Frequently Asked Questions
Who are we?
AiCore is a specialist Ai & Data career accelerator. We are delivering an immersive programme that will launch your career in Ai & Data at supersonic speed.
AiCore was founded by Harry Berg, Christian Kerr and Haron Shams.
Harry and Haron originally founded the Machine Learning Society at Imperial College London, and Christian was Chief of Staff at CogX, Europe's largest festival on Ai.
They met at an Ai Conference in London, and they came together to create AiCore.
Over the next year, they taught a community of over 5500 Ai & Data enthusiasts and using industry feedback, they started developing the AiCore programme.
AiCore is now a team of over 20 people working to deliver the world's most industry-informed hands-on education in Ai & Data.
Where will I take classes?
We don't have classes in the traditional sense. All the learning you do at AiCore is directed towards completing industry projects. You consume material on your own. Then you come to meetups every night to work on your projects along side your peer group and there are support engineers to offer you instant live support.
All of this takes place exclusively online, so you can learn from the comfort of your own home. On top of the meetups, we also hold public events with industry experts every week, and private events including industry mentor office hours and open hacking for students only.
