★★★★★

The curriculum is very intense and consistent, with topics building on each other and reinforced through practical exercises that require knowledge of the previous material. The program can be roughly divided into two parts. The first part covers the classical applications of ML and LLMs, such as LLMs with tools, RAGs, data filtering, embeddings into vector databases, LLM evaluation, LLMOps, and more. The second part is more advanced, focusing on model architectures, fine-tuning, and model compression. Recently, there was an AI/IT conference in my country featuring lectures on AI and LLM applications. Looking at the program, I thought: “Come on, I know and have practiced every single topic!” Besides the strong learning experience, the Hyperskill team also helps you polish your CV and prepare for interviews. Hard study, but a wonderful experience!

Bootcamp graduate
★★★★★

The bootcamp lasted about 10 weeks, and during that time I was able to carry out and complete many projects. The modules were well-structured, and the sprint-based workflow was well-organized and enjoyable. The frameworks used are closely aligned with current market trends, which makes the program very interesting. I found the variety of products and the focus on operating an AI application to be particularly effective.

Bootcamp graduate
★★★★★

I had a very positive experience with Hyperskill’s AI Engineering Bootcamp. The program is well-structured, practical, and high quality overall. The good news is that the curriculum gave me a solid roadmap, a lot of high-quality material to keep studying in depth, and several new ideas for my own projects/startup. It also reinforced that transitioning toward an AI Engineering profile is realistic and achievable.
