FDE Career Accelerator - FCA Course
110-Hour Enterprise AI, Data & Platform Engineering Program. Master Linux, Python, SQL, ETL, BigQuery, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, and AI/RAG with 70% hands-on labs, real-world FDE missions, and a 10-hour capstone.

Course Overview
The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) Career Accelerator is an intensive 110-hour, 70% hands-on enterprise-grade engineering program designed to bridge the gap between code and client success. FDEs don't just learn tools in isolation—they take enterprise problems from requirement and architecture through data pipelines, AI/RAG, application microservices, cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, CI/CD DevSecOps pipelines, security, and production troubleshooting. Built around the 6-stage methodology (Learn → Build → Break → Troubleshoot → Secure → Deploy), the course features 50 hours of hands-on labs/FDE missions simulating real enterprise failures and culminates in a 10-hour Enterprise AI Knowledge Platform Capstone.
