Question 1

Do I need to know Python before starting?

Accepted Answer

You need basic Python — loops, functions, classes, and familiarity with the standard library. Phase 0 and Phase 1 are free, so you can test the pace before paying anything.

Question 2

Do I need a GPU?

Accepted Answer

No. Labs run on a modern laptop or in the browser via Pyodide. Deep learning labs use small CPU-friendly models. LLM labs use API-based models.

Question 3

How long does the full curriculum take?

Accepted Answer

Plan for 10–15 hours per phase. Most courses have 4–14 phases, so 40–210 hours per course. Most people working full-time complete a career track in 3–6 months. There is no time limit.

Question 4

What does Pro include?

Accepted Answer

Pro unlocks the full course library, the AI mentor, project submission, the full Defend Your Work scenario library, mock interviews, and portfolio publishing. Pro is $29/month or $279/year and can begin with a 3-day free trial that requires a card and charges when it ends unless you cancel. Cancel anytime.

Question 5

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You keep access until the end of your billing period. No cancellation fees.

Question 6

What jobs does this prepare me for?

Accepted Answer

The curriculum builds technical skills used in ML engineering, AI engineering, LLM systems, MLOps, and applied ML roles. It does not guarantee employment; learners should use completed projects and defense practice as evidence of what they can actually explain and build.

Question 7

Do you offer a certificate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Pro subscribers get a certificate of completion. But honestly, certificates do not get people hired — portfolio projects do.

Question 8

How does the AI mentor work?

Accepted Answer

The AI mentor is powered by Claude and is available 24/7 to Pro subscribers. It knows your progress — which lessons you have completed, which labs you are working on, and where you are stuck.
