// the programme

AI-ready Product Engineer

One flagship programme: a three-week Selection Sprint, then 12–15 months across two modules. Learners build production systems in teams, review each other’s code and use AI as a working tool, while still having to understand, test and defend what they ship.

1

Technical

Fundamentals to production systems: back-end, system design, security, DevOps, AI-native development.

2

Meta

Feedback, teamwork, handling uncertainty, owning outcomes.

3

Product & business

User needs, requirements turned into solutions, trade-offs weighed.

4

AI usage

AI for coding, debugging and research, with the output checked critically.

// at the end

What learners take into the job market

// technicalBuilding and shipping complete products, from back-end systems to the user interface, with security and AI built in.
// professionalA portfolio of working projects. Breaking down requirements, estimating, documenting decisions, explaining work to technical and business audiences, and presenting their own value to employers, including what an earlier career adds.
// metaGiving and using feedback, owning outcomes, working through ambiguity, honest self-assessment, and knowing when to rely on AI and when to stop.
