Common questions

Who is this actually for?

Senior-leaning software, data, and AI engineers who have shipped production systems and want to move into customer-embedded roles. If you have never deployed and operated something real, take the diagnostic first, it will tell you honestly.

What is the difference between the certificates?

Core issues a Certificate of Completion once you finish the lessons and submit all five capstones. Accelerator and Career Track issue a Verified Certificate, which requires an instructor to review and approve every capstone repository. Both are publicly verifiable by serial.

How does the refund work?

Enrol in Core or Accelerator, complete Module 1, and if the material is not worth it, email us within 14 days for a full refund. No forms, no retention call.

Do I need to be available at specific times?

Core is entirely self-paced. Accelerator runs an 8-week cohort with weekly workshops that are recorded, so you can participate asynchronously if a session clashes.
