Scoping call
Thirty minutes to place your level. One call in five ends with us recommending nothing.
What you get
Six things a cycle gives you that a course does not.
Each one costs us something to run. That is how you can tell they are real.
- 01
Every assignment is marked by hand
The person who wrote the module reads your submission and writes back about the work, not a grade. It is the most expensive thing we do, and the reason people finish.
94%of learners complete the cycle. The sector average sits near 13 %.
- 02
Instructors who do the job today
Every track is written by someone in practice. When the work changes, the module changes, because the person teaching it hit that change at work first.
61practitioners teaching. None of them teaches full time.
- 03
Cohorts capped at thirty
Above that, marking quality falls and the forum stops being a place where people admit they are stuck. We run more cohorts rather than larger ones.
30places per cohort, fixed. The calendar is published before enrolment opens.
- 04
A project on real data
A brief from a partner company, or your own if you have one. Real constraints, real mess, a stakeholder who wants something specific. No invented exercise at the end.
1brief per learner, defended in front of two practitioners.
- 05
A certificate that names the work
It records the brief that was assessed and who reviewed it, not the hours you attended. Anyone reading it can see what you actually did.
2reviewers sign it: one technical, one from governance.
- 06
A mentor call every month
Thirty minutes with a lead instructor, on your own work or your own job. Most people use it to decide what not to build next.
12calls a year on the full cycle. Booked from your account, no email chain.

Three ways to learn this.
Only one reads your code.
None of these is wrong. They are built for different people, and the table says which one is built for you.

In practice
The full method
How it fits into eleven weeks
Taught weeks
Four hours a week, one marked assignment every fortnight.
Project and review
A real brief, defended in front of two practitioners.
“I had shipped models before but never had anyone read my evaluation code line by line. That single habit changed how our whole team ships now.”
Before you decide
Questions people ask on the scoping call
Four hours, arranged how you like. Two are taught, two are your own work on the assignment. People who hold a full-time job finish at the same rate as people who do not.
Not for the introductory programmes. The advanced cycles have prerequisites, and the scoping call exists to check them and point you at an intermediate programme first if needed.
You tell your instructor. The calendar does not move, but an assignment can be handed in late once per cycle without penalty, and a module in progress stays open thirty days after a cancellation.
Yes, before the third week. After that the assignments diverge too much. The scoping call is designed to make this rare.
Yes. Taught sessions are live and recorded. Cohorts are spread across time zones, and the London sessions are the only ones that ever meet in a room.
Yes. We issue an agreement and an invoice in the company name, and your finance team deals with us directly.

Start on the free tier, or talk to the instructor who wrote the track first. Either way, nothing is charged for thirty days you cannot get back.
