About the Forward Deployed Engineer (AI) course
Forward deployed engineers sit between a product and its customers. They join customer teams, learn how the business really works, connect the product to its data and systems, and adapt it until it delivers. AI companies hire for the role because every customer's data, tools and workflows are different.
The course is part engineering, part consulting. You practise discovery calls and scoping, then integration work — REST, webhooks, CRMs, ERPs and messy spreadsheets — followed by deploying RAG and agents on business data with human review built in. Production skills such as monitoring, incidents and access control are covered too.
Media 360 Concept runs client deployments from HiLITE Business Park, and the course uses that work as its model: you run a project end to end from discovery to demo and handover. It is an advanced course for people who already code in Python or JavaScript and enjoy solving business problems with customers.
Who this course is for
- Developers who enjoy talking to customers
- Engineers aiming for AI startups and product companies
- Consultants who want hands-on technical depth

Is AI really used in every module?
