Course overview

Become the AI Engineer that every company needs

Future-proof your career with AI engineering. Design, assemble, and operate production LLM applications with industry-standard tools.

Data science and ML skills that were relevant just a few years ago are being outpaced by AI. It is now possible to build what used to take months in a single day!

This course is designed to help you think at the right level of abstraction about AI, and to write code that will help you prototype and ship production LLM applications at the leading edge.

Who is this course for

Advanced developers with an understanding of fundamental ML concepts and the product development process

Experienced data scientists or machine learning engineers who want to build production LLM applications

Software engineers who want to get up to speed on Generative AI and explore new career opportunities

What people are saying

Cannot recommend the instructors ENOUGH when it comes to building, shipping, and sharing LLM applications. They inspire a hands-on mentality and are thoughtful and responsive to feedback and requests. They are amazing people to have in your network and were instrumental in helping me switch careers from structural engineering to Generative AI!"

Pano Evangeliou, M.Sc.

Senior AI Engineer

My journey with LLM Ops has been transformative! The hands-on ethos, engaging community sessions, and guidance from instructors demystified LLMs for me, making app dev accessible and enjoyable. This course fueled my confidence, empowered me to bring a passion project to life, and grew my network of LLM practitioners. An inspirational adventure!

Yi Lin

Associate Manager, Digital, Analytics, and Technology

More than a course this is an experience. Under the expert guidance of the instructors I found myself going deep into ML, understanding theory, code, and application like never before. Beyond knowledge, it's about community. If you are planning to attend a live course on AI/ML, I recommend AI Makerspace as the best place to get that education.

Juan Olano

Founder, Senior AI Engineer

Dedicated to the craft. What a team of instructors! What a community that is being built from the ground, on the cutting-edge, with enthusiasm. They have attracted a special group of practitioners and are selective in the process. At the intersection of data science, machine learning engineering, and MLOps comes the current future of LLMOps.
