The Forward-Deployed Engineer: The AI FDE Certification

This is my second time coming back to AIE courses! AI is moving super-fast and the community has been a great help keeping me staying at the forefront. Would definitely do another one to refresh my knowledge!

The Forward-Deployed Engineer: The AI FDE Certification

This course was the second one I've taken with AI Makerspace. The curriculum is updated and current but continues to reinforce the fundamentals of AI Engineering best practices. I appreciate how the material is set up to allow for gentle introductions to new material, and deep dives into more familiar topics. I cannot recommend this course enough and look forward to seeing how the course evolves in the future.

I took a previous version of this course a year ago (Cohort 5). I went in this year with a cocky attitude, like you know what, I have this under wraps. I was humiliated. And by that I mean the material is very good and the most up to date one I've seen. If you want to succeed in AI and be the best FDE out there this is course for it.

Amazing course that covers everything on AI Engineering -- from fundamentals to advanced topics. The course approaches AI Engineering through theory & practical with weekly tiered-assignments (tier as in there is a basic homework & optional "advanced" homework if you want to stretch yourself). Additionally, the whole course is set up really well logistically, with multiple office hours covering different timeslots in the week so students can be assured there's an office hours session they can drop by for help. The 2 Zoom sessions a week cover some pre-content, the actual content & then walks us through the weekly assignments. I appreciate the team also setting up the Zoom sessions in a way that encourages active discussion, both within your own breakout rooms & with external speakers they invited. I felt this was a really insightful setup as it encourages students to think critically & engage with other students & the content, as well as gain insights from folks in the industry & are practicing AI Engineering daily. Overall amazing course & can't thank Greg, Raul, Jan, Raphael & the team at AI Makerspace enough. It shows they've put a lot of effort into the programme. Thanks again guys, I had a blast these past 10 weeks.

I came in as a mobile tech lead with no production AI engineering experience. I finished with a live product in front of real users. The curriculum is dense and it moves. RAG, agents, evaluation, fine-tuning, MCP, production patterns. What made it stick was the weekly build requirement. You cannot pass by watching. The most valuable habit I picked up was reading traces instead of trusting scores. In my final session, 6 of 13 apparent failures were correct answers flagged wrong by a bad proxy metric. That lesson alone changed how I ship. Dr. Greg teaches from real production experience, not slides. Worth the 10 weeks.
