Frequently Asked Questions

The Precision AI Academy bootcamp is a 2-day, in-person, applied AI training intensive taught by Bo Peng — a Kaggle Top 200 data scientist with 400+ students trained across 15 university classes. You'll learn prompt engineering, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), AI agents, automation workflows, and how to build full-stack AI applications. The bootcamp focuses on practical, hands-on skills you can apply at work immediately.

The bootcamp is 2 full days, Thursday and Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day. This condensed Thu–Fri schedule is designed so you only need to take 2 days off work, and you have the weekend immediately after to practice what you learned.

The bootcamp runs in 5 major U.S. cities in 2026: New York City, Dallas, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Denver. Each city hosts one cohort. Exact venue addresses are shared with registered students 2 weeks before their session.

The 2026 schedule is:

NYC — June 18–19 (Thu–Fri)
Dallas — July 16–17 (Thu–Fri)
Los Angeles — August 20–21 (Thu–Fri)
Chicago — September 17–18 (Thu–Fri)
Denver — October 15–16 (Thu–Fri)

$1,490 per seat, all-inclusive. That covers 2 full days of expert instruction, lunch both days, coffee and snacks, all course materials, and a certificate of completion. There are no hidden fees or upsells.

Everything you need for 2 days of learning: expert instruction by a Kaggle-ranked data scientist, lunch on both days, coffee and snacks throughout the day, all course materials and slide decks, hands-on project files, and a certificate of completion. No hidden fees.

Yes. If you're not satisfied at the end of Day 1 (Thursday), request a full refund before 9:00 AM Friday morning. No questions asked, no hoops to jump through. We want you to feel confident in your investment.

Each cohort is capped at 20 students maximum. Small class sizes mean you get direct access to the instructor, personalized feedback on your projects, and a more collaborative learning environment.

The 2-day curriculum covers: prompt engineering fundamentals and advanced techniques, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agents and multi-agent systems, no-code and low-code AI automation, building full-stack AI applications, AI for business analysis and decision-making, and hands-on projects you complete during the session.

No programming experience is required. The bootcamp is designed for working professionals across all industries. You should be comfortable using a computer, a web browser, and typing. We teach you everything else from the ground up, including any code you'll use during the hands-on exercises.

Working professionals in any industry who want to apply AI in their day-to-day work. This includes managers, analysts, consultants, government employees, engineers, marketers, lawyers, healthcare professionals, and anyone else who wants to stop watching AI from the sidelines and start using it.

The bootcamp is designed for intermediate learners — professionals who may have tried ChatGPT or other AI tools casually, but want structured training on how to use AI systematically and effectively at work. Complete beginners will keep up fine. Advanced users will still learn new techniques, especially around RAG, agents, and automation workflows.

Our students come from a wide range of industries: technology, finance and banking, healthcare, government and defense, legal, consulting, education, marketing, real estate, and more. The curriculum is designed to be industry-agnostic — the AI skills you learn apply everywhere.

Yes, and many do. Under IRS Section 127, employers can provide up to $5,250 per year in tax-free educational assistance to employees. The bootcamp at $1,490 fits well within that limit. Federal employees can also use GSA purchase cards. We provide a W-9, invoice, and any documentation your employer's HR or L&D department needs.

If you need to cancel, you can transfer your seat to any other city cohort in the 2026 season at no extra cost, subject to availability. We understand schedules change — we'd rather move you to a different city than lose you entirely.

Parking availability varies by city and venue. After you register, you'll receive a detailed logistics email 2 weeks before your session with venue address, parking options, nearby public transit, and hotel recommendations if you're traveling in.

Bring a laptop with the Chrome browser installed. That's it. Everything else — course materials, lunch, coffee, snacks, power strips, Wi-Fi — is provided. We recommend Chrome because some of the AI tools we use work best in that browser.

Yes. Lunch is provided both days, along with coffee, water, and snacks throughout the day. If you have dietary restrictions, let us know when you register and we'll accommodate you.
