Our mission

Baham Academy: the school that lifts your architects to boardroom level.

We train enterprise architects and their teams to decide on AI: triage use cases, settle buy vs build, cost, secure and govern. We train, we do not consult: we never run your projects for you. One programme, one target role — AI Enterprise Architect — taught by a practising architect.

Our mission is not to teach you AI. It is to make your architecture function decisive at the moment the company commits millions to AI: decisions that hold up in front of a board, reusable deliverables, and a path from solution architect to C-level strategist.

1 roletargeted, not a catalogue: AI Enterprise Architect
3 dayscovering method, technical depth and certification
36 deliverablesfilled in on your own organisation, not fictional exercises
Taught by a practitioner

An enterprise architect currently running an AI portfolio in production, not a catalogue trainer.

Step by step

Ten modules, one running case study, one deliverable produced at each step and reusable on Monday.

Certified and aligned

Three levels, and a blueprint aligned with TOGAF® ADM, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act.

The target role

The job is called AI Enterprise Architect. Here is what it asks for.

From Solution Architect to C+ Level Strategist.

This programme does not teach a theory: every module answers a requirement that recurs in the job ads published today for this role — design, integrate, secure, cost, govern.

Questions

The three most common

Who is it for, and who is it not for?

Enterprise and IT architects, Heads of EA, AI and data governance leads, with at least 3 years of experience. This is not a data science course.

Do you need to code?

No. You read architectures, arbitrate and cost them. Block B stays technical but never asks you to write code.

When are the live sessions?

Dates go to the waiting list first, with a founding rate for the first cohort. In-house sessions run whenever suits you.

Free · no sign-up

The AI use-case triage grid

The module 01 deliverable, on one page: the six questions that decide whether a case belongs to rules, a hybrid or AI. Ask for it and you get it the same day.
