Three courses. Full specifications below.
Duration, prerequisites, what is covered, how assignments work, and pricing — all written out so you can decide before contacting us.
Back to HomeHow the courses are run
Each course has a fixed syllabus, defined weekly sessions, and assignments that receive written code review. The three courses form a sequence — data engineering foundations, then transformer architecture, then systems engineering — but each can be taken on its own if the prerequisites are already met.
Assignments are not graded on a rubric. They receive written feedback covering whether the code is correct, readable, and defensible as an engineering choice. This takes longer than auto-grading and produces more useful information.
The Capstone Track adds a dedicated technical mentor, fortnightly architecture reviews with a second reviewer, and a closing technical presentation. It is structured as supervised independent work, not a sequence of lectures.
Python and Data Engineering for AI Work
The parts of Python and data engineering that model work depends on: vectorised numerical code, memory profiling, columnar formats, reproducible environments, dataset versioning, and writing pipelines that fail loudly rather than quietly. Written for analysts and backend developers preparing to move into model work.
- Weekly live sessions
- Nine assignments with written code review
- Dataset audit exercise on real Malaysian open data
- Environment reproducibility check on every submission
- Written assessment record at close
Transformer Architectures and Language Model Training
Attention, tokenisation, positional schemes, pretraining objectives, supervised fine-tuning, and evaluation of language models — implemented from the paper rather than from a wrapper library. Suited to engineers comfortable with PyTorch and calculus notation.
- Shared cluster access throughout
- Sixteen assignments with code review
- From-scratch transformer trained on a public corpus
- Evaluation harness the learner writes themselves
- Weekly paper-reading sessions
- Dataset licensing and consent session
- Public write-up at close
AI Systems Engineering Capstone Track
A supervised track for engineers building a substantial system: retrieval, serving, evaluation, monitoring, cost control, and an honest error analysis. Aimed at practitioners who already train models and now need the surrounding system to hold up under load.
- Dedicated technical mentor throughout
- Fortnightly architecture reviews with a second reviewer
- Cluster and inference budget throughout
- Written evaluation methodology (external critique)
- Defensive review of the learner's own system
- Model risk, provenance, and responsible deployment module
- Written incident post-mortem
- Closing technical presentation to invited engineers

Standards across all courses
Data protection
Learner data is handled under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010. Enrolment information is not shared with third parties for commercial use.
Code ownership
All code written during a course belongs to the learner. There are no platform licences or restrictions on what you do with work produced during the programme.
Honest scope statements
No claim is made about employment outcomes. Each course produces a defined set of work and a written record of what was completed. What that work leads to is the learner's to determine.
