AI Applications Pathway: Python and SQL to secure deployment

Seven courses from your first Python script to an AI application you can defend in review: Python, SQL, APIs, data preparation, retrieval-based applications, evaluation, and secure deployment and monitoring. Most of the work is done in an editor on your own machine; one course includes a hosted lab.

Before you start

Is this path for you?

An AI application is ordinary software with one unusual property: it can be confidently wrong. This path teaches the ordinary software first — Python, SQL, APIs and data preparation — and then the part that is specific to this work: building retrieval over your own data, measuring whether the answers are any good, and deploying the result without leaking the data it reads. It ends on evaluation and monitoring rather than on a demo. 70 lessons, about 105 hours of lesson content, with graded checks throughout.

Who it is for

  • Career changers starting with no programming background
  • Developers adding retrieval, evaluation and AI deployment to what they already build
  • Analysts and data staff moving toward building applications
  • Technical staff asked to put an AI feature into production and answer for it

What you should know

  • Comfortable using a computer and a web browser
  • No prior programming, SQL or AI experience is assumed

What you will need

  • A computer you can install software on — you will work in your own editor and terminal
  • A stable internet connection
  • One course provides a hosted lab machine; the rest run locally on your computer
  • Model API keys are not included; the courses use providers with a free tier where one exists

Before you decide

What we will not promise

  • A job, a salary, or an employer introduction. We teach and we let you practise; we do not place people.
  • Accreditation. An Ultiblob certificate records what you completed here. It is not an industry certification.
  • Statistics we have not measured. You will not find completion rates, placement rates or student counts on this site until they exist and are audited.

We would rather lose you here than mislead you.
