Assessed Every Week, Not Just at the End

12 proctored assessments, one each weekend on that week's topics. You always know where you stand, and so does your mentor.

Every assessment, three parts

  • Part A: Multiple choice · 20%

    Conceptual and theoretical questions on the week's topics.

  • Part B: Practical challenge · 60%

    Hands-on coding, schema design or model building, based on the week's curriculum.

  • Part C: Code walkthrough · 20%

    A short viva or recorded screen explanation of the decisions behind your implementation.

Proctored online

  • Camera and Screen. Your webcam stays on and your whole screen is shared for the entire session.
  • Your Setup. One monitor, a quiet room, and an identity check before you start.
  • Academic Integrity. Zero tolerance for unauthorised AI help, plagiarism or switching tabs. A breach scores zero for that attempt.
  1. Every Weekend

    One assessment at the end of every week, on Saturday or Sunday, whichever you choose. Each runs 90 to 120 minutes, and attending is mandatory.

  2. Pass With 50%

    Score below 50% and you sit a re-evaluation within 48 hours, by Tuesday evening. The better of your two attempts counts.

  3. Two Misses Mean a Mentor Review

    Failing two weekly assessments in a row brings a mandatory review with your mentor, who looks at whether your track is the right fit.

  4. 70% for Your Certificate

    Pass every weekly assessment and keep an overall average of 70% or more to present your capstone and earn the internship certificate.

    Pathway project 3: a production AI service and open source

About This Programme

Twelve weeks, from first principles to production. Month 1 introduces AI and teaches Python, Git and GitHub, data processing with NumPy and pandas, and your first LLM API calls. Month 2 is applied AI: prompt engineering, embeddings, RAG, agents with LangGraph and FastAPI backends. Month 3 takes AI applications to production with Docker, security, monitoring and cost control, and makes you fluent with AI tools for coding, research and everyday work.

Each month ends in a deliverable a mentor reviews: an AI-powered text utility in Python; an AI knowledge assistant that answers from your own documents; and a deployed production AI capstone, alongside an AI productivity and automation suite.

You start from scratch, so no AI experience is needed, and you learn to check what AI tools produce instead of copying it.

Common Questions

Why do I pay for an internship?

Because most of what you get is training. Structured lessons, mentor time and code reviews cost money to run. The internship is where you apply that training on real project work.

Will I get a stipend?

No. This is a training internship: you pay for the training and mentorship, and you get real project experience in return.

Do you guarantee a job or placement?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. What you will have is reviewed work, a portfolio and the experience to talk about it in interviews.

How long is the internship?

Six months, one plan. The first twelve weeks are the internship curriculum: 24 live lectures, a proctored assessment every weekend and three reviewed deliverables ending in a capstone. Months four to six are the career pathway: deeper projects, open-source work and interview preparation with your mentor.

Is it online?

Yes. Lectures are live online, and the weekly assessments are proctored online with your camera on and your screen shared. Tasks, submissions, scores and reviews live in your student portal, so you can join from anywhere.

When does it start?

With the next batch. As soon as your payment is received, you're placed in it and your offer letter is emailed to you with your start date. Your plan's weeks count from the batch's start date, so you don't lose any time while you wait. New tasks unlock every week.

Are there any extra charges at checkout?

No. The price on the site is the full amount you pay, with no taxes or fees added at checkout. Your receipt arrives by email.

Can I get a refund?

Internships are a digital service, so payments aren't refundable once your place is confirmed. Read the plan details before paying, and ask us anything first. The refund and cancellation policy covers the exceptions, such as a duplicate payment.

How am I assessed?

Every weekend you sit a proctored assessment of 90 to 120 minutes on that week's topics: multiple choice (20%), a practical coding or architecture challenge (60%) and a short walkthrough of your code (20%). The pass mark is 50%. Below that, you get a re-evaluation within 48 hours, and the better attempt counts.

Do I get a certificate and a letter of recommendation?

Yes. You get your offer letter when you pay, and a Certificate of Internship and a Letter of Recommendation when you complete the programme. The certificate needs every weekly assessment passed with an overall average of 70% or more, which also qualifies you to present your capstone. Every document is issued in your student portal with a QR code anyone can scan to verify it.
