Build the deployment lifecycle, deepen the technical core, specialize in production AI, practice through missions, or prove capability through independent portfolio assessment.
The initial catalog avoids an oversized course marketplace. Each offer solves a distinct learner problem and produces inspectable work.
Understand the complete deployment lifecycle before taking responsibility for a full production build.
Build, deploy, and evaluate a working operational application under realistic enterprise constraints.
Deploy models, RAG systems, and agents inside governed enterprise workflows.
Practice the work without repeating a full curriculum.
The correct entry point depends less on job title and more on whether you need lifecycle judgment, technical implementation, AI specialization, or standalone practice.
| Program | Best for | Primary evidence | Full application build | Independent credential |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FDE Foundations | New to field delivery | Complete deployment foundation | No | No |
| FDE Practitioner | Hands-on engineers | Working operational system | Yes | Separate assessment |
| AI FDE | Production AI teams | Evaluated governed AI workflow | Yes | Separate assessment |
| Mission Library | Targeted practice | Mission-specific artifacts | Depends on mission | No |
These focused packages are planned as the program library grows. They solve narrow capability gaps without turning the flagship path into an unmanageable course.
Stakeholder interviews, workflow observation, problem framing, acceptance criteria, and minimum deployable solutions.
Executive updates, technical storytelling, objection handling, scope control, training, and operating reviews.
Identity, security review, legacy integration, data residency, auditability, multi-team rollout, and operating ownership.
Portfolio positioning, discovery cases, system design, debugging, customer scenarios, and technical presentations.
Reviewed deployment evidence, published rubric, live defense, identity verification, and public credential record.
Review the standard →Role onboarding, shared artifacts, scored simulations, manager calibration, workshops, and customized missions.
Explore team programs →These are planned learning paths. Final pricing should be set only after pilot workload and review costs are measured.
FDE Foundations plus Atlas Freight. Best for technical professionals testing the role.
Foundations, technical core, communication, and three deployment missions.
Foundations, AI FDE specialization, Titan mission, and portfolio assessment readiness.
Completing a course demonstrates participation. The independent credential requires separate evidence review and a live defense.
Start with FDE Foundations when you have not previously owned discovery, deployment planning, adoption, and value measurement. Experienced engineers can enter through the Mission Library or the Practitioner pilot.
Not necessarily. The prerequisite is the ability to explain the full lifecycle and produce the required field artifacts. A readiness diagnostic can replace course completion.
No. They are designed to develop relevant capability and inspectable evidence, but they cannot guarantee interviews, offers, compensation, or promotion.
No. Portfolio certification is an independent assessment. Candidates pay for review and feedback, not a guaranteed passing result.
FDE Foundations gives you the common language, artifacts, and judgment required to make later technical work coherent.
