AI Academy

AI Engineer Bootcamp

24 weeks — 12 weeks of coursework plus a 12-week industry project. From your first API call to a system in production, you build one delivery chain that can be observed, evaluated and iterated on.

Highlights

12 weeks of structured teaching plus a 12-week real company project you can put on a résumé

Every module ends in something that runs AND something that measures it — not a demo that worked once

Taught by working North American AI engineers; résumé review, mock interviews, referral network


Curriculum
1

1 · LLM engineering foundations: transformer intuition, tokenizers and context budgets, structured output, function calling

2

2 · Prompting and evaluation: system prompts, few-shot and chain-of-thought, turning a hunch into a measured score

3

3 · Retrieval-augmented generation: chunking, embeddings, choosing a vector store, hybrid search and reranking, citations

4

4 · Agents and the tool loop: ReAct, tool calling, task decomposition, retries and multi-agent coordination

5

5 · Memory and context engineering: session vs long-term memory, context compression, token cost control

6

6 · Model choice and fine-tuning: deciding whether to fine-tune at all, then LoRA and instruction tuning

7

7 · Shipping: inference serving, streaming responses, auth and rate limits, multi-tenancy, staged rollout

8

8 · Observability and cost: logs, tracing, evaluation dashboards, cost per request

9

9 · Safety and boundaries: prompt-injection defence, data leakage, output review

10

10–12 · Industry project: real requirements, architecture review, iterative delivery, Demo Day

11

Job sprint: rewriting your résumé around projects, AI system-design interviews, mock interviews and referrals
