Short Courses
Targeted programs that take developers, engineering teams and whole organisations from talking about AI to building with it. Scoped to your team, delivered without pulling people offline.
program
Developers & CS graduates · 220 hours
A project-based program for developers who want to integrate AI into the products they ship, not just use it to write boilerplate.
Hands-on AI curriculum
Foundations to shipped MVP

the opportunity: a new era of software engineering
The market is evolving rapidly. As AI accelerates the pace of innovation, companies are preparing for an unprecedented explosion in technology development. The developers getting hired today are those ready to lead this new productivity wave—engineers who know how to build with AI, not just code.
The demand for software engineering is growing as AI unlocks new possibilities and business models. Companies are looking for developers who can harness these tools to scale their impact and drive the next generation of products.
Moving beyond using AI merely as an autocomplete tool, the real value lies in building the skill of designing and engineering AI-integrated products. It is about understanding how to leverage AI to solve complex problems and create sophisticated solutions.
Saying you ‘know AI’ isn’t enough in a high-growth market. Hiring managers want to see shipped, AI-native work that demonstrates your ability to integrate advanced tools into real-world applications. They are looking for builders who can match the innovation ramp-up.
the program
01
Sprint 1, AI Foundations & prompting enginering
Prompt engineering, AI-assisted debugging, architecture design and technical specification writing with modern AI models.
02
Sprint 2, Integration & Workflow Automation
Integrate AI into dev environments, automate code quality, generate multi-language code and build API prototypes from text.
03
Sprint 3, Build & Ship with AI
Design and deliver a complete MVP using AI as a development accelerator, run AI-assisted code reviews and lead an AI-enhanced hackathon.
why it works
Who this is for: developers and engineering teams who want to specialise in AI integration, and CS or IT graduates entering the market with a competitive edge.
program
Senior engineers · ~88 hours
A project-based program that takes engineering teams from AI-curious to shipping agentic systems. Remote, self-paced, zero operational disruption.
Two phases, one capstone
A real agentic system built inside your org
the challenge
Videos and quizzes teach concepts, not the muscle of shipping agentic systems under real constraints.
Pulling a whole team into a room for days is expensive, hard to schedule and stalls delivery.
Static curricula are out of date the moment they ship. Teams need patterns that hold as tools change.
the program
phase 1
LLM fundamentals and cost control through context engineering, specialised agents and MCP, finishing with a working audit agent.
phase 2
Compose agents into workflows, instrument agentic ops, tie work to ROI and ship a capstone, an auditable software factory in your org.

why it works
Who this is for: senior engineers and technical leads moving from using AI tools to building AI systems.
program
entire organisations · 8 hours
A structured, self-paced program for non-technical staff. No workshops, no scheduling disruption. Delivered and credentialled by Holberton Australia.
4 hours funndations plus 4 hours role pathway
From session one
the challenge
AI adoption is already happening. The risk is in how it’s happening. Most organisations already have staff using AI tools daily. Few have given them the structure to do it safely, consistently, or in line with their own governance.
available role pathways
A minority drive AI use while others stay untrained, widening capability gaps between functions.
Workshops and scheduled training need coordination and time managers can’t consistently spare.
Data exposure, quality failures and compliance gaps grow quietly when AI use outpaces internal policy.
the program
phase 1
How AI works, responsible use, data safety and organisational governance. The shared language every team needs.
phase 2
Each employee completes the pathway built for their function. Every module is a guided workplace project they can apply the same day.
why it works
Who this is for: non-technical staff across finance, ops, marketing, comms and beyond — anyone whose work is already touching AI.
