FDE capability program

Your client won't grade the course. They'll grade the deployment.

Build a bench of forward deployed engineers who can run discovery with a client, build the agent, and take it to production. Every engineer is assessed in auto-evaluated labs, so you know who is ready before you staff them.

The staffing question

Your training report and your delivery head are answering different questions.

Clients are buying outcomes from AI engagements, not headcount. That puts engineers in front of the client, running discovery and owning production. Completion data can’t tell you who is ready for that.

What a training dashboard tells you

Who finished the GenAI course

Who passed the quiz

Hours logged per engineer

What your delivery head needs to know

Who can turn a client’s process into a technical approach

Who can build an agent that holds up with real data

Who you can send on-site next month

What changes for the engineer

Four shifts separate a good engineer from a forward deployed one.

01

Requirement to discovery

Runs structured discovery and turns business processes, constraints, risks and KPIs into the right technical approach.

02

Component to outcome

Owns the outcome across RAG applications, agents and multi-agent systems, not just the piece they built.

03

Internal to customer-facing

Works across the client’s business, engineering, architecture and security teams without a manager in the room.

04

Build to production

Ships governed, tested, integrated work that survives contact with production, not a demo.

How the program runs

Engineers build a working enterprise copilot. We measure every step.

[Week 0]

Baseline

Hands-on assessment shows where each engineer starts against the four shifts.

[Weeks 1–3]

Build with a trainer

Live, instructor-led sessions while engineers build in real labs, environments and model infrastructure.

Throughout

Auto-evaluated labs

Every lab is scored on the work itself: discovery, build, integration, testing and deployment.

[Week 4]

Readiness readout

You get a role-readiness view for every engineer and a plan for the gaps.

What you walk away with

A staffing answer, not a completion rate.

See who can go on-site now, who is close and what they’re missing, and who needs more time. Each status is backed by the lab work behind it.

Questions delivery leaders ask first

How is this different from an AI certification?

A certification confirms someone studied. This program has engineers build and ship a working copilot, and scores that work. You staff from the readout, not the certificate.

Can it match our clients' domains and our stack?

Yes. Domain, technical depth, use case and schedule are set to your workforce and the kind of work your clients buy.

How much time does it take away from billable work?

Hours per week and session format, confirmed by the program team.

Who should be in the first cohort?

Engineers you are considering for client-facing AI work in the next two quarters. The pilot tells you who is ready and what the rest need.
