FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can't find yours? A counsellor will answer it on a short call.

Ask a counsellor

Do I need to code?

No. This is a product and strategy program for leaders. You will write briefs and plans, not production software. Engineers who want to build and evaluate LLM systems should look at LLMOps & AI Evaluation or our longer engineering programs.

How long is the program?

Six weeks, part-time and live online, at about 4–5 hours a week including the live session and your written work.

Who is it for?

Product managers, founders, and business or operations leaders who need a structured way to choose and sequence AI work. A real initiative from your job is the working example.

Are the sessions live?

Yes. Sessions are live and mentor-led. Weekend-morning batches are offered for learners in the US, with other regional times available. Recordings are shared if you miss a session. Exact times are confirmed on a counsellor call.

Will this get me a new job or a salary increase?

We do not promise placement, salary or promotion outcomes. The program is designed so you can take a clearer AI initiative brief back to your current role or organisation.

What about fees?

Fees and EMI options shared on a counsellor call.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. Datamarcos has a 7-day refund policy. If the program is not right for you, ask within 7 days of enrollment.
