Production AI Engineer Programme. Build it for real.

For experienced developers who want to do production AI work, not just pass an exam about it. Over 6–8 weeks you build one real system, get it reviewed by senior engineers, and prepare for the certification along the way.

What the $999 covers

Everything in Sprint and Guided + Labs — the study plan, mocks and all six labs — plus the cohort, the project and the mentor reviews. You never pay twice. Exam fees are separate and paid to the vendor.

The first cohort is being scheduled. Tell us what you work on and we’ll come back with dates — and if the programme isn’t right for you, we’ll say so.

Ask about the first cohort

Tell us your background and what you want to build. No payment until a cohort has dates.

How it runs

Assess, learn, build, review, certify.

Week 1

Baseline

A readiness assessment and a short review of your current work, so the cohort starts from where you actually are.

PAID
Weeks 1–3

Foundations and labs

The six labs: Claude API, MCP, agentic development with Claude Code, RAG, evals and LLMOps — with OpenAI and cloud deployment alongside.

PAID
Weeks 3–7

The project

Build one real system end to end. Weekly mentor reviews of architecture, code, evals, security and cost.

PAID
Final week

Certification prep and final review

Timed mocks for your chosen exam, a final practical review of your system, and a clear answer on whether to book.

PAID
What makes it different

Certification proves knowledge. This proves ability.

One real system, not toy notebooks

You build a production-shaped AI service end to end — for example a support agent with retrieval, tools, evals, observability and a deployment pipeline.

Reviewed by people who ship this

Mentors review your architecture, code, prompt and context design, evals, security and cost — the judgement calls documentation can't make for you.

A small cohort

A small group moving together, so you get review time and peers working on the same problems. Not a recorded course with 200 people in it.

How many mock sets can I try for free?
One distinct practice set per track: Developer Foundations and Architect Foundations. You can repeat these free sets. A paid preparation plan unlocks the other four pilot sets per track. These short pilot sets support learning; they do not guarantee official exam readiness.
What am I paying Hydralogic AI for?
You pay us for the welcome kit and mock preparation services included in your chosen plan. The kit provides a preparation checklist, official learning links and institute onboarding guidance. Your payment to us is not an Anthropic exam fee; official learning access is subject to vendor eligibility and invitations.
Can I prepare for and take the Anthropic exam through your institute?
Hydralogic AI enables learners to prepare for and take an Anthropic certification exam through our institute. We provide access to Anthropic's official Skilljar learning portal and guide you through preparation, registration and the official exam pathway. Anthropic's eligibility, identity and booking requirements still apply. You sit the official exam and pay Anthropic separately; our fee covers your preparation sprint or programme.
Will I receive a course completion certificate?
Yes. After completing your course, you receive a course completion certificate from Hydralogic AI. This recognises completion of our training. The official Anthropic certification is a separate credential, issued by Anthropic after you pass its exam.
Is the Anthropic exam fee included, and who do I pay?
The exam fee is not included in our sprint or programme fee. You register for the official exam and pay Anthropic separately, using the payment options available in its official booking flow. We do not collect your exam payment. Check the final fee and any eligible discount before paying.
Do you support a second attempt if I do not pass?
We do not currently support exam re-attempts or include a second attempt in our offering. We plan to introduce re-attempt support, but it is not available yet and no launch date is confirmed. Any retake you arrange independently is subject to Anthropic's current rules and separate fees.
Are discounts available for the exam or your training?
We offer Anthropic exam discounts when available, subject to eligibility and the terms of the relevant offer. These apply to the exam fee, not automatically to our sprint fee. We may also run separate discounts on Hydralogic AI training. Amounts, validity and eligibility will be confirmed for each offer; a discount is not guaranteed with every enrolment.
Will other certifications follow the same approach?
Yes. As we introduce other certification tracks, we plan to offer training, our course completion certificate and help with the vendor's official exam pathway. Vendor exam fees stay separate. Access, discounts and retake support will be confirmed for each track before you enrol; upcoming tracks are not available until announced.
What if I get stuck with access, registration or payment?
Contact Hydralogic AI at hello@hydralogic.dev or through our contact page. Tell us your track and the step where you are blocked. We can help with institute onboarding and guide you through the official process; Anthropic handles its own exam bookings, payments and exam rules.
Is this worth $999 if I only want the certification?
No. If the exam is the goal, take Sprint ($99) or Guided + Labs ($199). The programme is for people who want to build production AI systems, with the certification as one milestone.
Who is it for?
Developers with real programming experience. You don’t need prior AI work, but you do need to be comfortable writing and shipping code.
Does it guarantee I'll pass?
No, and nobody who offers that guarantee can honour it. It’s a proctored exam and you sit it alone.
I already bought a lower tier.
Email us and you pay only the difference — $800 from Guided + Labs, $900 from Sprint.
Will you help me find a job afterwards?
No. We’re not a placement service, we don’t forward CVs, and we don’t take recruitment fees. What you leave with is a system you built and can show.
What if I change my mind?
Full refund any time before the cohort starts. See the refund policy.
