Pandai Open — Free, async, anyone
Twelve weeks. Twelve modules.Free.
The same curriculum we teach in-person. Watch any module. Ship the SHIP project. If you’re shipping by Module 6, you’re our kind of applicant for Cohort 2.

Why Pandai Open
A free curriculum, on purpose.
Pandai Open is the brand engine and the funnel. The cohort is what gets you placed; Pandai Open is what proves you can ship.
Free, no login.
Watch on YouTube. Code along. No signup wall. No "premium tier" upsell.
Same content as Cohort 1.
The cohort buys you operational simulation and placement, not better videos. The curriculum is identical.
A real funnel.
Top performers in Pandai Open get fast-tracked into Cohort 2 admissions. Ship work; we’re watching.
The 12 modules
One module per week. M0 through M11.
Foundations → AI building → specialization & placement. Each module ships a video, an exercise set, and a SHIP project.
Pre-week
Set up your engineer brain
Python or TypeScript fluency check. Git basics. Docker basics. API basics. Cursor + Claude.
Open module →Week 1
AI-First Coding & IDE
How to actually use Claude/Cursor day-to-day. Pair-coding patterns. When to trust the agent, when not to.
Open module →Week 2
LLM Fundamentals
Tokens, context windows, sampling. Why prompts feel brittle. The cost model.
Open module →Week 3
RAG
Embeddings, vector stores, retrieval pipelines. Failure modes. Eval harnesses.
Open module →Week 4
Agents I
Tool use, planning loops. Single-agent workflows. When agents over-engineer.
Open module →Week 5
Agents II + MCP
Multi-agent patterns. MCP servers. Authoring custom tools.
Open module →Week 6
Evals
Building eval harnesses. Regression suites for prompts. Calibration.
Open module →Week 7
Fine-tuning
When to fine-tune. Indonesian-language datasets. Cost vs benefit.
Open module →Week 8
Multimodal
Vision, audio. Indonesian-context examples (KTP/KK parsing, voice transcription bahasa).
Open module →Week 9
Specialization — five tracks branch
Choose your track. AI Engineer / Software / Data / Quality / Tech Operations.
Open module →Week 10
FDE skills
Forward-deployed engineering. How to embed in a client’s stack and ship.
Open module →Week 11/12
Real-client capstone + Demo Day
Build something a real BUMN partner uses. Demo it.
Open module →Module video URLs are owned by the Production Pillar — cards will deep-link to YouTube as each module ships.
SHIP projects
Ship every Friday. Public GitHub repo.Real users.
Each module has a SHIP project. You build it, you push it, you write a Loom walking through what you built and what you got wrong. Not assignments. Real shipped artifacts.
FAQ
Asked often.
- Do I need to register for Pandai Open?
- No. Watch anything, anytime, no signup. Pandai Open is a public YouTube curriculum.
- Is Pandai Open enough to get hired?
- Maybe. The cohort gives you the operational simulation (incidents, scope changes, on-call) and the anchor BUMN placement. Pandai Open gives you the AI engineering content. Both are useful; the cohort is what gets you placed.
- Can I apply to Cohort 1 if I haven’t done Pandai Open?
- Yes. We look at what you’ve shipped, regardless of where you learned. But the more SHIP projects in your application, the stronger.
- When do videos go live?
- Production Pillar is queueing them now. M0–M3 first; you’ll see them roll out over the coming weeks. [VERIFY: timeline]
