FAQ

Your questions, answered.

Eight of the most common questions we receive from Iraqi and regional professionals considering AI training.

No coding required. If you can use email and Word, you have enough background to succeed in our AI for Everyone programme. Every module is designed for professionals, not programmers. We teach you how to use AI effectively — not how to build it.
لا يلزم أي خبرة في البرمجة. إذا كنت تستطيع استخدام البريد الإلكتروني و Word، فأنت تمتلك ما يكفي للنجاح في برنامجنا. كل وحدة مصممة للمهنيين، وليس للمبرمجين.
Six weeks. One session per week. Two to three hours per week including practice exercises. Sessions are held evenings and weekends to accommodate working professionals. You do not need to take leave from your job.

Yes — we offer group rates for teams of 8 or more, and private cohorts delivered at your location in Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, or online. For ministries and state-owned enterprises, the AI for Government programme is designed specifically for organisation-wide rollout. Contact us through the application form.
You will work with ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Midjourney, and regional Arabic-language AI platforms. Sandbox access is provided throughout. We teach you to evaluate and switch between tools — not to become dependent on a single platform. The goal is AI fluency, not brand loyalty.
We cover bias detection in Arabic-language AI outputs, data privacy under Iraqi law, responsible AI frameworks for public sector procurement, and how to assess AI vendor claims critically. Ethics is not a standalone module — it is embedded in every week of the curriculum.
You can start alone, but structured courses cut learning time by 80% and ensure you learn what actually works in Iraqi business context — not random techniques from YouTube tutorials designed for a US audience. Our cohort model also gives you peers in similar roles to practice with, which accelerates everything.
