Curriculum Map
Working hypothesis — HVE is the spine; product tracks are where the method gets applied.

Role paths × product tracks
Roles are mixed (see Learner Personas): everyone shares the HVE + scenario core, then branches by role. Product tracks go deep for technical roles and stay at the “what it enables” level for delivery roles.
Tracks
| Track | Primary persona | Core question it answers |
|---|---|---|
| HVE | Everyone (consulting firm engineers & architects) | How do we engineer with agents, repeatably and safely? |
| Github Copilot | Developers | How do we ship software faster without losing quality? |
| Foundry | AI / app engineers | How do we build, evaluate, and run AI agents in production? |
| Fabric | Data engineers / analysts | How do we get AI-ready data and analytics on one platform? |
Levels (proposal)
- L1 Foundations — exec/manager-friendly + hands-on basics (½–1 day)
- L2 Practitioner — role-based hands-on workshop (2–3 days) → our certification
- L3 Frontier — capstone across tracks + graded practical → credential (see Certification and Assessment Design)
Capstone scenario
Learners are consultants, so the workshop spine is a mock client engagement (borrowed from Claude Frontier Academy): use-case discovery → architecture → build with HVE → evals & security review → handover to the client team. Draft scenario: a regional insurer wants an agent to triage claims. It uses Fabric for the claims data, Foundry for the agent, and Copilot + HVE to build and ship it. This is Frontier’s own FDE model, taught.
