Junior AI Developer Retraining Program
The Junior AI Developer Retraining Program aims to prepare junior AI developers who are able to design, develop, and test web-based software solutions using AI, as both a development tool and a part of the application being created.
Building a strong base
During the course of study, the learner will acquire a strong base in full-stack development and practical experience in using modern development tools. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of large language models (LLMs) as part of the development process – including structured prompting, critical assessment of AI responses, and the creation of AI-based functionalities.
As a result of the training, the learner will be able to go through the entire software development lifecycle both independently and in a team, from the concept design to the completion of a functioning, tested, and documented application.
The Junior AI Developer Retraining Program (total 600 ECTS hours) is divided into two separate modules – face-to-face learning and hands-on training in a company. The program consists of training (280 ECTS hours), which takes place at the BCS Koolitus training center, and an internship at a company (320 ECTS hours).
