Two ways to learn neural networks — neither is wrong
At Heraventos, you pick the structure that fits your life. Some people learn faster alongside a group. Others need room to move at their own pace with a dedicated instructor. Both paths cover the same rigorous material on neural network architecture and applied AI systems.
What's actually included in each program
Every format covers convolutional networks, recurrent models, attention mechanisms, and real-world deployment — the difference is how you work through it.
Group Sessions
Scheduled cohort classes of 6 to 12 participants, held live via video with a shared workspace. You see how other learners approach the same architectural problem — that friction is part of the learning.
Fixed schedule · Cohort-basedPrivate 1-on-1 Coaching
Sessions built entirely around your current knowledge and target application — whether that's vision models, language model fine-tuning, or understanding attention layers in transformer stacks. The instructor adjusts week by week.
Flexible schedule · PersonalizedAdaptive Learning Paths
Before your first session, you complete a short diagnostic covering prerequisite math and programming concepts. The result shapes which modules you start with — no wasted time on things you already know.
Diagnostic-driven · ModularHands-on Project Work
Each program includes structured assignments using real datasets — image classification, sequence prediction, and architecture comparison tasks. Instructors review your code and explain what a production team would flag.
Real datasets · Code reviewHow a typical enrollment works
The process is straightforward — no trial sessions, no upsell sequences. You choose a format, get matched, and start within the same week in most cases.

Review the group and private options, then contact us via email or WhatsApp to confirm availability for your preferred start date.
Complete the intake diagnostic
A short written assessment covers linear algebra basics, Python familiarity, and your specific goals — takes about 20 minutes and shapes your starting module.
Get matched to an instructor
Based on your diagnostic and stated goals, we assign an instructor whose background aligns — a computer vision researcher won't be teaching NLP fundamentals.
Attend sessions and submit work
Live sessions run on a shared platform with screen sharing, collaborative notebooks, and a private channel for async questions between classes.
What participants say after completing a program
Results vary based on background and effort — these are honest accounts from people who finished either format.
The group format kept me accountable in a way solo study never did. Watching a classmate debug a broken backprop implementation live was more instructive than any written explanation I'd found.

I specifically needed to understand transformer architecture for a project at work. Private coaching let us skip the basics and spend four weeks entirely on attention mechanisms and positional encoding — that focus mattered.
