What makes the
cohort approach different
Promptly's programmes are built around doing and reviewing — not watching and hoping. Here is how the structure translates into a more useful learning experience.
Back to HomeCore Advantages
Code review on every submission
Assignments are reviewed by instructors who write specific feedback. Participants learn from what reviewers notice, not just from whether their code passes a test.
Portfolio output at completion
Every participant finishes the programme with a documented repository of completed project work. The portfolio is their own — not a certificate issued by Promptly.
Open-source tooling throughout
Coursework uses publicly available, actively maintained open-source models and libraries. Participants are not locked into proprietary platforms they cannot use elsewhere.
Structured for working adults
Programmes are part-time with defined weekly workloads. Participants know exactly how many hours each week they need before they enrol.
Written, searchable course guides
Materials are written documents rather than video collections. Participants can read at their own pace, search for specific sections, and return to reference material throughout the cohort.
Transparent scope on every page
Each programme describes what will be covered, what participants submit, and what Promptly documents at the end. No ambiguous outcome claims.
Instructor expertise in engineering, not just AI theory
Promptly's instructors come from software engineering and data engineering backgrounds. They have reviewed code professionally and understand what separates a working project from one that is simply functional. This shapes how feedback is written — it focuses on structure, maintainability, and engineering habits, not just whether the model runs.
- Background in production engineering environments
- Familiarity with model serving and evaluation workflows
- Code review conducted as a professional practice, not automated grading
Curriculum built around actively maintained tooling
The course material is reviewed between cohort intakes. Tools that lose active development are replaced. Participants work with the libraries and model APIs that are currently in use across open-source AI projects — not a snapshot from two years ago.
- Open-source model APIs and local inference tools
- Transformer-based architectures covered in the longer tracks
- Retrieval-augmented generation included in the full programme
Responsive communication and small cohort sizes
Intake is limited so that instructors can give each participant's work proper attention. Questions submitted during the cohort receive written responses from the same people who reviewed the assignments. Participants are not directed to a forum and left to find the answer themselves.
- Limited cohort intake per programme cycle
- Written responses to technical questions from instructors
- Office hours available for enrolled participants
Pricing stated upfront, no hidden costs
Programme fees are listed on the solutions page: RM 500 for the five-week cohort, RM 1,720 for the fourteen-week track, and RM 4,420 for the thirty-two week programme. There are no module upgrades, add-on fees, or certificate costs beyond the programme price.
- All course materials included in the programme fee
- Code review included for all assignment submissions
- Instalment options available for longer programmes on request
Completion leads to documented, ownable work
By the end of each programme, participants have a body of project work that is theirs. The 5-week cohort ends with a portfolio repository; the 32-week programme ends with a capstone project. Promptly documents what was completed — participants own and control the output.
- Portfolio repository hosted in participant's own account
- Capstone project with written documentation (32-week track)
- Completion record issued by Promptly on request
How It Compares
| Feature | Typical online course | Promptly cohort |

What Sets Promptly Apart
Cohort structure with scheduled review cycles
Participants move through the curriculum together and submit work on a cohort schedule. This creates a natural accountability structure that self-paced courses do not provide.
Curriculum reviewed between every intake
The AI tooling landscape changes frequently. Promptly reviews and updates course materials before each cohort to ensure participants work with tools that are currently maintained and relevant.
No employment promises — honest documentation instead
Promptly records what participants complete. The portfolio and capstone are the participant's work. This is more valuable than a credential that promises outcomes the school has no way to deliver.
Three tracks with clear entry requirements
Each programme states its prerequisites plainly. Participants choose the track that matches their current skills — not what they aspire to have. This keeps cohort quality consistent and review feedback more useful.
