Course overview

This hands-on bootcamp is designed for organisations that want a practical and realistic introduction to modern AI-assisted development. The programme covers frontier AI coding tools, local Large Language Model (LLM) setup, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), developer workflows, Docker, Git, remote development and an introduction to fine-tuning.

Rather than focusing only on theory, the training is structured around practical setup, guided labs and real-world build exercises. Participants will learn how to evaluate AI tools, install and configure local model environments, use coding agents productively, build chatbot prototypes and understand the infrastructure needed to support AI-enabled development.

This version of the programme is written in a deliverable-ready format so it can be shared with customers, agencies and internal approvers more easily.
