About Scale Factory
We are an AI enablement consultancy. Delivering quality-led AI-first foundations, embedding capability and excellence into the foundational fabric of the companies we work with. We give leaders the confidence to move faster, take smarter risks and pursue transformation.
Formerly Ten10, we have deep roots in Quality which means we don’t just build for the future, we ensure it actually works. We combine this engineering discipline with cutting-edge AI expertise to deliver robust, scalable foundations that turn ambitious transformation into reliable reality.
About the AI Engineering Lab
The digital landscape is evolving faster than ever, and artificial intelligence is at the very heart of this transformation. We don’t just teach theory from a textbook; we empower the next generation of technical minds with elite skills to lead cutting-edge AI, machine learning, and advanced data projects.
The AI Engineering Lab is our specialist training programme designed to fast-track exceptional quantitative talent into world-class technical consultants. Following an initial training period where you’ll gain deep technical expertise and elite client-facing skills, you’ll be embedded in our Consulting delivery teams working on live projects and delivering immediate impact for our industry-leading clients.
The Programme Journey: How You’ll Grow
Our intensive 8-14 week technical enablement curriculum follows a rigorous, modular architecture designed to build both deep foundational knowledge and elite specialism:
Phase 0 – The Quality Gate & Pre-Learning (Up to 2 Weeks)
Before the main cohort kicks off, we evaluate your baseline competencies across programming, Linux, and cloud fundamentals. If there are any gaps, we’ll support you with up to two weeks of curated, self-paced pre-learning to ensure you enter the lab feeling confident and ready.
