AI Pro Software Developer
Upskilling Course, 40-60 Academic Hours
Code Smarter. Lead Faster.
Why Enroll in this Course?
AI is reshaping how software is built. Software Developers need to know what to build, how to guide AI systems, and how to ensure quality, correctness, and outcomes. Developers who can define intent, design architecture, and control AI implementation are becoming the ones who deliver faster, scale better, and lead engineering teams into the next era.
Wawiwa’s AI Pro Software Developer course is a practical, instructor-led upskilling course designed for experienced Software Developers. It builds a new way of working: managing AI to produce high-quality code under clear guardrails. You’ll move toward higher-leverage ownership-architecture, decision-making, and outcomes – so you can deliver more, faster, and without writing every line of code yourself.
This course may also be suitable for juniors; however, additional time may be required to complete exercises and tasks, which may extend the overall course duration.
By enrolling in this course, you'll gain practical skills to design systems, guide AI tools, and deliver reliable software faster.
Who should attend?
- Backend, Frontend, or Full-Stack Developers
- Mid-level and senior Engineers responsible for delivery, system design, or architecture
- Technical leads and architects seeking repeatable AI-first development practices
- Engineers looking to shift from implementation-heavy work to higher-leverage ownership
Learning Goals and Outcomes
By the end of the course, participants will:
- Architect and plan systems using AI before writing code
- Delegate implementation to AI while maintaining full technical ownership
- Design, review, and validate AI-generated backend and frontend code
- Use advanced prompting, thread management, and model selection effectively
- Build production-grade systems with AI-assisted backend, API, and UI development
- Integrate AI-callable services and workflows into real-world applications
- Control quality, cost, risk, and observability in AI systems
- Apply a repeatable AI-first methodology that goes beyond specific tools and trends
What You'll Get...
- 40-60 academic hours of live classes with a professional instructor, teaching in your local language.
- Access to recordings of the sessions, in case you missed one or for reinforcement, for the duration of the course.
- Certificate of Completion, also a digital one for LinkedIn. Graduation requires attending at least 80% of the classes.
- Lifelong membership in Wawiwa’s global alumni community, made of tech professionals that graduated Wawiwa’s reskilling and upskilling programs around the world.
