Learning is better with cohorts

Learning is better with cohorts

Go beyond the basics

Learning about AI for your real project is more important than theory of it.

Real world experience

I live with the content I am presenting everyday. Real world experience is coming from my own work at my current job - I am not an instructor or consultant.

Don't go it alone

Leadership is less lonely with a supportive community of peers. 


You will also join a peer community after the course for life long journey.
