Community of practitioners
cohortJoin a community of experienced engineers focussed on ML, AI product development and agentic coding. Things are changing rapidly and together we'll explore new ways of building new types of software.
AI training for software engineers
A machine learning apprenticeship for experienced software engineers and technical founders who want to transition into AI native software development and ship production AI systems.
52 in-person workshops
formatAll our training is in-person at our Old Street campus. You can find great content online. We add value by bringing motivated and experienced people together to spend time programming at the limits of our understanding.
Fully funded
fundingThe training cost is £22,000 per place and is funded through the apprenticeship levy. If your employer does not pay the levy, our partners will cover the full cost.
Expert-led
facultyOur training is delivered directly by Izaak (our CTO), who has 12 years of experience in engineering and has been running our AI programme for more than three years.
Projects tied to real work
outcomesModules are designed to seed useful work back into your job. Wherever the curriculum overlaps with your roadmap, you can prototype against real data and product problems.
Low disruption to your week
scheduleOne training afternoon a week is the only fixed time away. The rest of the week, you will be bringing new capability back to your team.
Reviews
The course balances academic theory with practical implementation. Both are fundamentally important, and Founders and Coders has done a brilliant job honouring both.
The apprenticeship has been transformational. It enabled me to earn an extra qualification while working and jump-start my research career in AI. Inspired by the programme, I'm now doing a PhD in a similar research area.
Get the right group of people together and give them the challenge of figuring out machine learning, and something remarkable happens.
You learn by building things, working with other apprentices who are equally motivated, and having access to instructors who actually know their stuff.
