How it's different

  • Design-thinking led: you learn to frame the problem before you build.
  • The full delivery lifecycle: functional analysis, design, PoC, deploy, and handover, owned end to end.
  • A customer-panel capstone: defend a bespoke solution to a simulated customer, played by industry experts.
  • You leave with the FDE Playbook: discovery templates, an architecture decision-tree, eval harnesses, and a handover pack.

What you get

  • A portfolio of deployed, defended solutions, built against a realistic messy-enterprise sandbox.
  • The FDE Playbook you can use on day one of the real role.
  • 4 weekend masterclasses with practitioners, plus AI mock solutioning interviews.
  • Certification-ready coursework (cloud + AI credentials) and a delivery-pod cohort network.

AI for Forward Deployed Engineers

From engineer to the person who ships AI solutions with customers, end to end.

Diploma 8 weeks Intermediate → Advanced Engineers & solution builders moving into AI delivery / FDE roles

The hottest role in AI right now is the Forward Deployed Engineer: the person who sits with a customer and turns an AI ambition into a working, deployed solution. FDE AI builds exactly that muscle.

It shares the Applied AI core (LLMs, RAG, agents, evaluation, production) but re-weights hard toward the parts that make value land in the real world: design thinking, customer discovery, integration, deployment in customer environments, and handover.

You own the full lifecycle: frame the problem, design the solution, build a PoC, integrate it, deploy it, prove it, and hand it over. You finish by defending a bespoke solution to a simulated customer panel.
