Applied AI & Generative AI Foundation Program

A 36-hour practical AI learning journey covering AI concepts, prompt engineering, Python, data handling, ML basics, GenAI workflows, AI agents and capstone project development.

36 Hours
Online Classes
University students, fresh graduates and early professionals from technical and non-technical streams

Program Overview

The Applied AI & Generative AI Foundation Program is designed for learners who want to move beyond basic AI awareness and start building practical, industry-relevant skills. The program combines Generative AI, prompt engineering, Python, data handling, statistics, machine learning fundamentals, NLP, chatbots, AI agents, and automation through hands-on learning. Students work on guided labs, real-world use cases, and practical AI applications instead of learning concepts in isolation. The program also introduces responsible AI, verification, privacy, and ethical use, helping learners develop sound judgment while working with AI. By the end of the program, participants build a capstone project and practical AI portfolio that demonstrates their ability to apply AI to real academic, business, and industry problems.
