One pathway, two stackable bootcamps. Foundations starts at Python and builds up to real agentic systems, while Advanced takes them into production. Both are in person and practitioner-led, ending in a Demo Day with hiring companies.

Every instructor has shipped AI in production. Not academics, not career trainers — people doing this work right now.
A live agentic application in the Foundations Bootcamp, then a production multi-agent system in the Advanced Bootcamp. Both live. Both yours.
You learn alongside a focused cohort of peers, not alone in an LMS. Deadlines are real. Progress is visible.
The Advanced Bootcamp ends with Demo Day in front of our partner companies. Your Priority Placement Pathway starts there.

You have a degree, but you keep hitting “experience required.” Or you want real skills before you start applying. This programme gives you a portfolio that proves you can build — and a Demo Day that puts you in front of companies who want to see it.
You want to get into AI before your peers even start their degrees. Build real skills now and enter university — or the workforce — already ahead.
You’re done using AI tools. You want to build them. You have some coding background and you’re ready to go deep: agents, systems, production infrastructure. Not a shortcut. The real thing.
One thing to know — this is a technical programme. Working knowledge of Python or JavaScript is required to keep up from week one.
All three tracks share the same core modules. The specialisation is in how you apply what you build.
Build and deploy LLM-powered applications end to end — from prompt engineering to production infrastructure.
Design multi-agent workflows that replace manual processes and scale intelligently.
Ship AI products from prototype to production with cloud-native infrastructure.
Laptop to production in 24 weeks. Enter where your skills are, build six real projects, and finish in front of the companies that are hiring.
From Python foundations to building production-quality agents. You finish having built and shipped a real agentic application.
A working LLM application built on the fundamentals: clean prompts, structured outputs, and the right model for the job.
A solo agent that grounds its answers in your own documents and acts through tools: a full RAG-plus-tools build.
In teams of three, build a production-quality agent: 4+ tools, RAG over 100+ documents, a custom MCP server, dual-memory, validation and an evaluation suite. Your exit artifact and gateway to the Advanced Bootcamp.
Take agents from laptop to production: containerised, orchestrated and monitored across clouds. You finish with a live production system and present it on Demo Day.
Containerise an agent, push it to a registry, and deploy it to Kubernetes with autoscaling and self-healing.
A full CI/CD pipeline that provisions cloud infrastructure with Terraform and ships an agent to a managed cloud service.
In teams of three, ship a live multi-cloud system: Kubernetes manifests, Terraform, a CI/CD pipeline, a Grafana dashboard with alerts and a live URL. Industry placement matching begins on Demo Day.
A first-time coder and a senior engineer cannot learn at the same pace in the same room. So you start where your skills already are. There are three ways in.
Open enrolment into the Foundations Bootcamp. No prior AI experience needed, you begin with Python and build up from there.
Already code? Pass the Week 1 assessment and skip the Python ramp, starting straight at LLM Fundamentals in the Foundations Bootcamp.
Strong engineers can enter the Advanced Bootcamp directly by passing the placement assessment, proving you can already build a working agent.

Practitioners who build AI systems in production every day.
Every graduate receives a uniquely-numbered Certificate of Completion, signed by Isuru Alagiyawanna (Head of Curriculum) and verifiable at buildrlabs.ai. Recognised across the HatchWorks partner network and ready to share on LinkedIn the day after Demo Day.
Each bootcamp stands on its own. Enrol in both up front and save LKR 40,000. Flexible payment plans available; corporate invoicing for employer-sponsored students — sales@buildrlabs.ai.

Reserve Your SeatTake your agents to production. Ends with Demo Day.
Reserve Your SeatTwo stackable, in-person bootcamps. The Foundations Bootcamp gets you building real agentic AI applications. The Advanced Bootcamp takes those systems to production and ends with Demo Day in front of hiring companies. Take one, or take both and save.
No. Each bootcamp stands on its own. Most people start with the Foundations Bootcamp, then continue to Advanced when they are ready. Enrol in both up front (the Full Pathway) and you save LKR 40,000.
Foundations is about building: LLMs and prompting, RAG, agentic workflows, MCP and context engineering — you ship a real agentic application. Advanced is about shipping to production: containerisation, cloud and CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and observability — you build a production multi-agent system and present it on Demo Day.
People who want to build production AI systems, not just use them. Fresh graduates, A-level students, career-changers, and working developers who want to specialise in agentic AI. If you want to apply AI in a non-technical role rather than build it, our Applied AI Bootcamp is the better fit.
For the Foundations Bootcamp, basic Python or JavaScript is enough. The Advanced Bootcamp assumes you have completed Foundations or have equivalent agentic-AI experience. If you are not there yet, you have time before the August 2026 intake — free intro courses on Codecademy or freeCodeCamp work. WhatsApp +94 76 925 6780 or email sales@buildrlabs.ai and we will help you map a prep plan. (If you want an AI programme that does not require coding, see the Applied AI Bootcamp.)
The Foundations Bootcamp starts in August 2026 and the Advanced Bootcamp in November 2026. Both run in person on Sundays, 9am to 1pm, at Hatch Works, Colombo, over three months. Confirmed Sunday dates are shared with you directly before your cohort begins.
4 hours in person on Sundays (9am to 1pm) at Hatch Works, Colombo, plus 6 to 8 hours of weekly self-study and project work. Intensive by design. Total: around 10 to 12 hours per week.
A structured ramp to Demo Day at the end of the Advanced Bootcamp, where you present your production project to our partner companies who are actively hiring. Includes priority access to those partners plus coaching to convert. Eligibility: 80% attendance, all assignments, all projects completed.
No. What we guarantee is your place in front of hiring decision-makers at Demo Day, plus the preparation to convert. Eligibility: 80% attendance, all assignments, all projects completed.
Full refund if you withdraw by the end of Day 1 of your bootcamp, no questions asked. After Day 1, all payments are non-refundable.
Yes — for employer-sponsored students. Email sales@buildrlabs.ai to arrange.
The Agentic AI Pathway opens with the Foundations Bootcamp in August 2026. Seats are limited.
