Programme Format / Learning Design
Each of the 12 weeks follows the same structure:
- Self-Study (3 hours, before class): Video content, reading, and a short individual task to prepare you for the session
- Classroom Workshop (3 hours): Interactive, output-focused sessions, not lectures. Every week produces a tangible deliverable
- Running Project: From Week 4 onwards, all work feeds into your personal “Golden Use Case”, a real AI initiative you’ll pitch at the Capstone Finale in Week 12
