PREREQUISITES / FDE PRACTITIONERS

Prerequisites and preparation

This is an engineering and delivery course for FDE practitioners. Your background changes preparation priorities, not the final standard.

Before you begin

Run and modify local programs, understand tables and APIs, track changes in Git and write basic tests. Python or TypeScript, SQL and HTTP/JSON are recommended.

Entry check

  1. Read a CSV; check nulls and duplicates.
  2. Write SQL; explain denominators, windows and empty results.
  3. Call a function, validate parameters and handle errors.
  4. Run tests and explain a change in Git.

Turn a business incident into objects, definitions, ownership and acceptance.

BACKGROUND & PREPARATION

Data / AI engineering

Strengthen action states, integration, operations and scope management.

Preparation evidence

Demonstrate replay, unknown outcomes, denial and recovery.

BACKGROUND & PREPARATION

Solutions / implementation

Strengthen Python, SQL, APIs, Git, tests and model tool use; documents do not replace code.

Preparation evidence

Independently run, change and explain an adapter and business tool.

Complete the entry check before starting if coding is new to you. Business and domain specialists can participate in interviews and reviews, but documents and attendance do not replace FDE engineering requirements.
