Roles this prepares you for

Voice AI engineer (entry)

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 the end.

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.
Module by module: Each module ends in graded work; the next opens when you are ready, on your own schedule.
Nova remembers: Help is about your actual work, because the tutor has every submission and every failed exercise of yours.
One page an employer can run: Every grade and project at /verify. An employer opens it and runs the code.

The entries, not the grades: those are yours to earn. The page lives at /verify and an employer needs no account to open it.

3 entries, at your own pace. One email when this course opens.

How we help you find a job.

Proof, not a certificate: the projects you deployed are the thing you show, and the tools below are yours to use.

1
Your hiring plan
The same six-part plan the bootcamps use: target roles, the gap map, the proof to send, weekly actions, an interview log, the outcome. You run it with the career agent.
2
A record an employer can run
Your graded projects on /verify. An employer opens it and runs the code.
3
The career agent
Paste a real job posting at /career and it maps the role to your graded work and what to do next.
4
The roles directory
Every role we prepare people for, what it pays and what it asks, at /roles.
5
A path to the live cohort
If you want the instructor, the gates and the hiring sprint, the bootcamp on the same subject is one waitlist away.

One email when this course opens.

Recorded by an instructor who does this work, graded by Nova. The waitlist hears the date and the price first, and nothing is charged before it exists.
