FAQ

Common questions

Can't find what you're looking for? Ask directly →

01Do I need Python experience?

Basic Python is recommended — the course focuses on architecture, not syntax.

02Which LLM providers do you cover?

OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), and open-source models.

03Is this the same as the AI Product Management course?

No — this is hands-on engineering (building pipelines and agents); the PM course is scoping and strategy.

04Do I get a project I can show employers?

Yes — a working RAG or agent project is part of the curriculum.

05How much does this course cost?

₹12,999 for the 6-week Intermediate cohort, covering RAG, agents, evals and hands-on labs with OpenAI, Anthropic and open-source models.

06Is this worth it compared to free ChatGPT/prompting tutorials online?

Free tutorials mostly stop at prompting basics; this course covers RAG architecture, vector databases, evals and agentic workflows — the engineering that separates a demo from a production system.

07Do I need to already know machine learning?

No formal ML background is required, but basic Python is recommended since the course focuses on architecture and implementation, not ML theory.

08Is there a certificate?

Yes, plus a working RAG or agent project in your portfolio, which carries more weight with employers than the certificate alone.

09What if I fall behind during the cohort?

All sessions are recorded, and because each module ships a working artifact, you can rebuild any module at your own pace using the same starter code.

10What roles can this help me move into?

Graduates use this to move into applied AI engineering, add GenAI features to an existing product, or strengthen a technical founder's ability to build AI features in-house.

11Is this course just about using ChatGPT effectively?

No — it covers building applications, including RAG architecture and evaluation pipelines, well beyond effective personal prompting.

12Is prompt engineering just trial-and-error wording?

No — a rigorous approach involves systematic testing and version control, treating prompts as a genuine engineering artifact.

13Is there a hands-on capstone project?

Yes — a working GenAI application with a complete evaluation pipeline built throughout the course.

14Who typically enrolls in this course?

Developers building LLM applications, product-minded engineers exploring GenAI features, and professionals moving beyond casual AI usage.

15Does the capstone serve as a portfolio piece?

Yes — demonstrating a working application with proper evaluation, not just an impressive but superficial demo.

16Do I need prior machine learning theory background?

No — the focus is on practical application development, not training models from scratch.

17Do instructors have real production GenAI experience?

Yes — direct experience building production applications, not just familiarity with API documentation.

18Is the format live or self-paced?

A combination — live coding sessions and architecture discussions with self-paced material for foundational concepts.

19Are installment payment options available?

Yes — splitting tuition into installments is available for exactly that reason.

20Is there support after course completion?

Yes — an alumni community remains accessible for practical questions encountered while building applications on the job.

21Is the curriculum updated as models evolve?

Yes — reviewed regularly to reflect current model capabilities rather than teaching outdated techniques.

22Is group pricing available for companies?

Yes — for upskilling multiple engineers, with the option to adapt projects to the company's specific tech stack.

23Is the course available remotely?

Yes — with equivalent content and hands-on coding support quality in both remote and in-person formats.

24How does this differ from a general programming bootcamp?

LLM-specific depth and evaluation methodology are the core focus, adding genuinely new skills beyond general programming.

25What career outcomes are common after completing this course?

GenAI engineering roles, leading LLM initiatives within existing teams, or building AI-powered products as a founder.

26Does the course focus on impressive demos or production reliability?

Production reliability — the engineering judgment needed to ship applications that work consistently, not just impressive demos.

27Are AI ethics considerations addressed?

Yes — woven throughout as practical engineering decisions like bias handling and transparency, not a separate abstract topic.

28Can this course help with an application I'm already building?

Yes — many participants use their capstone to work through a real current project, receiving feedback with immediate practical application.

29Is support available for less experienced programmers?

Yes — additional foundational material and pairing opportunities support participants at varying experience levels.

30Is the course updated to reflect evolving model capabilities?

Yes, reviewed regularly to reflect current capabilities rather than outdated approaches.

31Are real case studies used in the curriculum?

Yes — anonymized real case studies of applications that succeeded and failed give concrete examples of what separated the two outcomes.

32Is technical debt management for GenAI applications covered?

Yes — practical approaches for managing outdated prompts and deprecated model versions, recognizing different maintenance patterns.

33Is there a minimum experience level required?

Some prior programming experience is recommended, though the course accommodates a range of backgrounds and experience levels.

34Can this be adapted to my company's specific tech stack?

Yes — while core concepts remain consistent, examples and the capstone can be tailored to your specific tech stack.

35Does the course shift thinking from capabilities to reliability?

Yes — a recurring shift from impressive capabilities to the reliability an application must consistently deliver.

36Is feedback available after the capstone presentation?

Yes — continued feedback helps participants refine their application further for interviews or portfolio publication.

37Is there a scholarship or discount for career changers?

Discounts get worked out case by case — a direct conversation is the fastest way to find out what's possible.

38Can I audit the course without completing the capstone?

Certification depends on completing the capstone — that's the piece where the skills actually get proven, not an optional add-on.

39Is the certificate recognized by employers?

The certificate demonstrates concrete, verifiable skill via the capstone portfolio rather than relying on name recognition alone.

40Can I retake modules if I need more practice?

Yes — recorded sessions and materials remain accessible after the course for revisiting specific modules.

41Can I get feedback on a project after the course ends?

Alumni community access allows continued informal feedback exchange with instructors and peers well after the formal course concludes.

42Are open-source and proprietary models both covered?

Yes — both are covered, with practical guidance on choosing between them based on cost, control, and specific use case requirements.
