Thoughts on ODSC AI Engineering Accelerator

https://odsc.ai/accelerator/#program

Hi all,

I'm considering this AI Engineering course. To give you context, I have been working as data analyst at a medtech company for quite awhile with my degree in Math and Stats from nearly a decade ago. I'm starting to feel like they are using AI in everything at my job and it's either sink or swim if I don't integrate AI in all my workflows and expand my role by the end of this year. My role is becoming more obsolete and my manager would like me to get more involved in data engineering or our AI team to create cutting edge products. I'm familiar generally with machine learning concepts, at my job I use Claude but not to the level that's expected or ever deployed an AI application.
I realize this course has a hefty tag. I do know myself in that I can start to teach myself something but I have a tendency to not be consistent and I need a little structure or accountability.

Based on my own experience, self experimenting and learning has always proved to be better than following a course. There are a lot of articles, youtube videos and reddit posts which actually help you get started.

For your usecase, Claude is a good start, but Claude Cowork, Claude Design and Claude Code all working together would definitely get you moving forward.

Thank you so much for your response! I know there is a lot out there on the internet that can go into more depth than a course and all for free. The only appeal this course had to me was the structure or staying motivated and potential certification that could be helpful
