What holds this together
Rhythm, guardrails and milestones
Rhythm
- One unit at a time, four weeks at a time, five entry points a year.
- Mastery and resubmission both sit inside the block.
- A pause between blocks costs you nothing you have already earned.
Guardrails
- At 18 hours a week this model projects 4.5 blocks a year and completion around May 2032.
- 12 months of paid co-op are inside the degree, so plan for a placement stretch, not a study-only calendar.
- The Forward Core runs alongside your programme in every cycle. It is compulsory, so it is in the plan.
- Mentor contact is scheduled, not requested. Keep the slot even in a heavy week.
Milestones
- Week 1
- Baseline capability check, so progress is measured against where you actually started.
- Week 3
- First mastery attempt. A resubmission is expected, not a failure.
- End of block 3
- First rung of the credential ladder is in reach.
- May 2032
- Projected completion of Applied Artificial Intelligence at this pace.
