Learning Outcomes

What you'll learn

→Identify the four new AI primitives (tokens, context windows, embeddings, hallucination) and explain why they function as hard constraints in system design, not implementation details

→Map the current model landscape — frontier models, open-source models, hosted inference, fine-tuned models — and select the right tier for a given use case

→Explain Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture including chunking, embedding, vector search, and generation, and evaluate a proposed RAG design for common failure modes

→Explain AI agent architecture including the tool call loop, orchestration, and multi-agent coordination, and identify when agents are and are not the right pattern

→Apply the three-question decision framework to choose between RAG, fine-tuning, and agents for a given enterprise problem

→Design the integration layer between an AI system and enterprise data sources, auth, and existing APIs

→Define an AI governance framework covering data classification, model cards, audit logging, human-in-the-loop requirements, and vendor risk

→Build a cost model for a proposed AI system covering token costs, infrastructure, compute, and total cost of ownership

→Write a one-page AI architecture proposal including system diagram, pattern selection rationale, risk register, and cost estimate

→Lead an AI delivery team: define evaluation metrics, structure a proof-of-concept, and make a go/no-go recommendation with evidence

The day after you finish

The day after this course, you can sit in a vendor AI demo, spot the missing pieces in their architecture story, ask the three questions that reveal whether they chose the right pattern, and write a one-page summary with a recommendation for your CTO — without needing to defer to anyone in the room.

Who this is for

Primary: Experienced solution architects, enterprise architects, and IT directors with 10+ years in technology who have been heads-down in non-AI work for the last 2-5 years and now need to lead AI initiatives — evaluate vendors, approve designs, set governance standards, and brief the board — without going back to school.
Secondary: Engineering managers and senior tech leads moving into architect roles who need the decision-making and leadership layer, not just the implementation details.

Prerequisites

10+ years of experience in technology — architecture, infrastructure, software development, or IT leadership
Familiarity with enterprise concepts: APIs, databases, cloud, integration patterns, vendor evaluation
No AI, ML, LangChain, Python, or LLM experience required
Ability to read code at a high level — you do not need to write it, but you will look at it and understand what it is doing

Capstone Project

AI Architecture Proposal — Board-Ready

A one-page architecture proposal for a real AI initiative in your organisation or a scenario of your choice. The proposal must include: a clear problem statement, pattern selection (RAG / agents / fine-tuning) with a three-question rationale, a system diagram showing data flow and integration points, a risk register with at least three risks and mitigations, a cost estimate covering tokens + infrastructure + build, and a go/no-go recommendation with your evaluation criteria.

Portfolio value

A board-ready AI Architecture Proposal that translates pattern selection rationale, system design, and risk mitigation into executive decision-making, demonstrating the ability to architect and govern AI initiatives at organizational scale.
