I was not sure what to expect with this course especially with the cost. However, I had attended a number of the AI Makerspace weekly webinars and watched a number of their videos as part of research. Having completed the course, these guys are the real deal. It was hard. But I learned so much, gained confidence in my knowledge and abilities, and now have a solid baseline to continue learning in this rapidly changing area.

AI Makerspace is where theory meets traction. It’s one thing to learn GenAI—another to actually build, ship, and share real solutions that create business impact. This program helped me do exactly that. If you want to lead real-world GenAI deployments—not just talk about it—this is the program to beat.

Vinod

Financial Economist

This course is not for the faint of heart or the casual hobbyist in AI Engineering! Make no mistake - it is a rigorous bootcamp. But for those with the strong desire to meaningfully upskill in this area, I can't think of a better way to spend 10 weeks.

Gerardo

Principal Engineer
Autodesk

I can't recommend this course enough. Dr. Greg and the Wiz create content that is challenging but well paced. Even if you are just getting into the ML/AI space, the support and encouragement will take you through the course without issues. You will learn state of the art techniques to build production ready applications end to end, and will gain a robust community of pears while doing it! What are you waiting for?... Get ready to Build, Ship and Share!

Michelle Boyer

The reactions from the team were overwhelmingly positive. They learned a lot and liked the way your Bootcamp is structured. Most importantly, they felt pride in completing the challenges... There was blood, sweat, and tears, but a huge sense of accomplishment! I will explore opportunities to work together in the future, so please keep me in the loop on what you're building over there.

Savrin Darash

Data Scientist

I'm amazed by the community, the product, and the value delivered to students. Most educational courses only give you knowledge but don't push you to build. AIM has perfected learning through building. I truly enjoyed every moment of this course.

Tsvetan Konov

Consultant

The community aspect of build ship share is great. [The AIE Bootcamp] really worth it just for that. Learning how to build is important in this day of age and it really helps doing it in a group setting.

Geeta Chaudhry

Engineering Mindset Coach

This is THE AI Engineering course to take. The team genuinely cares about your learning and they support you every step of the way. They know their stuff, and stay updated with everything that's going on. Couldn't have asked for better value for my money. Amazing!

Dave

Customer Engineer
Google

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. There's also a midterm and a final that are no joke.

Todd Deshane

CEO
Intersecto, LLC.

What a community that is being built from the ground up, on the cutting-edge, with enthusiasm. They have attracted a special group of practitioners and are selective in the process. At the intersection of data science, machine learning engineering, and MLOps comes the current future of LLMOps and building what’s next in this space.

Great course, awesome instructors, up-to-date and relevant material. You will get relevant skills to get you started in your AI Engineering career.

Peter

VP of Product
Class Technologies

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!

Aaron

Sr. Data Scientist
North Star Analytics

This is course is amazing! Chris and Greg were amazing at going through 17 builds and ways to deploy! My game has been raised! Thanks you guys and amazing peer supporters!

Monalisha Singh

Member of Technical Staff
NetApp

I didn't know what Google Colab was before I joined this course! I was so new to this domain. For an upcoming NetApp Hackathon I'm proposing to fine-tune LLMs, so you can see the difference 7 weeks has made! It was fun learning hands-on rather than textbook or 'strategy for AI implementation' stuff!

Benjamin Gibbons

This bootcamp was worth every dollar I invested. Although it was challenging to complete and earn the certification, the knowledge I gained was invaluable. I'm already applying what I learned in my current job, and the results speak for themselves. If you're serious about mastering AI, this program is a game-changer!

Colin Davis

Head Of Marketing

The AI Engineering bootcamp... has significant advantages for enterprise data teams. After having multiple team members complete the bootcamp, our approach to Generative AI projects has become more streamlined and effective, leading to faster prototyping. I strongly recommend this course to any data professional or team eager to upgrade their Gen AI skills and drive impactful innovation within their organization.

Charles Goddard

Senior Research Engineer
Creator of MergeKit

I saw a lot of great projects during Demo Day. I saw a lot of people solving real problems. Some really solid foundations were built up here. My advice, though, is to get weirder with it. Things are moving so fast that evaluating what's real and what's crazy is really difficult right now.

Mike

Professor of Pediatrics
University of Utah

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. ...resources were plentiful, and our cohort developed a camaraderie and I believe some long lasting future friendships. Highly recommended.

Cheselle Jan Roldan

I come from a non-technical background, so calling this course rigorous is an understatement. But after 10 weeks, I’ve gained a solid grasp of AI engineering skills and their underlying theories. I’ve also built at least 18 functional and useful AI apps (I lost count by Week 7). The founders structured the bootcamp so that anyone determined enough can keep up while actively gaining new skills.

André Fichel

CTO
Akad Seguros ex-Apple | ex-Amazon

I thought this cohort-based approach was the way to set accountability, and boy did you guys set a high bar! We had a very fast-paced 7 weeks, and the accountability did make it great. It all comes together at the end and makes sense.

Julien Thomazo

The AI Engineering bootcamp was extremely rich and of very high quality. In just a few weeks, I learned very practical skills on everything related to implementation, the RAG-based project, AI agents, and, of course, the implementation of performance metrics. 'Build, Ship, and Share' is a very effective philosophy for learning to master the subtleties inherent in implementing an AI project in 'real life'. Thanks to the Bootcamp, I am now able to take any idea and transform it into an AI-based prototype that is functional and efficient. So I highly recommend it!
