How it works
Build, ship, get reviewed. Every single week.
The rhythm is the product: a live session, a project in your repo, and a review from someone who ships this for a living.
- 01
Learn live
Two focused live sessions a week with engineers who build AI systems for clients. Recorded, so you never fall behind.
- 02
Build every week
Each week ends in a working project in your own repo. No quizzes, no fill-in-the-blank notebooks.
- 03
Get reviewed
Instructors review your code and evals, the same way a senior engineer would in a real team.
- 04
Ship and show
Finish with a deployed capstone and a written case study you can put in front of an employer or your board.

Learners
Built by people who now ship AI at work.
“The evals week alone paid for the course. We caught a retrieval regression the day before a client demo.”
Ifeoma Adeyemi-ClarkeSenior Engineer, payments scale-up“Finally a course that treats agents as software, not magic. My capstone became our first production AI feature.”
Rhys PenhaligonTech Lead, logistics SaaS“Small cohort, real code review, instructors who actually ship. Completely different from video courses.”
Kasia WróblewskaML Engineer, health-tech“I went from experimenting with prompts to owning our AI roadmap in six weeks.”

Who teaches at ModelCraft Labs?
Working AI engineers and consultants from IT Expert Consultancy Services, who build LLM systems for clients. Every instructor ships production AI, not just slides.

How much time does a cohort take?
Between 3 and 8 hours a week depending on the course. Sessions are in the UK evening, with recordings and twice-weekly office hours across time zones.
What's your refund policy?
Attend the first week. If it isn't right for you, email us before the second live session for a full refund.
