Three Tracks, Different Schedules

Each track covers a defined scope, runs for a set number of weeks, and ends with a written record of topics completed. No outcomes are assumed — the record states what was covered.

What Sets the Approach Apart

Each element of how we work is chosen because it affects how much learners retain and how readily they apply it in their own context.

Terraced Curriculum Design

Each topic builds directly on what came before. Nothing is introduced until the preceding concept has been applied in an exercise.

Schedules Built Around Real Life

Weekend and weekday tracks are designed for different life circumstances. You do not need to leave your job or relocate to attend.

Written Feedback on Exercises

Instructors review exercises and respond in writing. Feedback is specific to your submission, not generic notes on the topic.

Small Cohorts

Individual tracks are kept small so that instructor time is distributed. Team programmes are sized for teams of six to fifteen.

Completion Records, Not Diplomas

We issue a written record stating which topics were covered and what exercises were submitted. We do not issue certificates or credentials.

Applied to Real Problems

For team programmes, exercises are drawn from the employer's actual stack and internal problems — not synthetic datasets disconnected from the team's context.

Frequently Asked Questions

What background is needed to join the Weekend Entry Track?

The Weekend Entry Track starts from Python basics and assumes no prior machine learning knowledge. Comfort with spreadsheets and a willingness to read documentation are enough to begin.

Do I need to attend sessions in person?

Saturday sessions on the Weekend Entry Track and daily standups on the Weekday Intensive Track are delivered live online. Recordings are made available after each session. The Team Upskilling Programme can be delivered at your office or online — this is agreed during the curriculum design workshop.

How many hours per week does each track require?

The Weekend Entry Track runs at six to eight hours per week across Saturday sessions and weekday exercises. The Weekday Intensive runs at approximately thirty hours per week. The Team Upskilling Programme runs two sessions weekly of roughly three hours each, with additional exercise time between sessions.

What do I receive at the end of a track?

Each track ends with a written completion record listing the topics covered and the exercises submitted. For the Weekday Intensive, the portfolio project is attached to the record. For Team Upskilling, each participant receives an individual capability summary. These are internal documents — they are not recognised credentials or qualifications issued by any accrediting body.

How is pricing structured for the Team Upskilling Programme?

The listed price of RM 4,620 covers a team of six to fifteen participants for sixteen weeks with two sessions weekly. The curriculum design workshop and two post-programme follow-up clinics are included. For teams outside this range, send an enquiry and we will discuss what fits.

Is there a refund policy if I need to withdraw?

Withdrawal and refund terms are set out in the enrolment agreement provided before payment. We ask that you read this before confirming a place. If you have specific concerns about flexibility, include them in your enquiry and we will address them directly.

How is personal data handled?

Information submitted through enquiry forms is used to respond to your enquiry and, if you enrol, to administer your place on the track. We do not share personal data with third parties for marketing. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
