How the curriculum is organised
One path, from how a model works to running one in production
Start at the beginning or jump to the part you need. It is the same path either way.
[Foundations Intermediate How a model actually works: tokens, embeddings, context, sampling, and how to talk to it. 2 modules·27 lessons·27 projects](https://engineerprep.io/review/lessons)[AI Application Engineering Intermediate → Advanced Building with it: structured output, retrieval, memory, and agents that call real tools. 4 modules·29 lessons·29 projects](https://engineerprep.io/review/lessons)[AI Systems Architecture Advanced Running it for real: evaluation, security, cost, reliability, and system design. 3 modules·17 lessons·17 projects](https://engineerprep.io/review/lessons)
Every module includes concept lessons · visual walkthroughs · production incidents · the AI mentor · scenario-based assessments
How you learn
One concept, several ways to actually get it
Example: how does an agent decide which tool to call? Learn it, watch it run, see it fail in production, then build it.
01 Learn the concept A focused three-minute chapter, no lecture.
02 Watch it run Tokens, retrieval and tools moving through the system.
03 See it break A real production incident, and why it happened.
04 Build it A guided project you implement end to end.
05 Ask mid-lesson Pause and ask the mentor, in the context you are in.
06 Prove it An applied assessment, and a certificate you can verify.
