How long is the Voice AI Agents Bootcamp?

12 weeks at about 15 hours a week. The weeks run as six two-week blocks; each block ends in a project you deploy and a gate you must pass before the next block opens.

Is the Voice AI Agents Bootcamp live or self-paced?

Live. It is taught on Zoom by one instructor, with a 30-minute one-to-one every week. Nova, Square 1's AI tutor, grades every exercise and project between sessions against a rubric you can read.

When are the live sessions for the Voice AI Agents Bootcamp?

Live sessions run on weekday evenings from 5:30 PM Sri Lanka and India time, with full-day sessions at weekends. That is 5:00 PM in Pakistan, 5:45 PM in Nepal and 6:00 PM in Bangladesh, so the sessions fit around a working day.

How much does the Voice AI Agents Bootcamp cost?

A$200 for the founding cohort, paid once; the standard price is A$400. It is the same price in every country. Founding students keep their founding price on any second programme.

What will I build in the Voice AI Agents Bootcamp?

6 deployed projects: Voice loop, A number that answers, Booking by phone, Conversation evals, Production and Employer brief. Each is graded against a published rubric and kept on a record an employer can open at /verify.

What skills does the Voice AI Agents Bootcamp teach?

Python, speech APIs, telephony, real-time systems, agents and evals. It prepares you for roles such as Voice AI engineer, Conversational AI engineer and AI engineer.

Does the Voice AI Agents Bootcamp guarantee a job?

No. No placement rate is published because the first cohorts have not graduated. What you leave with is six deployed projects, a recorded defence of your code and a hiring plan worked through with your instructor, including a two-week hiring sprint at the end.

A week, about 15 hours

Live on Zoom: 4h
Set reading and exercises: 6h
The project: 5h

1
Six deployed projects
Each graded by Nova against a published rubric and signed off by the instructor at the gate.
2
The twelve-week plan
Every week has its theme, its topics and what you build, published before you apply and taught live by your instructor.
3
Live on Zoom every week
A 90-minute live code review, a 60-minute squad lab, 60 minutes of office hours, and a 30-minute 1-1 with your instructor.
4
Your hiring plan
Opened in week 1 and reviewed in every 1-1: target roles, the gap map, the proof list, weekly actions, an interview log, the outcome.
5
The record
Every grade and every project with its repository at square1ai.com/u/{handle}, and the recording of your viva, verifiable by any employer.
6
The certificate
A credential ID that resolves at square1ai.com/verify to the real completion.
7
The hiring sprint
Weeks 11 and 12: CV and portfolio from graded work, applications, mock interviews scored against the role, demo day.
8
Nova for twelve weeks
A tutor with every submission of yours in its memory, at 2am as well as in class.

Twelve weeks in six parts.

Each part teaches for a week, then you build and deploy a project, then a gate checks it before the next part opens. The project and its gate are the part's entry on your record.

Live time each week on Zoom: a 90-minute class where the instructor reviews real submissions, a 60-minute squad lab, 60 minutes of office hours, and your own 30-minute 1-1. Nothing is lectured live; the recorded lessons do that.

What you can do by week 12.

Six voice agents from a browser loop to a production line, and a conversation eval method that tells you when an agent gets worse before a caller does.

1
Build a speech-in, speech-out loop inside a conversational latency budget with turn-taking and interruption.
2
Answer a real phone number with call state, recording consent and human handoff.
3
Complete tasks by voice with tools, confirmation and error recovery.
4
Evaluate conversations with simulated callers and safety checks, in CI.
5
Run voice agents in production with concurrency, cost per minute, monitoring and more than one language.
6
Defend a voice agent and its worst call.

Roles this prepares you for

Voice AI engineerConversational AI engineerAI engineer

No placement rate is shown, because there are no graduates to count yet. The roles above are what the projects are built for.

Your record at week 12.

Every exercise and project is graded by Nova against a rubric you can read, and every grade is kept on one page an employer can open and run. This is what the programme writes to it.

Graded, line by line: Nova reads every submission against the brief and the rubric and returns a score, what you did well and what to fix.
Six gates: A block does not open until the previous project passes its gate. You always know where you are and what is next.
A weekly 1-1: Thirty minutes with your instructor, who has already read your code before the call.
One page an employer can run: Every grade, project and the viva recording at /verify. An employer opens it, runs the code and watches you defend it.
