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. Before you write a single line of Python or touch a model registry, we map your academic strengths, cognitive style, financial bandwidth, and geographic target — then lock you into the one certification domain where you have the highest probability of success.
