Data Blueprint & AI/Vibe Coding

Not a traditional coding bootcamp, and not a prompt trick. Two days that give you trusted data foundations and a method for building real products with AI — for builders who want results, not syntax drills.

Module 2 of this training is our standalone Learn Vibe Coding masterclass — if you already know your data foundations, you can take that on its own.

Why you need this training

Software is now built by directing AI — and the products that hold up are the ones built on data that is understood, modelled and governed. Most people learn only one half. They know their data but cannot build, or they can prompt an AI into a demo that falls apart the moment a real dataset, a real business rule or a real user arrives.

This training teaches both halves, in the order they belong. Day 1 is the Data Blueprint: decision support systems, what data and metadata are, the building blocks, modelling, processing and storage, architecture, governance and agentic AI. Day 2 is the Learn Vibe Coding masterclass in full — the eight documents, the guardrails and the build sequence, shown live on a real repository — followed by hands-on time on your own idea.

It is a method, not a course of slides: plan, build, test, deploy, improve. You leave with the documents, the constitution file and the habits that keep an AI coding agent reliable — and with the data foundations that make what it builds worth trusting.

  • You can describe the product you want but cannot brief a developer — or an AI — precisely enough to get it
  • You have tried AI coding tools and got something that almost worked, then broke when the data or the rules changed
  • You work with data every day but have never been shown how it should be modelled, governed and made trustworthy
  • You are paying for software, or waiting in a queue for it, that a small well-built internal tool could replace

Curriculum

2 modules · expand any module to see what it covers

01Module 1 · Data Blueprint

Day 1 — the data foundations every AI-era builder needs: from decision support systems to governance and agentic AI.

    • · Components of a Decision Support System
    • · Real-world DSS examples across banking, telecom, oil & gas and healthcare

    • · Conceptual, logical and physical data modelling, including normalisation (1NF–6NF, BCNF, DKNF)
    • · Specialised techniques — dimensional, Data Vault, Anchor, Focal Point, NoSQL, temporal, event-driven
    • · Governance and AI extensions — metadata modelling, access control, ML feature modelling
  • Data processing & storage

    Outcome: understand how data is stored and processed at scale, and which pattern fits which workload.

    • · Data warehouse, data lake, lakehouse, data hub and data fabric
    • · Relational vs NoSQL — key-value, document, columnar and graph databases
    • · Specialised datastores — Hadoop, object storage, file and table formats
  • DAC Architecture

    Outcome: apply the founder's own DAC (Data & AI Cognitive) Architecture framework to modern data platform design.

    • · Why traditional architecture fails, and the cost of architectural drift

    • · Security vs privacy — the CIA triad and responsible data use
    • · The six dimensions of data quality
    • · The real cost of getting any one pillar wrong
  • Agentic AI

    Outcome: understand what agentic AI actually is, why many projects get scrapped, and where it creates real business value.

    • · The evolution of AI, and the current reality of agentic AI adoption
    • · Core agent types and how agentic AI works
    • · The PVP (Productionizable Viable Product) approach
    • · Real business use cases — HR onboarding, meeting automation, policy discovery

Certification

This training awards a certificate of completion. That is deliberately distinct from the Academy credential, which is earned through assessed applied work judged by a qualified assessor — taking part in a training is part of that pathway, and attendance alone is never sufficient. How certification works

Questions

Frequently asked

Do I need to be able to code?

No. Neither module assumes a coding background. Day 1 is about data, not programming; Day 2 teaches you to direct an AI coding agent rather than to type code yourself. If you already code, the method makes you faster and more reliable — it does not start you over.

Is Module 2 the same as the Learn Vibe Coding training?

Yes. Module 2 is the Learn Vibe Coding masterclass in full — the same six parts, from the same curriculum — followed by hands-on build time on your own idea that the half-day session does not have room for.

Can I take only Module 2?

Yes. Learn Vibe Coding is offered on its own as a half-day session for people who already know their data foundations. If you take it first and want the data half later, talk to us about dates and how that session counts towards this training.

What do I bring?

A laptop and one AI account — a free tier is enough. A GitHub account is optional but useful for the build time on Day 2. Bring a real idea, or a real dataset, if you have one: the hands-on time is yours.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes — a Certificate of Completion for this training, with a unique ID and a public verification page, issued on attending both days. It records completion of the training; it is not the Academy's earned credential.
