Founders and Coders
We're attempting to build the best AI training programme in the country: a machine learning engineer apprenticeship for software engineers and data scientists ready to transition into AI-native development and ship production AI systems for their employer. It runs one afternoon a week on-site at our campus near Old Street.
Modules are designed to seed work that carries back to your business. The aim is for your employee to prototype products that prove useful in their day job, so the programme works best where there are real projects to apply learning to: building internal AI tools, ML pipelines, or integrating LLMs into existing products. If AI is part of your strategic direction, you get a developer gaining practical skills every week and bringing them straight back into the business.
It costs nothing. The £22,000 cost per place is funded entirely through the apprenticeship levy. If you do not pay the levy, the cost of the training will be fully funded through our partners.
If you're an employer considering the programme for your team, the best next step is a call with Dan, our CEO. He can talk you through the structure, the funding, and whether it's a good fit for the kind of work your engineers are doing. Book a time below.
If you're a prospective learner, please email hello@foundersandcoders.com instead. This channel is reserved for employer enquiries, but we'd love to hear from you there.
We run free taster workshops at our Old Street campus. They are a good way for your employees to get a feel for the programme before committing. You can see upcoming dates below.
