Frontier-model training, taught live

The AI Academy

Everyone has watched the demos. Far fewer teams have shipped anything. We teach the part in between — on Claude Code, ChatGPT, Grok and open-weight models — in workshops built around your codebase, your data and your syllabus.

Tracks

Pick the model you actually build on

Each track is taught against a real repository, not a slide deck. Start with the tool your team already uses, or take two and compare them honestly.

Formats

A day, a fortnight, or a full cohort

The same material, delivered at the intensity that fits. Every format ends with something running that you built yourself.

Compare formats
Individuals and small teams

1-Day Intensive

One day · 6 hours live

One track, one day, one working artefact. We spend the morning on the mental model and the afternoon building, and nobody leaves without something running on their own machine.

Teams adopting a new stack

2-Day Deep Dive

Two days · 12 hours live

Day one covers the ground the intensive covers. Day two applies it to your codebase, your data and your constraints, with time set aside for the problems that only appear in your environment.

Working professionals and students

4-Week Evening Cohort

Four weeks · two evenings a week

Spaced practice beats a single long day when you want the material to stick. Two live evenings a week, a project that grows across the four weeks, and a cohort channel that stays active between sessions.

University groups and career changers

Student Programme

Scoped to your syllabus

Built around what your course actually requires. Send us the module outline, assessment criteria or dissertation brief and we shape the sessions and the final project to match, at student rates.

Engineering and operations teams

Private Team Workshop

One to five days · on-site or remote

A curriculum written after we've read your code and talked to your engineers. Your repository, your data, your deployment target — and the awkward internal constraints that generic training always skips.

Certifications

Credentials you can defend in an interview

Practical briefs, reviewed by a working engineer and discussed live. No multiple-choice paper, and every credential records the model generation it was assessed against.

All certifications
ProfessionalCertified Claude Code EngineerDemonstrates you can direct an agent through real engineering work in a codebase you didn't write, and review its output to a standard you'd defend in a pull request.ExpertCertified Agent EngineerThe senior credential. Design, build, evaluate and operate a multi-tool agent — including the failure handling and cost controls that separate a demo from a system.AssociateCertified LLM Application DeveloperThe foundation credential: a working retrieval-backed application with typed outputs, sensible cost controls and a test suite that proves it behaves.ProfessionalCertified Open-Weight PractitionerFor engineers who own their inference stack: deploy, quantise, fine-tune and cost a self-hosted model, and prove the quality trade-offs you made.
For teams

Or we build the first one with you

Training gets a team ready. Sometimes you also need the first system in production. We run those engagements alongside your engineers, and hand it over so it doesn't leave with us.

How engagements work

Internal business apps

The tools your team keeps asking for and nobody has time to build — document handling, reporting and the spreadsheet that has quietly become critical infrastructure.

Automated agents

Agents scoped to a job with a clear boundary, a clear escalation path and enough tracing that you can explain any individual decision afterwards.

Integration into what you run

Nothing useful lives in isolation. We connect the system to your existing services through MCP or plain APIs, with authentication and permissions handled properly.

Handover, not dependency

We build alongside your engineers and train them as we go. The engagement ends with your team owning the system, the tests and the runbook.

Questions, answered

Do I need to be a developer?

For the Claude Code, Open Source Models and Agentic Systems tracks, yes — you should be comfortable in a terminal. The ChatGPT and Grok tracks have a route through for technical product people who can read code but don't write it daily.

Can you tailor a workshop to my course or my team?

That's the most common request. Send us your syllabus, module outline or a description of your stack, and we write the sessions and the final project around it. Students and university groups get their own rates.

Are sessions live or recorded?

Live, always — the value is in the questions and the debugging. Cohort sessions are recorded for participants, but the workshops are deliberately small enough that everyone gets attention.

What makes a certification here worth anything?

Each one is a practical brief with a live defence. You build something, a working engineer reviews it, and you talk it through. A credential you can't explain isn't one we'll issue.

The models change every few months. Does the material?

The tool-specific material is revised every cycle and the certifications record the model generation they were assessed against. The durable parts — tool design, context management, evaluation — change far more slowly, which is why they're weighted heavily.

Can you build the thing as well as teach it?

Yes. Build engagements run discovery, prototype, production and handover, with your engineers pairing throughout so the system doesn't leave with us.

Tell us what your team needs to ship

Send us the stack, the syllabus or the problem. We'll come back with a format, a curriculum outline and a date — usually within two working days.
