Who is this program for?

For anyone who wants to use AI professionallyโ€”whether you're an employee, an entrepreneur, or a specialist.

CAREER CHANGER

You work with digital tools every day and have noticed that AI is having an increasing impact on your field. This course will give you the practical knowledge you need to apply AI directly in your workโ€”from content creation and automation to building smart workflows.

IT PROFESSIONAL

You want to use AI strategically to improve business processes and gain a competitive advantage. Youโ€™ll not only learn to understand the possibilities of AI, but also build functional applications and automations yourself.

STARTER

You want to work in one of todayโ€™s fastest-growing sectors. With 427 hours of hands-on training, a strong portfolio of AI projects, and broad applicability across virtually every field, youโ€™ll enter the job market with a profile that employers are actively seeking.

What will you learn?

You'll work directly with the latest AI tools and build applications that you can put to use as early as tomorrowโ€”developed with and validated by industry experts.
AI FUNDAMENTALS & LANGUAGE MODELS

You'll build a solid foundation in how AI works: from machine learning and computer vision to natural language processing. You'll learn how language models understand and generate text, how Transformer architecture works, and how to build and deploy conversational AI systems.

IMAGE, VIDEO & CODE

You'll learn how to use AI tools to generate and edit visual contentโ€”from text-to-image and video generation to correcting and enhancing existing images. You'll work with diffusion models, GANs, and prompt engineering, and learn how to generate and optimize AI-powered code.

AUTOMATION & AI AGENTS

You'll build powerful automations using AI: from bots and RPA workflows to fully autonomous agents. You'll integrate APIs and microservices, learn web scraping and data collection, and apply Python to advanced automation tasksโ€”all of which you can put to use right away in your work environment.

AI APPLICATIONS & FINAL PROJECT

You'll learn how to detect and respond to security incidents in AWS and Azureโ€”from IAM misconfigurations to container security. You'll also use AI tools to write queries faster, summarize incidents, and generate reports that are ready for management.

Structure of the Program

5 modules, 427 hours. The program covers everything from the fundamentals of AI to building fully-fledged AI applications and autonomous agents. The curriculum is continuously updated to reflect the latest developments in AI.
INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD OF AI

Youโ€™ll be introduced to the world of Artificial Intelligence: its history, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, and basic algorithms. This module provides you with the foundation you need to understand and immediately apply all subsequent modules. Duration: 14 hours.

NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING

Youโ€™ll dive deep into how AI understands and generates language. Youโ€™ll work with text processing, tagging, word embeddings, sentiment analysis, and Transformer architecture. Youโ€™ll learn how language models work from the inside outโ€”and how to use them for translation, content generation, and conversational systems. Duration: 84 hours.

IMAGE, VIDEO, AND CODE GENERATORS

The largest module of the program. Youโ€™ll learn to work with image processing, object detection, GANs, and diffusion models for generating images and video. Youโ€™ll apply prompt engineering to text-to-image workflows and learn to generate, debug, and optimize AI-powered code. Duration: 180 hours.

AUTOMATION, INTEGRATIONS & DEVELOPMENT

You'll build functional AI automations: from bots and RPA workflows to API integrations and cloud deployment. You'll write Python scripts for advanced automation, apply web scraping, and learn how to build AI systems that are secure and scalable. Duration: 72 hours.

VIDEO + IMAGE PROJECT & AI FINAL PROJECT

Youโ€™ll wrap up with two final projects. First, a creative media project: generative media production, text-to-video workflows, and visual post-processing. Next, the AI system final project: a complete full-stack AI application with multi-model integration and autonomous agent deployment. Duration: 77 hours.

What should you include on your resume?

Upon completion, you will have the following demonstrable skills:

  • AI Fundamentals: Machine Learning, NLP, and Computer Vision
  • Language Models: Transformer Architecture, Sentiment Analysis, Conversational AI
  • Generative AI: image and video generation, prompt engineering, diffusion models
  • Automation: bots, RPA, API integrations, Python, cloud deployment
  • AI Application Development: Full-Stack AI, Multi-Model Systems, Autonomous Agents
  • Can be applied directly in virtually any field or business process
  • Pathway to advanced AI and development programs

AI is no longer a thing of the future. After completing this course, you'll be putting it into practice tomorrow.
