Honest answers to
real questions.

Student membership is a one-time fee of $15. Professional membership is $29. Both are lifelong — no annual renewals, no surprise charges. You pay once and you're in forever.

AI Labs access, community forum, priority enrolment in all programs, invitations to weekly sprint sessions and networking events, access to the Jobs & Opportunities board, and discounts on future programs. It's the foundation everything else builds on.

Yes, anytime. You pay the difference ($14) and your membership upgrades immediately. Drop us a line at support@techopshub.com and we'll sort it out same day.

No prior AI experience needed. The school starts from engineering fundamentals and builds up. What you do need is solid problem-solving instincts and a genuine desire to be excellent — not just competent.

It means you'll graduate able to clear a technical interview at Google, Meta, Amazon, or any other top-tier company — and more importantly, able to do the job once you're there. Our curriculum is benchmarked against what those companies actually test and hire for.

Your choice. Join a live cohort (running every 3 months) for structure and accountability, or go self-paced with 6 months per module. Most people find a cohort keeps them sharper — but life is complicated and we respect that.

Real AI products — RAG chatbots with real users, fine-tuned models deployed to production, LLM-powered APIs, computer vision tools. Not toy projects or contrived exercises. Everything you build either ships to real users or contributes to an open-source codebase.

A hands-on experiment environment where school members run weekly model sprints, access shared GPU compute, work with real-world datasets, and build alongside a community of serious builders. Think of it as a research lab, a workshop, and a study group — all at once. Lab access is included with your membership.

No. Lab members get access to shared GPU resources. You bring a working laptop and a stable internet connection. Everything else is provided.

Our CTO, James Ochieng — an ex-FAANG AI engineer who left a high-paying role specifically to build the school he wished had existed. The Labs are his baby, and he treats every sprint like it matters.

Card via Stripe, bank transfer (USD), and mobile money (M-Pesa for Kenya). A payment link is sent once your application is approved. Payments are secure and processed immediately.

Membership fees are non-refundable — they're lifelong access. Program fees are refundable in the first 14 days. After that, no refunds but we do offer flexible deferral to the next cohort.

Yes. A limited number of full and partial scholarships are available each cohort for exceptional applicants demonstrating financial need. Applications are reviewed on merit and need. Apply through the scholarship form on the registration page.
