Listing methodology
How we choose, check, order and correct the programmes, salaries and resources listed on Forward Deployed Course.
These rules apply to every listing on the site, including providers we have a relationship with.
What gets listed
A programme is listed when it names the Forward Deployed Engineer role or teaches its core stack (applied AI, integration and client delivery) as one programme, and publishes enough information to fill our spec fields.
How facts are checked
- Fees come from the provider's own published page and are re-checked monthly. Every fee carries the date it was checked.
- "+ GST" means 18% GST is added at checkout.
- When a provider does not publish a fact, we write "On request" or "Not stated". We never estimate.
How lists are ordered
The spec sheet sorts by fee, high to low, unless you filter it. Order is never paid. Sponsored slots are labelled "Sponsored", limited to two per hub, and always sit above the ranked list.
Salary data
A salary band appears only when at least 10 job postings that list pay support it. Public FDE salary figures for India disagree widely, so until that threshold is met the band reads "Pending".
Reviews
Each review checks a provider's claims against its own documents. Learner reviews come from verified alumni only.
Corrections
