US-friendly weekend slot
Live mentor-led classes scheduled to suit US time zones alongside the India cohort. Exact hours confirmed per cohort.
US professionals
For Indian professionals in the United States
You already have the domain depth and the delivery experience. What is missing is AI engineering practice and a portfolio a US panel can interrogate. That is a 100-day problem, solved on weekends, without touching your day job.
The situation
The job description changed while you were delivering
If you moved to the US as a QA lead, automation engineer, SDET or delivery engineer, you have spent years becoming genuinely valuable inside a specific domain. Then the requisitions started asking for retrieval-augmented generation, agent orchestration and LLM evaluation, and the internal AI initiative went to people who had built a demo.
That is frustrating, but it is not a career problem. The domain depth is the part that cannot be acquired quickly. The AI engineering practice can be, provided you build real systems rather than watch someone else build them.
What changes in 100 days
- You can explain when an agent earns its cost and when deterministic code is better — with examples you built.
- You have a retrieval system with a real evaluation dataset, not a vector-store tutorial.
- You have traced agent cost and latency and can talk about the trade-offs you made.
- You have a guardrail and approval layer for actions that carry consequences.
- You have sat mock panels where an interviewer pushed back three follow-ups deep.

How people actually fit this in
Everything recorded
Sessions available within hours, with lifetime access. A late release or an on-call week costs you the live Q&A, not the module.
Asynchronous office hours
Doubt-clearing that does not require you to be awake at 2am. Questions get answered on your schedule.
Weekday practice, self-paced
5–10 hours of preparation you fit around your delivery commitments — the part that determines whether the weekends land.
Interview preparation
Calibrated for how US panels probe
American AI engineering interviews lean heavily on system design and on follow-up pressure. You will be asked to sketch an architecture, then defend it against changing constraints: the corpus is ten times bigger, the latency budget halved, the model provider is down, the compliance team objects to what leaves the boundary.
Week 15 is built for this. You practise AI system design with case-based reasoning, explain agent architectures, trade-offs and failure modes, and sit mock interviews with structured behavioural coaching. Your resume and LinkedIn are rewritten around systems and decisions rather than tools and tenure.

Questions
Questions from US-based professionals
Taking professional training is not employment and does not involve payment to you, so it does not by itself affect work authorisation. Two practical cautions: check your employment agreement about outside projects and intellectual property before you publish capstone code, and speak to a qualified immigration attorney for anything status-related. We are educators, not immigration counsel, and we will not pretend otherwise.
We strongly advise against it. Build against public or synthetic data so the portfolio is yours to publish and discuss freely. It also makes for a cleaner interview conversation, since you are not constantly redacting.
Ask yourself three questions. Have you built an evaluation harness with a golden dataset? Have you traced agent cost and latency in production and acted on it? Have you designed a guardrail layer for a customer-facing action? If any answer is no, there is substantial depth here. If all three are yes, tell admissions and they will advise honestly.
It is the most common concern and the honest answer is that it takes discipline. The US-friendly weekend slot is designed to avoid unreasonable hours, and everything is recorded. Learners who treat the recordings as the primary path and the live sessions as a bonus generally do fine; learners who fall behind on weekday practice do not.
Yes. Every recent cohort has had a US contingent, and the peer group matters — job-search conversations for the US market are quite different from the Indian market, and it helps to have people going through the same thing.
