They showed up scared too. And in 2 days their life changed forever.
The context
45,000+ Tech Jobs Cut in Q1 — But AI Hiring Jumped 340%
The paradox: While Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft announce massive layoffs, companies are desperately hiring for one specific skill — and they can't find it.
68% of Global Tech Layoffs Hit the US in 2026
San Francisco & Seattle are reeling — but demand for AI testing professionals has never been higher.While 9,200 Roles Disappear, One Skill Is on Fire
Every company pivoting to AI needs professionals who can test, validate, and secure their systems."I didn't know what a terminal was. Nine days after the event I had two job interviews lined up. I genuinely didn't think this was for someone like me."

FAQStill on the fence? Good.
Still on the fence? Good.
That means you're thinking.
I have zero coding experience. Is this really for me?+
This event was specifically designed for people who think it wasn't designed for them. You don't need to know a single line of code before you walk in. Our instructors are embedded in every group, guiding you step-by-step. Past attendees include operations managers, product managers, and marketing analysts who had never opened a terminal before.
Can my employer pay for this?+
Absolutely. Most companies have professional development budgets that cover exactly this kind of training. We provide an employer reimbursement letter template that makes the business case for you. Teams of 3+ from the same company also get 15% off every ticket.
What's the schedule for both days?+
Both days run from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM PST at College of San Mateo. Day 1 (April 11) is the Build Hackathon — you create a real AI testing project from scratch. Day 2 (April 12) is Break the AI — structured adversarial testing methodology, and your personalized 3-year career roadmap.
What if I can't attend both days?+
Both days are designed to work together. Day 1 builds the foundation, Day 2 certifies you. To earn your ECAT credential and get the full transformation, attendance on both days is required. It's only two afternoons — and it could redefine the next three years of your career.
Is there a money-back guarantee?+
If you show up, participate fully in both days, and don't feel it was worth the investment — talk to us. We're building a reputation, not collecting refunds. But we stand behind the value of this experience because we've seen what it does for people.
Are you going to be in that room?
Only 20 seats. Two days. The one skill the AI economy is desperate for and the room where everything changes.
