Programme structure
Six stages. Each gate must be passed before progression.
Foundations
Weeks 1–6 · 240 hProgramming, data, mathematics, databases, systems and the software discipline every AI role depends on.
Gate 1 — Foundations examinationCore AI
Weeks 7–12 · 240 hClassical machine learning, deep learning, transformers, and the two statutory subjects that carry half the qualification weight.
Gate 2 — NOS 8121 / 8122 practicalApplied GenAI
Weeks 13–18 · 240 hLanguage models, retrieval-augmented generation, agents, evaluation and responsible AI — the layer employers hire for.
Gate 3 — RAG/agent system with evaluationsSpecialisation
Weeks 19–22 · 160 hOne of six role tracks, taken to production depth.
Gate 4 — deployed track projectCapstone & OJT
Weeks 23–24 · 170 hAn owned, defended, end-to-end system plus 90 hours of supervised industry work.
Gate 5 — capstone defenceProfessional (parallel)
Weeks 1–24 · 90 hEmployability, workplace conduct, inclusion and sustainability — delivered alongside technical stages.
Continuous evaluationRole specialisation tracks
Learners take one in Stage D, then complete a capstone in that role.

AdvancedBuilt on the national standard
The curriculum is built around Qualification Pack SSC/Q8113 — AI - Machine Learning Engineer (IT-ITeS Sector Skill Council (NASSCOM), NSQF Level 7). The statutory 480-hour core (144 theory + 246 practical + 90 OJT) is fully embedded, and every performance criterion maps to a named module and a named assessment.
