1-Year Programmes
Two routes, twelve months each, full time and intensive. Both are built around producing something by the end: a venture you have launched publicly, or an automation running inside a real business.
Both carry a TIIB certificate rather than a Pearson award, and both cost AED 40,000 for the year. Applied AI is additionally endorsed by QUALIFI (UK); the Launchpad is not. The two-year HNDs are AED 40,000 per year, so this route costs one year of that and finishes sooner. What you give up is a qualification that transfers into the final year of a UK degree.
One year, one venture. You develop a single business idea from first sketch to a public launch event where you pitch it to investors, partners and press. Mentors sit with you throughout, and the year doubles as a career foundation if the venture is not the end goal.
See the programmeA year spent making AI do work inside a business: automating a process, building a decision tool, measuring whether it saved anything. Less model theory than the HND, more implementation, and it ends with a capstone deployed in a real or simulated operation. No advanced programming required.
See the programmeThe Career Launchpad also appears under Business, and Applied AI under Digital Technologies, because that is where people look for them. Same programme, one page.
It suits someone with a specific thing they want built by this time next year, and the appetite to work at that pace to get it.
Set against a two-year HND, it is half the time, and what you leave with is a TIIB certificate rather than a qualification a university will read. Set against a four-month programme, it goes much deeper, with a placement inside the year and a final project you deliver for real.
The Level 3 diploma runs six months and feeds an HND.
The finder will say which. Four questions, and it reads the whole catalogue rather than this page.
The placement, the employer network and the counselling around both.
What the fee covers, what it does not, and how instalments work.
About ten minutes, and your answers save as you go.
Both routes start at the next intake and run intensively from day one. If you are weighing one against a two-year HND, admissions will put the two side by side.
An admissions counsellor replies within one working day.
A few keep the site working. The rest tell us which pages and adverts actually help people find the right programme. You can change this any time from the footer.
