Curriculum

A job-ready path along the arc, from AI-Assisted to AI-Native, built on real projects and a portfolio you keep, delivered online or in person.

Level 1 · Basic

AI-Assisted

Code fluently with AI: prompt craft, codebase Q&A, and debugging, with AI as a tutor and pair.

Level 2 · Intermediate

AI-Connected

AI inside your projects: basic MCP integrations, context-aware debugging, test generation and review.

Level 3 · Expert

AI-Native

Ship a production-ready AI agent, learn harness engineering, and get a taste of voice and Hermes.

02

Built by a practitioner, not a trainer

AI Arc is run by a senior engineer who builds AI-native systems on a production codebase every day. What you learn is what actually works right now: real tradeoffs, real failures, on real code.

The field turns over monthly. We teach what ships today, on real code, with real tradeoffs, not what a curriculum certified last year.

AI Engineer

An AI front-runner and a contributor to the AI context layer for complex code repositories, turning AI from autocomplete into a teammate that understands the codebase. I run AI-native solutions in day-to-day engineering: feature implementation, bug fixes, query resolution, support-ticket processing and codified best practices.
