ERA - V4

Enrollments for ERA V3 closed on 10th October 2024. ERA4 is scheduled to be in July 2025.


This revamped 30-session course transforms students into full-stack AI engineers, blending foundational knowledge with cutting-edge tools and practical deployment skills. Unlike the previous version, which focused on core theory, this new curriculum integrates MLOps, CI/CD, and end-to-end deployment across various platforms, ensuring students are equipped for real-world applications.

By leveraging modern coding tools like Cursor and Clade dev, students accelerate their development, gaining hands-on experience from day one. The course emphasizes parallel learning in frontend, backend, and AI modeling, ensuring students develop the comprehensive skill set required to deploy scalable AI solutions.

From neural networks and LLMs to generative AI and deployment strategies, the curriculum reflects the latest industry trends. The capstone project allows students to apply their knowledge in practical scenarios, demonstrating their readiness for the fast-evolving world of AI.

Key features include: a Full-Stack Focus; Modern Toolsets; and Real-World Relevance!



ERA V3 started on 12th October and scheduled to finish in July 2025! ERA V4 Classes are scheduled to start in July 2025.
