// AI Development School · Penang
Programmes for people who want to understand AI — not just use it.
Bijak offers carefully structured courses in natural language processing, computer vision, and AI ethics. Paced for working professionals, with individual feedback and small-group sessions.
// Programmes
Three programmes, each with its own pace.
Each course is designed around a specific area of applied AI work. Descriptions below reflect what the programme actually covers — no inflated claims.
Natural Language Processing Programme
Covers tokenisation, embeddings, transformer architectures, and fine-tuning. Paced for professionals with intermediate Python experience. Weekly project reviews included.
- Transformer architectures and pre-trained models
- Individual weekly project feedback
- Small-group exploration sessions
Computer Vision Foundations
Image representation, convolutional architectures, and vision transformer approaches. Designed for modest hardware — weekly office hours for questions.
- Hands-on practice with small datasets
- Runs on standard laptop hardware
- Weekly office hours with instructor
Short Course: AI Ethics for Developers
Data provenance, bias and fairness, transparency, and accountability — with a focus on practical project decisions rather than abstract debate.
- Practical framework for ethical decisions
- Case studies from real AI projects
- Suitable for engineers and developers
// Why Bijak
How the programmes are structured.
A few things that shape the approach here — worth reading if you're deciding whether this fits your situation.
Designed around working hours
Sessions and deadlines account for the reality of full-time work. You won't need to clear your calendar to participate.
Individual project feedback
Weekly submissions are reviewed individually — not with a rubric, but with specific observations on your approach and code.
Modest hardware requirements
Courses use datasets and model sizes that run on a standard laptop. Cloud compute is optional, not required.
Small cohort sizes
Each intake is kept small so that group sessions remain genuinely useful — not just lectures with a larger audience.
Curriculum without inflation
Topics are chosen for their practical relevance. If something isn't useful to working developers, it's not in the syllabus.
Based in Penang
Bijak operates from Bayan Lepas, Penang. In-person sessions are available for cohorts when schedules allow.
