Why Applied AI Engineering
Don’t just learn to use AI. Learn to build with it.
🔧
You learn the technology, not the tools
Anyone can be shown where the prompt box is. This teaches how the application around the model is built — the API calls, the retrieval, the state, the deployment.
🏗️
You build the whole way through
Every week ends in something that runs. By week sixteen you have eight working projects and a deployed product, not sixteen sets of notes.
👤
It is taught to you, not at you
One student, one engineer, one live session. The curriculum bends around what you already know and what you actually want to build.
Who is this for?
Built for people starting from scratch.

How it actually runs
One mentor, start to finish.
Every session is live and one-to-one. You build real applications alongside your mentor, at the pace that suits you, with the same person from your first line of Python to your final deployed project.
Live 1-on-1 sessions
Your own pace
Real deployed projects
Same mentor throughout
Curriculum
16 weeks. One complete AI engineering journey.
Projects
You don’t just learn. You build.
By the end of the program your portfolio contains multiple practical projects instead of a certificate alone.

The 1-on-1 advantage
Learn AI your way.
Everyone starts from a different place. That is why Applied AI Engineering is taught one-to-one.
⏱️
Personalised pace
Move faster through concepts you already understand and spend longer where you need the help.
🧩
Personalised projects
Build around your own interests, career goals or business ideas rather than someone else’s demo.
🛠️
Live problem solving
Do not get stuck watching a tutorial. Ask the question and solve the problem together, in the session.
📝
Individual feedback
Direct feedback on your code, your projects and the way you approach a build.
🧭
Mentorship
Go past tutorials and learn how real AI applications are actually designed and built.
The difference
This isn’t another “AI tools” course.
Learn the technology behind AI applications — not just how to use AI tools.

Questions
Before you book
Do I need to know Python before starting?
No. The program starts from the fundamentals and assumes you have never written code.
Do I need an AI background?
No. Week one covers what AI actually is before you touch a model.
Is this a recorded course?
No. Every session is personalised one-to-one instruction with an engineer.
How much does it cost?
Sessions start at $25 an hour, with higher tiers for students who want additional mentorship and support. A typical sixteen-week program runs about 32 sessions, so roughly $800 in total at the Standard rate. Prices are a starting guide and can be adjusted — talk to us.
How long does the program take?
The structured curriculum is designed for sixteen weeks. The exact number of sessions varies with your pace and goals.
What if I need more time?
Additional sessions can be booked as needed, at the same hourly rate.
Will I build real projects?
Yes. The curriculum is project-driven and finishes with a deployed AI application of your own.
Will I learn AI agents?
Yes. Agent development is a major part of the second half of the curriculum.
Will I learn automation?
Yes. You will work with APIs, workflows, webhooks and AI-powered automation in n8n.
Can I take the course if I am a complete beginner?
Yes. It is specifically designed to take students from the fundamentals toward applied AI development.
Will this make me an AI engineer?
The course gives you a practical foundation in applied AI engineering. It is not a job guarantee or an expert-level qualification, and you are expected to keep learning and specialising afterwards.
Ready to start building with AI?
Your AI journey does not have to start with years of programming experience. Start with the fundamentals, build real projects, and develop the skills to create intelligent applications.
