Three Programmes.
Defined Scope. Clear Output.

Each programme covers a specific part of the AI development skill set. Choose based on where you are now, not where you hope to be after a vague overview course.

Methodology

How the Programmes Work

Defined Scope per Programme

Each programme has a published syllabus with specific topics, deliverables and time commitment. What you're signing up for is described before you sign up.

Work Reviewed, Not Just Submitted

Assignments and projects are reviewed by practitioners, not auto-graders. Feedback is specific to what you built, not generic comments about a category of error.

Output Artefacts Documented

From notation sheets to portfolio assessments, every programme produces something that exists after the programme ends and that can be shown to someone who wasn't part of the cohort.

Mathematics for Machine Learning
Programme 01 · 7 Weeks

Mathematics for Machine Learning Refresher

A seven-week refresher for people who can code but find the notation in papers slows them down. It covers linear algebra as it is actually used in modelling, calculus for gradients, probability and distributions, expectation and variance intuition, and enough optimisation theory to understand why training behaves the way it does. Every concept is paired with a short notebook that makes it concrete. Suitable for developers returning to mathematics after some years away.

  • Fourteen live sessions scheduled for MYT
  • Weekly problem sets with worked solutions
  • Notation reference sheet — a lasting resource
  • Dedicated study channel during programme
  • Completion record issued at close

Process Steps

1

Foundations: vectors, matrices and notation used in ML papers

2

Calculus for gradients: derivatives, chain rule, partial differentiation

3

Probability: distributions, expectation, variance — applied to model behaviour

4

Optimisation: gradient descent mechanics, loss landscapes, convergence intuition

Model Building Studio
Programme 02 · 13 Weeks

Model Building Studio

A thirteen-week studio in which learners build four models of increasing ambition under weekly critique. The emphasis is on judgement rather than syntax: choosing an approach that fits the data, designing an evaluation that could actually fail, diagnosing training problems, documenting decisions and knowing when to stop. Each studio week ends with a public critique session where work is discussed openly and kindly. Aimed at learners with foundations already in place. Commitment is nine to eleven hours a week.

  • Twenty-six sessions including all critiques
  • GPU credits included — no separate sign-up
  • Four model build-and-critique cycles
  • Mentor pairing with structured check-in schedule
  • Decision log template + portfolio review at close

Studio Cycle (repeated four times at increasing complexity)

1

Problem framing and dataset selection — defining what failure looks like

2

Model development with decision log maintained throughout

3

Evaluation design and results documentation

4

Public critique: presenting decisions and receiving structured feedback

Portfolio and Practice Programme
Programme 03 · 10 Months

Portfolio and Practice Programme

A ten-month part-time programme for learners preparing to work professionally in applied AI. It combines technical modules across data engineering, modelling and deployment with sustained work on three portfolio projects, each documented to a standard a reviewer can follow. The programme also runs practical sessions on technical writing, code review etiquette, whiteboard problem practice and how to talk through a project in an interview. Commitment is twelve hours a week.

  • Weekly sessions across data engineering, modelling, deployment
  • Three full project reviews with written assessor feedback
  • Mentoring throughout the ten months
  • Cloud credits included; interview practice workshops
  • Final portfolio assessment + written reference summarising work done

Programme Standards

Data Privacy

Learner data is not shared with third parties for marketing. All information collected is used for programme delivery and communication only.

Pre-Cohort Curriculum Review

Syllabus and materials are reviewed before each new cohort. Learners in any one cohort follow the same reviewed version of the programme.

Session Recording Access

All live sessions are recorded and made available to enrolled learners within 24 hours of the session closing.

Cohort Size Limits

Intake sizes are capped so that critique and mentoring remain substantive. We run additional cohorts rather than increase sizes beyond what the format can support.

Honest Outcome Descriptions

All programme descriptions specify skills practised and artefacts produced. No income projections or employment guarantees are made or implied.

Defined Support Channels

Each programme has a dedicated study channel. Support is provided by the facilitation team during programme hours, not by bots or community volunteers.
