Every deliverable, in one list

The same list, without the categories.

Weekly one-on-one call

45-60 minutes, same slot, every week. Your mentor sets the agenda from your written plan, not from a template.

Async code review

You push work and get written feedback within two working days. Reviews are specific to your code, not generic advice.

Roadmap that gets updated

Your 12-month plan is revised as the AI job market moves. If a technology is no longer what companies ask for, it comes out.

Mock interviews

Timed the way the real loop is timed, on the real question sets for your target companies, from month eight onward.

Resume and LinkedIn work

Rewritten around evidence you can defend. We remove the adjectives and keep the numbers.

Referrals where we have them

We introduce you to companies where we have a real relationship. Where we do not, we say so rather than pretending.

Six months of tracking

We keep tracking you for six months after the program ends, because the offer you want sometimes arrives just after it.

Direct line between calls

Questions between calls go to the same mentor who already has context on your work. No ticket queue.

Not included

We would rather be clear about this now than at month eleven.

  • Guaranteed job offers. We refer and we coach, but nobody can guarantee a hiring decision.
  • Paid referrals or bought interviews. We do not do this and we do not work with anyone who does.
  • Test-fee waivers. Those are set by the company, not by us.
  • Your mentor's undivided time outside the agreed weekly slot and async review window.
  • A certificate in place of evidence. The reviewed projects and the interviews are the point.

The honest version

This works if you show up and do the work between calls. A mentor can make your work better and keep you honest about it, but they cannot do it for you.

The students who get offers are the ones shipping projects every fortnight and treating review comments as instructions rather than opinions. That is the whole mechanism.

Questions

Why 12-14 months instead of a shorter bootcamp?

Because hiring cycles for AI roles are slow and interview preparation takes months of accumulated practice. A three-month program can teach you the material, but it rarely leaves room for the reviewed work and repeated mock interviews that actually get you through a loop. Twelve months matches the cycle.

Is it really the same mentor the whole time?

Yes. One mentor, start to finish, with one direct line for code review. Switching mentors mid-program means re-explaining your context, which is exactly the overhead this is meant to remove.

What if my mentor is not a good fit?

Tell us and we rematch you at no cost, or refund the mentorship portion. We would rather change the match than have you spend a year talking to someone whose advice does not land.

Can I keep my mentor after the program ends?

Yes, as a separate arrangement with your mentor directly. Several students do this while they are in their first job. It is not part of the program fee, so agree it separately rather than assuming it is included.

How much time does it really take?

Roughly 8-12 hours a week: the weekly call, your module work, and the project you are building. Front-loaded months are lighter than the placement phase, which is heavier because mock interviews are demanding.

Is this suitable if I am in second year?

Yes, and it is the ideal time. The foundations phase covers exactly what your placement season has not taught you yet, and you will be interview-ready by the time companies start recruiting for final-year placements.
