The gap

There is no AI Systems Architect curriculum.
So I built one.

The market is full of AI courses. They all teach the same thing. Call an API. Chain some prompts. Build a chatbot. Deploy to Vercel. Screenshot it for LinkedIn.

None of them teach you how to build AI systems that a CISO will approve, a general counsel will sign off, and a VP of Engineering won't lose sleep over.

I looked for this curriculum when I started building production AI systems for enterprises. It didn't exist. After 60+ systems for PwC and the most demanding companies, I built it myself.

The signed inventory of what the series ships.

One project carried across six courses. Every artifact is yours: the code, the deployment, the documentation.

The six courses

Each course adds a layer.
By E6, you have a running platform.

The same project carries across all six. Versioned API in E1. Trust layer in E2. Governance middleware in E3. Security hardening in E4. Context pipeline in E5. Full platform in E6.

Course E1 01
"Stop prompting. Start engineering."

AI Engineering Foundations

LLM API architecture. Prompt architecture (not "prompt engineering"). Tool use via MCP. The GRAIL Loop in code. Evaluation-first development. Your first production AI service.

See course →
29 lessons€197
Course E2 02
"AI will never say 'I don't know.' Your system must."

Trust Engineering

Self-consistency sampling. Conformal prediction (from CM's arXiv paper). TrustGate integration. Prediction set routing. Behavioral drift detection. The math that makes AI trustworthy.

See course →
30 lessons€197
Course E3 03
"Governance is not a feature. Governance is the platform."

Building Accountable AI Agents

The 4-layer AI OS architecture. 7 Platform Services: auth, guardrails, actions, context, gateway, monitor, audit. The Platform Protocol (~15 API calls). The system that escapes Pilot Purgatory.

26 lessons€197
Course E4 04
"Break your own systems before someone else does."

AI Security Engineering

12 attack dimensions from CM's 10,000-trial research. Prompt injection (direct, indirect, goal reframing). Red-teaming framework. Defense architecture. Guardrails implementation. The hardened system.

21 lessons€197
Course E5 05
"The document is the AI OS layer, engineered."

Context Architecture

The Context Pipeline: audit, classify, store, route, filter, serve. Permission-filtered context. Beyond RAG. Context Kubernetes for enterprise-scale knowledge orchestration. The discipline the industry just named.

Course E6 · Capstone 06
"Assemble the full platform. Ship it."

The Enterprise AI OS

Every component from E1-E5 assembled into one running platform. Add the missing layers (organizational agents, intelligence systems, desktop shell). Deploy with docker compose up. The capstone of the series.

The capstone build sequence

The capstone you finish in E6 is the project you started in E1.

Every course adds a layer. Nothing is thrown away.

E1
Foundation
Versioned prompts. Multi-model. MCP. GRAIL eval. Logging.
+ E2
+ Trust
Self-consistency. TrustGate. Reliability guarantees.
+ E3
+ Governance
7 services. Platform Protocol. ~15 APIs.
+ E4
+ Security
Guardrails. Agent Auth. Sandboxing. Red-team tested.
+ E5
+ Context
Multi-source. RAG. Context Router. RBAC.
= E6
Full Platform
All 4 layers. Org Agents. Intelligence. Desktop Shell.
// One commit history. Every artifact still in the repo at the end.
Backbone

Built on published research and open-source code. Not blog posts.

No other engineering curriculum is built on peer-reviewed papers, formal proofs, and open-source implementations.

FAQ

Before you ask.

The questions we hear most. If yours isn't here, email [email protected].

Why €797 vs €1,182 (6 × €197)?
The bundle is the recommended purchase path. The €385 saving reflects that the courses build on each other — buying them piecemeal forces you to backfill context. The bundle is also the only path with a 14-day conditional refund.
Can I take them out of order?
Not recommended. Each course adds a layer to the same project: the Enterprise AI OS you finish in E6 is the one you started in E1. Out-of-order works only if you're already a senior practitioner filling in specific gaps.
Is there live support or community?
The Engine Room (€29/month) is the practitioner community where Engineering Series students get questions answered. It's separate from the bundle. Some students join for the duration of the series and cancel after.
Where do I get the open-source code (arXiv repos)?
All six repos are linked from the relevant course pages. TrustGate, the security red-teaming kit, the context orchestration code, and the full Enterprise AI OS are Apache 2.0. Links are in the course materials and on the GitHub org.
What if I only want E2 + E5 (the research-anchored ones)?
Buy them separately at €197 each (€394 total) — cheaper than the bundle. You'll miss the assembly story but the two courses stand alone. If you're sure that's all you want, separate purchase is correct.
Time commitment for the full track?
120–180 hours across 6 courses. Self-paced. Most engineers finish in 4–6 months of evening / weekend work.
Can my company pay for this?
Yes. Engineering and platform teams approve the bundle routinely. Invoices issued. Email [email protected] subject 'Reimbursement.'
What's the refund policy?
14-day conditional refund on the €797 bundle. If you've completed less than 10% of the first course and you've found a real reason to refund, we honor it. After 14 days, no refund.
