FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes — signing up is free and takes about a minute. We have free courses you can complete in full, and every paid course includes free preview lessons so you can sample the teacher and structure before committing. If you start a paid course and want to finish it, upgrade to our all-access subscription for the entire catalog. Cancel any time; you keep access through the end of any period you've already paid for.
No. The curriculum is designed for any graduate — design, business, marketing, tech, or trades. If you can type, you can do this. Some courses introduce code progressively (only where useful for the deliverable); none assume you've written any before.
A laptop and a free account on ChatGPT or Claude. We walk through everything else together in Lesson 1 — accounts, tools, project setup, environment. No prior subscriptions or paid software required to get started.
You build real deliverables with structured guidance from a working practitioner, not a generalist explainer. Every lesson ends with a hands-on exercise you actually complete, and you finish each course with three things YouTube can't give you: a real shipped artifact (a game, an app, an automation), a Prompt Library you keep, and a LinkedIn-shareable verifiable certificate employers can confirm. We also revise lessons when the tools change, so you're never learning a 2023 workflow.
No. University AI courses teach how AI works under the hood — the math, the theory, the model architecture. This curriculum teaches you how to use AI professionally, right now, for real work. Both are valuable; this is the layer most degree programs were never designed to teach. We partner with universities and colleges to deliver it as the applied complement to their existing courses.
One subscription unlocks every course across every cohort — Youth, Higher Education, Professionals, and Enterprise. New courses are included automatically as they ship. Pick monthly or annual at signup; cancel any time. You keep full access through the end of any period you've already paid for, so there's no penalty for trying it. See current pricing →
Yes. Certificates of completion are issued under the AICS Academy imprint, an academic imprint of AI Canadian Solutions. Each certificate carries the course title, your name, completion date, and a verification URL so prospective employers can confirm authenticity. For partner institutions, we issue co-branded certificates carrying both your institutional imprint and ours.
Yes. We are actively partnering with continuing-education departments, undergraduate programs, and applied / polytechnic colleges to deliver this curriculum as elective or credit-bearing content. We provide curriculum mapping documentation for your articulation and registrar process. Start a partnership conversation here.
Yes — that's a core design goal of AICS Academy. We license curriculum to institutions for use in continuing-education programs, undergraduate electives, applied programs, and credit-bearing pathways.
