I For builders new to ML

The discipline beneath the algorithms.

Most people learn AI as a stack of tools. This track teaches the mathematics and reasoning underneath — so when the tools change, your understanding doesn't.

Who it's for

Built for these people.

Engineers and analysts moving into machine learning.

CS graduates who want real depth, not just frameworks.

Self-taught developers who skipped the theory and feel it.

Anyone who wants to read a paper and actually follow it.

What you'll be able to do

By the end.

Build models from first principles, not libraries alone.

Reason about bias, variance, and why a model fails.

Choose the right model for a problem — and defend the choice.

Read and understand modern ML literature.

The Curriculum

From the mathematics to a model you built yourself.

A structured sequence — each module builds on the last, with assessments along the way.

01

The mathematics you actually need

Linear algebra, calculus, and probability — taught only where they earn their place in machine learning.

Weeks 1–2
02

Supervised learning

Regression and classification: how models learn from labelled data, and where they break.

Weeks 3–4
03

Evaluation & validation

Bias–variance, cross-validation, and honest metrics — measuring what a model truly knows.

Week 5
04

Neural networks from scratch

Build a network by hand: the forward pass, backpropagation, and the intuition behind both.

Weeks 6–7
05

Optimisation & training dynamics

Gradient descent, regularisation, and the practical art of getting models to converge.

Week 8
06

Capstone

Build, train, and evaluate a model end-to-end — and defend your choices against the rubric.

Weeks 9–10

How you're certified

Earned, not awarded for attendance.

I
Enrol

II
Learn

Work through the modules with short assessments at each stage.

III
Build

Complete the capstone — real work, reviewed against a published rubric.

IV
Certify

Earn a GIAI Certificate tied to what you actually produced.
