Flagship certification programFoundation + advanced AI track
Build the datafoundation.Engineer theintelligence.
Advanced Data Engineering with Applied GenAI & Agentic AI.
A structured, mentor-led journey from modern data engineering foundations to production-style RAG, agentic workflows and an integrated capstone, taught by Deepesh Mishra.
Live mentor-led learning · Weekend/evening sessions · Starts 5 December 2026
Live mentorship.
Projects that connect the stack.
One connected discipline
From dependable data
to useful AI systems.
Build the layers in sequence: cloud data foundations, retrieval grounded in real information, agents that use tools, and a capstone that brings the pieces together.
Program structure
Two tracks.
One connected skill path.
The foundation builds modern data engineering capability. The advanced specialization applies GenAI and agents on top of that foundation.
Data Engineering Foundation
Build modern data engineering capability across cloud data lakes, pipelines, orchestration, streaming and data quality.
Applied GenAI & Agentic AI
Build LLM-powered applications on real data platforms, from grounded RAG to tool-using agents and a production-style capstone.
Build as you learn
Projects move from data to action.
Hands-on labs run through both tracks. Each capstone grows from a working data foundation toward an integrated AI application.
Scalable data pipelines
Ingest, transform and orchestrate data across cloud platforms.
Production RAG assistant
Ground model responses in searchable business knowledge.
Tool-using agent
Connect an agent to APIs, data and a defined workflow.
Integrated capstone
Bring data engineering, GenAI and agentic patterns together.
Applied work
Build the systems in the brochure.
Use these project formats to practise the ideas: data ingestion, grounded retrieval, useful agents and an integrated application.

Technologies & tools
The stack across both tracks.
Tools and platforms named in the program brochure, used for cloud data engineering, GenAI applications and agent workflows.
Who it serves
Built for people ready to grow their data and AI practice.
Designed for professionals already working with data, building data products, or moving from related analytics, software and database roles.
Ask about fit and prerequisites- Analytics and BI professionals moving beyond dashboards
- ETL and integration engineers modernizing their stack
- Software and backend developers expanding into data systems
- Database administrators moving toward data platforms and AI
Prerequisites
Start with core data comfort. Build forward from there.
Cloud knowledge is helpful but not mandatory. The brochure includes Python and SQL refreshers before the program work.
Helpful foundations
Basic understanding of databases; SQL is required.
Familiarity with a programming language; Python is preferred.
Comfort with data concepts such as files, formats, joins and aggregations.
Experience working with data in any role is useful.
