Build to Certify

Public bootcamp · Cohort 001

The 5-Day AI Builder Sprint

In five days, you'll build one working AI system for your real job and demo it live — or you don't get certified, and you get your money back.

The five days

Day 1

Scope

From Work Map to Build Spec: problem, inputs, outputs, success test, safe-data rules.

Output: a one-page Build Spec

Day 2

Build v1

System instructions, knowledge files, first working version — built live, together.

Output: v1 demo on a sample task

Day 3

Real work

Ground it in your real documents and templates. Optional automation layer for the ambitious.

Output: v2 running on a real task

Day 4

Harden

Failure cases, quality tests, guardrails. Run it on three real tasks and measure the time saved.

Output: a test log with evidence

Day 5

Demo Day

Three-minute demos, live assessment against the Build Standard, certification decisions, share kit.

Output: your Verified Build Record

Questions

Before you book

Do I need to code?+

No. The primary tools are no-code (Claude Projects or custom GPTs). An optional automation layer is offered on Day 3 for the ambitious.

How much time does the Sprint take?+

90 minutes live per day (UK lunchtime) plus 45–60 minutes of build time, for five consecutive weekdays.

What if my build doesn't work by Day 5?+

The Build Guarantee: attend all five sessions and leave without a working system, and you get a full refund. Near-misses get one free re-demo within 14 days.

Is this accredited?+

Certificates are issued by CIAI, an independent certification body under London Royal Academy. We assess against a published standard and maintain a public verification register. We do not claim chartered status or government regulation.

What tools do I need?+

A laptop, your normal work documents, and a Claude or ChatGPT account — guidance provided; the ~£20/month tier is recommended.

Will my work data be safe?+

You build with your own accounts; nothing is uploaded to us. Day 1 covers safe-data practice for workplace use.

What happens after the Sprint?+

Your build keeps working — it's yours. A 30-day check-in is included, and your Verified Build Record stays on the public register.
