Frequently asked questions
How much does the program cost?
We quote on a call rather than publishing a figure, because the price depends on the format you pick — live online, onsite, or a private cohort for a team — and because we would rather check the programme is right for you before talking about money. An advisor goes through what it covers, what you will be able to do at the end, and the prerequisites, and then gives you the exact price and the payment options. It takes about twenty minutes and there is no obligation. Request it from the form on this page.
When does the next cohort start?
New cohorts open regularly, online and onsite, and we confirm dates on the same call as the price — partly because they move, and partly because the right date depends on which format suits you and whether you meet the prerequisites yet. Ask on the form and an advisor will give you the next available starts that fit your schedule.
Is the program online or onsite, and in which language?
Both — Epsilon runs live, instructor-led sessions online and onsite, plus dedicated corporate cohorts. Programs are delivered in English and Arabic, with bilingual materials and instructor support. Tell us your preference in the registration form.
What certificate will I receive?
A globally accredited certificate from Epsilon AI Learning — USA, carrying a unique Certificate ID and Epsilon ID. It is awarded on 80% attendance, an 80% final exam, and a completed capstone project, and it is verifiable online.
