinic is what got me through the Spark weeks. I brought a Spark job that had been broken for a week, and the faculty sat with me until it ran.
Four years out, and the end-to-end project panel was the first interview I'd done in all that time. They took the platform apart for forty minutes. The job interview two weeks later felt short.
The Policy Navigator was the first thing I built that came with a number. In my interview they asked how I knew the answers were grounded, and I opened the evaluation set on screen.
Taught by industry experts who build what they teach.
Taught live on weekends, with doubts answered in the weekday channel and the Saturday doubt clinic. All four teach in all three programs.

Real-time projects and an end-to-end project in every program, built to open in an interview.
One end-to-end project per program, presented live to a panel, and smaller projects along the way. Two from each:
Your own data platform, presented live to a hiring panel
Batch and streaming in one platform on a cloud of your choice, with the AI layer on top and a monthly cost statement.
Done when a hiring panel has taken it apart live and it still runs.
→Market (Mandi) Price Pipeline
Crop prices loaded into a warehouse every night, checked before loading, with a Slack alert when a night fails.
Done when the same night loaded twice leaves the table unchanged: 128 rows before, 128 after.
→Your own AI product, deployed and presented to a panel
One problem in your project track, taken from a baseline to a deployed, monitored service.
Done when anyone can call it, with its cost per thousand requests stated.
→Does my policy cover a day-care procedure?
Yes, up to the room-rent limit, after the 30-day wait.[1] policy.pdf · p. 4[2] schedule.pdf · p. 2
The Policy Navigator: an insurance policy Q&A assistant
Answers questions from insurance policy documents, with every answer traced to its source.
Done when every answer is scored against an evaluation set.
→Hours spent on the weekly report, timed before and after
The Adoption File: your AI business case, presented to a panel
One process from your own organization, measured before and after, with the system, playbook and governance sheet.
Done when the before-and-after number is on the page and a panel has reviewed the case.
→The Customer Support Agent: an AI agent that answers support queries
Reads, classifies, answers and logs support queries, with an approval gate before anything irreversible.
Done when it handles a week of awkward messages, and a person approves every irreversible step.
→Every project is reviewed by the faculty who teach it. See all the projects →
