What is a Certified Graduate?
AI Makerspace Grads are Today's AI Forward-Deployed Engineers Leading the Way
Certified AI FDEs are normal people, just like you.
They hail different backgrounds, industries, and skillsets well beyond tech. Some currently work at at the most well-known companies in the world, and others simply live right next door and have regular day jobs. Some have started their next chapter, and others are still aspiring to do so.
Part of what AI Makerspace encourages you to embrace from Day 1 is your own personal career journey.

Dr. Dragos Crintea
I am on my second round through AI Makerspace training. After a few weeks in the program, it is definitely harder than last time. This says everything, always raising the bar and making sure when you graduate, you are well-equipped to tackle your company’s AI dreams or your own.
Keertana Chandar
AI Makerspace completely changed my relationship with both AI and online courses. Instead of just teaching me the basics of AI, this class helped me truly understand the 'behind the scenes', to the point where I feel confident using this knowledge in my job and sharing it with others. This has been the first online course where I’ve felt real growth!
Vincent Kienzler, Ph.D.
This is an amazing course. It is thorough, well thought through, and covers a wide range of topics and tools with a good depth. The team does a great job at keeping the student engaged, via homeworks and projects, and is always available for further discussion. I strongly recommend.
Robert H. Eubanks
The AI Engineer Class provided me with an exceptional learning experience that greatly enhanced my understanding of artificial intelligence and its practical applications. The course content was well-structured, engaging, and delivered by knowledgeable instructors who were passionate about the subject matter. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to gain valuable skills in the field of AI.
Milani McGraw
This is an amazing course! The curriculum is extremely comprehensive and I am walking out of this course with a handful of new skills that I can use in the future! The instructors are great, and no matter what you’re supported all around whether it be by your classmates, the peer supporters, or the instructors. I highly recommend this course to anyone.
