QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU APPLY
Know what to expect.
When can I start?
Learning opens immediately after payment or confirmed free enrollment. Your twelve-week core and six-month learning access begin at activation. Home guides you through a written Start here checklist and your first project task.
How do live sessions work with one learner?
Request an optional 20-minute welcome call, three 45-minute clinics at project milestones, and an individual final assessment when your evidence is ready. Clinics run for one learner or a small group on the same topic. The operator confirms each request and gives at least seven days notice for clinics. A written recap and asynchronous questions are available when you cannot attend.
What is NeoAistriq Academy?
NeoAistriq Academy runs a 12-week Applied AI Fellowship for experienced industry and engineering professionals. Bring a workflow you understand and build, test and defend an AI solution for it.
How much time should I plan for?
Plan for 6–10 hours a week for the twelve-week core. Engineering bridges and additional practice can take longer.
What do I submit for the final AI capstone?
Submit a runnable AI solution, a walkthrough, documented evaluation results and measured business impact. A reviewer observes a live demonstration, a change request and a failure exercise before accepting the capstone.
Does completing the fellowship earn a certification?
Academy records human-assessed completion and can assess demonstrated capability within a defined scope. Completing the lessons alone does not pass the assessment or earn a certification. Vendor credentials are issued by their providers.
How do I demonstrate the Forward Deployed AI specialization?
Complete the implementation, integration and deployment bridges, pass the live capstone and receive a human end-to-end capability assessment within the fellowship.
How do I find and join Academy Discord?
Choose Discord community in the website menu or your Academy workspace. Connect your Discord account, use the revealed server invite and confirm community access. Active enrollment is required for learner channels. Discord participation is optional; lessons, formal submissions and private support remain in Academy. Learner and alumni Discord roles are removed when learning access expires. Completed graduates retain separate Professional Network access in Academy.
How does adaptive learning work?
Your confirmed role, workflow and saved evidence shape targeted explanations and practice. The common standards stay fixed. Generated material is checked against reference lessons; uncertain content is withheld for reviewer judgment. Formative AI feedback does not certify competence or bypass human gates.
Is every lesson independently reviewed?
The reference library has a versioned operator review record. Generated lessons receive structural and automated source-alignment checks, which cannot guarantee correctness. High-consequence or uncertain material requires human review. Your workspace shows these distinctions.
Can I join from another country?
International applications are welcome. The current program is delivered in English. We confirm payment availability, seller terms, tool access and support coverage for your country before making a paid offer. An application is not a country-specific sales commitment.
How do timezones work?
Your application saves an IANA timezone. Workspace sessions display in that timezone and calendar downloads use UTC event timestamps for your calendar to convert. Join links remain private to enrolled learners. Session times and any recordings must be explicitly published; recordings are not automatically promised.
Do I have to repeat AI basics?
Use the foundation lessons to close gaps or demonstrate proficiency with a ten-question check and practical evidence. Passing accelerates study, but does not skip project submissions or human assessment.
Are sales and marketing professionals eligible?
Yes. Role pathways cover sales, marketing, GTM, operations, product/consulting and engineering across industries. Your role determines the workflow and measures; your career track determines the depth of implementation evidence.
How large is the program?
The current public learner limit is 5. Admission can precede a seat becoming available. Expansion requires explicit operator authorization within the staffing budget; wider intake depends on measured delivery effort.
What happens after graduation?
After human-assessed completion, graduates can submit an optional member-directory profile for moderation, express interest in posted opportunities and request a separate post-program support offer. Profiles are private by default. There is no automatic subscription, external introduction or assignment.
Will this help in my current job?
Yes. The work-impact exercise targets a repeated task in your existing role, such as reporting, account research, meeting preparation or document workflows. Compare baseline and assisted time, corrections and output quality. Results depend on the task, permissions and how well you verify the work.
Will I practise CRM and app configuration?
Yes. Guided labs cover a bounded CRM or app change through a supported MCP connection and a controlled browser workflow. Use an authorized sandbox and synthetic records, inspect permissions, approve writes and verify the resulting configuration. Your own tooling access is confirmed separately.
Is this for beginners?
The program is designed for experienced industry and engineering professionals. You should bring relevant experience and a workflow you understand. Prerequisite bridges may be required.
What is an FDE?
Forward deployed engineers work closely with customers to understand problems, build integrations and deploy useful systems. The engineering track develops technical delivery evidence; the industry track develops domain-led discovery, configuration, evaluation and adoption capability. Neither track guarantees a job title.
Will it adapt beyond telecom?
Yes. Your industry, workflow, goals, experience and diagnostic inform your project plan. The common curriculum stays consistent while the exercises and expected evidence adapt.
How much human support is included?
The program has human review gates and a support workflow. The named reviewer, response commitment and scheduled guidance are disclosed in your offer when confirmed. AI guidance does not replace those review decisions.
What is the price?
Founding tuition is US$650, billed once in US dollars for the twelve-week core. Both tracks have the same core price in every eligible country. Your bank may apply currency-conversion or international transaction fees. Country remains relevant to availability and tax treatment. Reviewed paid offers are open for the controlled pilot, subject to admission and capacity. You will see the selling entity, currency, refund policy and applicable referral terms before checkout. Application does not charge you.
Do I need a ChatGPT subscription?
An OpenAI account is not needed for Academy sign-in or the in-app coach. Bring your own ChatGPT account for direct ChatGPT exercises. Start with available basic features. Custom MCP access and advanced features depend on plan and workspace permissions; confirm those before paying for an upgrade. API usage is separately billed.
Are OpenAI or ElevenLabs certifications included?
Academy recommends relevant external learning. OpenAI Academy badges or completion certificates are not an FDE certification. Any ElevenLabs partner credential depends on the provider’s eligibility and availability. Vendor credentials are not promised by enrollment.
Will I get NeoAistriq client work?
Demonstrated capability may support consideration for future opportunities. Client work, selection, rates, contracts and payment are separate decisions. Enrollment does not guarantee an assignment.
Can I refer a colleague?
Yes. Signed-in members can generate a referral link. The colleague still applies and receives a human admission decision. Any reward requires published eligibility and payout terms; registration does not trigger an automatic payout.
What happens after sign-in?
New members complete their application. Accepted and enrolled learners receive a personal plan and learning workspace. Reviewers and operators see only the tools permitted by their roles.
