Our certified AI FDEs are normal people, just like you. They hail from different backgrounds, industries, and skill sets well beyond tech. Some currently work 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.
These are the kinds of things that people who dedicate themselves to certification tell us...
"Amazing course."
"Passionate instructors."
"Changed my relationship with AI and online courses."
"Gained invaluable skills."
"I feel confident using this framework."
Our certification you walk away with is good for two years and the foundation you walk away with sets you apart. If you want to come back again to try the next level, you know what to do. Choose where you are, and let's build from there.
Hands down one of the best AI programs out there and truly one of the few that shows you how to *actually build* an AI-native product (i.e. not just string together a prototype using some prompt engineering and some off the shelf saas tools). Vibes for the live sessions are also fantastic!
This has been one of the best learning experiences in my life. The delivery, organization, hands-on work, motivation, and the community are all beyond compare. If you need to significantly level up your practical AI/LLM engineering skills, look no further.
I had to dedicate time. I had to present two projects per week. I had to present those projects like I was an expert. As projects and challenges proceeded, I started gaining more confidence. I can now explain to anyone who asks me how to build AI applications what to do. If you want to go through the 10 hardest weeks of your life, the return on investment for that will be huge.
I want to thank Dr. Greg, The Wiz, and the entire AIM team. None of my projects like PromptLab and OpenEvals would have been possible without the course and the Build, Ship, and Share mentality. Simply sharing what I’ve built on X helped the framework gain visibility from thought leaders in the Vercel AI SDK and Typescript developer communities, and opened doors for new opportunities. Taking this class has truly changed my life.
Spectacular amount of information delivered in ten weeks. Lectures are extremely well prepared, and the combined expertise of Dr. Greg and The Whiz works magically. This is NOT an easy bootcamp unless you are already an AI engineer. But resources were plentiful, and our cohort developed a camaraderie and I believe some long lasting future friendships. Highly recommended.
This is an incredible course. The content is top-notch, and everyone involved in delivering and supporting the course brings a level of expertise and enthusiasm that I have rarely seen. Be prepared to work hard, and having a development background is helpful, especially if it's with Python. Class time is 4 hours a week, with another 4 to 8 hours a week for homework. There's also a midterm and a final that are no joke. If you're serious about ramping up on the latest trends and techniques in AI engineering, this course is for you, but be prepared to work hard!
