Shape Your Work in AI — Starting Where You Are

Three structured tracks — from evening Python foundations to a shipped AI system — designed for people who hold down a full working day and want to build something solid alongside it.

Three Tracks

From Cold Start to Shipped System

Each track is a billet with a published intensity table. Nobody enrols without reading the weekly hour count and assessment load first.

WS-001 · 8 weeks · 7 hrs/week

Cold Start: Foundations

Python, the command line, version control, data handling and enough statistics to read a result honestly. Taught in the evenings at a pace that assumes a full working day beforehand.

Weekly exercises with written feedback
Recorded library access
Staffed cohort channel
Twice-weekly office hours
Written record of course completion

WS-002 · 16 weeks · 12 hrs/week

Hot Work: Applied Model Development

Model architectures, training loops, fine-tuning, evaluation design and the engineering that surrounds them. Intensity table published before enrolment — no surprises after you join.

Four assessed projects
Tutor code review
GPU credits included
Architecture clinics

What Sets Weightsmith Apart

Built for Working Adults, Not Full-Time Students

Evening Pacing

Sessions run in the evenings. The weekly hour count is stated before enrolment, not discovered mid-track. You keep your day job while you build the skill.

Honest Intensity Tables

Every track publishes its weekly hours and assessment load before you sign up. Numbers are not softened. You decide whether the load fits your schedule.

Code Review on Real Work

Applied tracks include tutor code review on submitted projects — not automated grading. Feedback addresses your specific implementation choices.

GPU Credits Provided

Hot Work includes GPU credits so training runs are not limited by your personal hardware budget. You practise on the same kind of infrastructure used professionally.

Written Completion Record

Each track issues a written record of course completion. It states what was covered, the assessment outcomes and the hours logged — specific enough to be useful on a portfolio.

Alumni Network Access

Tempering graduates receive introductions to the alumni network and continuing forum access. The community is small enough that introductions are actual introductions.

Next Cohort

Which track fits where you are right now?

Start with the Cold Start foundations if Python is new to you. Move to Hot Work once you can read and write code with some confidence. Tempering is for people who want to end with a working system they built themselves.

Common Questions

What People Ask Before Enrolling

Do I need any coding experience before Cold Start?

Cold Start begins with Python from scratch and introduces the command line as part of the first two weeks. If you have used a spreadsheet and are comfortable installing software, you have enough to begin. Prior coding experience is not a prerequisite — though it does affect how long the first few exercises take you.

Can I take Hot Work without completing Cold Start first?

Yes. Hot Work has a stated entry standard — you should be able to write and read Python comfortably, use version control and understand basic statistical language such as mean, variance and distribution. If you already meet that standard from elsewhere, Cold Start is not required. We recommend a short self-assessment exercise before enrolment; the team can advise based on your background.

What does the intensity table actually show?

It lists weekly hours by activity type — live session time, asynchronous study, exercise completion and project work — and flags assessment weeks where the load is heavier. Cold Start averages seven hours per week. Hot Work averages twelve, with two live sessions included. Figures are not rounded down.

Are the live sessions recorded if I miss one?

Live sessions are recorded and added to the cohort library within 24 hours. You can watch at any time during the track. Missing a session does not forfeit your standing, but cohort channel questions during that session's window are not paused — the recording gives you the content, not the live discussion thread.

What is the payment arrangement?

Fees are stated in Malaysian Ringgit. Cold Start is RM 465, Hot Work is RM 1,880 and Tempering is RM 4,070. Payment is collected before the cohort opens. Instalment arrangements for longer tracks can be discussed when you make an enquiry. Contact us via the form below or by phone.

Where is Weightsmith based, and are sessions fully online?

Weightsmith is registered and operated from Melaka, Malaysia. All three tracks run online — there are no compulsory in-person sessions. You can attend from anywhere with a stable internet connection. Occasional optional meetups are held in Melaka for Tempering participants near the end of the programme.

How is my personal information handled?

Enrolment information is used to manage your cohort placement and communicate course logistics. It is not sold or shared with advertisers. Full details are in the Privacy Policy. If you have specific questions about data handling, write to [email protected].
