Every instructor has shipped AI in production. Not academics, not career trainers — people doing this work right now.
A solo agentic app at Week 8 and a production multi-agent system at Week 16. Both live. Both yours.
You learn alongside a focused cohort of peers, not alone in an LMS. Deadlines are real. Progress is visible.
Week 16 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.
8 modules. 16 weeks. The complete AI engineering lifecycle.
The actual production stack, organized by curriculum module. Click any tool for a full guide on what it is, how it fits, and when to reach for it.
Practitioners who build AI systems in production every day.
Flexible payment plans available. Corporate invoicing for employer-sponsored students. Contact sales@buildrlabs.ai.
Reserve Your SeatYou show up in person, work alongside a cohort, and ship two real production systems by the end. Online courses give you content. The Agentic AI Bootcamp gives you a portfolio, instructor connections, and a Demo Day in front of hiring companies.
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.
Three tracks share the same core 16-week curriculum: AI Engineer (build and deploy LLM-powered apps), Automation Engineer (design multi-agent workflows), and AI Product Builder (ship AI products on cloud infrastructure). You specialise through your Capstone 2 project in the back half.
Coding experience is required for this bootcamp — basic Python or JavaScript is enough. If you don't have it yet, learn the basics before Cohort 1 starts on May 16, 2026 (free intro courses on Codecademy or freeCodeCamp work). WhatsApp +94 76 925 6780 or email sales@buildrlabs.ai and we'll help you map a prep plan. (If you want an AI programme that doesn't require coding, see the Applied AI Bootcamp.)
The Agentic AI Bootcamp moves you up the AI stack rather than re-teaching what you already know. The first weeks (LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG) give formal grounding for things experienced devs pick up ad-hoc. The back half — LangGraph, CrewAI, MCP servers, dual-memory architectures, production observability for LLM apps — is genuinely new territory for most working engineers.
4 hours in-person on Saturdays (9am–1pm) at Hatch Works, Colombo, plus 6–8 hours of weekly self-study and project work. Intensive by design. Total: ~10–12 hours per week over 16 weeks.
A structured ramp to Demo Day — the final session of the Agentic AI 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 Cohort 1, no questions asked. After Day 1, all payments are non-refundable.
Week 16 ends with Demo Day. Eligible students enter the Priority Placement Pathway — priority introductions to our partner companies, interview prep, and placement coaching. Community access is included for all graduates.
Yes — for employer-sponsored students. Email sales@buildrlabs.ai to arrange.
Limited seats for Cohort 1. Early-bird pricing ends soon.
