Program Duration

The Earlier You Start, the Greater the Advantage

Duration depends on the year you enrol — the program ends when your degree ends.

Undergraduate

1st Year Enrolment 1 hour/day
48 months
2nd Year Enrolment 1–2 hours/day
36 months
3rd Year Enrolment 2–3 hours/day
24 months
4th Year Enrolment 3–4 hours/day
12 months

Postgraduate

1st Year Enrolment 2–3 hours/day

The program completes when either the full duration ends or the 1,400 hours of course content are consumed — whichever comes first.

Fee Structure

One Total Fee. Lower Monthly the Earlier You Join.

The total program fee is fixed regardless of the year of enrolment. Because the duration shortens, the same total is divided over fewer months — enrolling early gives the most affordable monthly rate.

KYS — Know Your Student

Mandatory Career Selection Strategy

The KYS engine is Al-Nafi's diagnostic backbone. Every candidate undergoes our proprietary profiling ecosystem — deep academic, cognitive, design aptitude, communication, and personal financial evaluation — then locks into the single certification domain with the highest probability of success.

Deep academic evaluation profilingCognitive & financial assessmentSingle domain lock-in strategyLaser-focus = higher success rates

Important: Students select exactly ONE target certification domain. Splitting attention across multiple conflicting design, research, accessibility, or technical frameworks dramatically drops success rates.
