Live online · Amman time · Arabic and English

AI education for Jordan — from twelve-year-olds to graduates.

Live cohorts with a real instructor, taught in Arabic and in English. Four stages that carry a student from primary school to a first job, and work you can show someone at the end of it.

  • Evenings, Amman time
  • 18 students per cohort
  • Every session recorded

Every student price is published on this page. You should not have to fill in a form to find out what a course costs. Only institutions are quoted individually — a school cohort and a university elective genuinely differ.

Courses and prices

Four stages, one ladder.

Built around where Jordanian students actually are, not around a corporate catalogue. A child who starts with us at twelve should still have somewhere to go at twenty-two.

Stage 1 · Ages 9–13

Juniors: Make Something With AI

Arabic-first. Children build a story, a small game and a simple assistant — and learn to spot where these tools get things wrong. Parents get an end-of-course showcase, not a grade.

10 sessions · 5 weeks Arabic-first No coding
95 JOD per child
What is actually covered

Week 1–2 · what a machine actually does when it "understands" · Week 3 · build a story generator · Week 4 · build a simple game · Week 5 · build an assistant that answers questions about something the child chose. Throughout: finding where the tool is confidently wrong, and saying so out loud.

Stage 2 · Ages 14–18

Teens: Study Smarter, Then Choose Well

How to use AI to study without handing over your thinking — and an honest look at which university paths these tools are changing and which they are not. Scheduled around school.

8 sessions · 4 weeks Arabic or English Tawjihi years
120 JOD per student
What is actually covered

Week 1 · how these models are built, in plain terms — tokens, prediction, why they hallucinate · Week 2 · using AI to study without outsourcing the thinking, and how teachers can tell · Week 3 · research, sources and checking a claim · Week 4 · which university paths these tools are genuinely changing, and which they are not.

Stage 3 · University students

Undergraduates: Build a Portfolio, Not a Certificate

Runs alongside your degree. You finish with three real projects published on GitHub and the ability to explain them in an interview — which is the part that actually gets read.

12 sessions · 6 weeks Some coding Student rate applied
145 JOD 245 student rate, with any Jordanian student ID
What is actually covered

Weeks 1–2 · prompting as engineering, not luck · Weeks 3–4 · retrieval: giving a model your own documents and making it cite them · Week 5 · evaluation — how you prove an AI feature works instead of feeling that it does · Week 6 · three finished projects on GitHub and a README you can defend in an interview.

Stage 4 · Graduates

Graduates: Job-Ready in AI

The hardest stage, and the one Jordan most needs. A capstone against a real brief, CV and interview work, and an introduction to an employer where we genuinely have one to make.

16 sessions · 8 weeks Capstone project Career changers welcome
295 JOD per person · payable in three
What is actually covered

Weeks 1–2 · the stack end to end — model, context, tools, memory · Weeks 3–4 · agents that take actions, and the failure modes nobody warns you about · Weeks 5–6 · how models are actually trained: pre-training, fine-tuning, RLHF, and why most problems are solved with data rather than a bigger model · Week 7 · cost, latency and what breaks at scale · Week 8 · capstone against a real brief, reviewed by someone who ships this for a living.

On employer introductions: we make them where the relationship is real, and we do not publish a placement rate. Nobody at our stage honestly has one, and the figures you see advertised are usually counting the wrong thing.

Rates and who gets them
Who Rate How it works
Siblings 25% off the second child Juniors and Teens stages. Applied when you book both together.
University students 40% off A valid student ID from any Jordanian university. Already reflected in the 145 JOD above.
Unemployed graduates Three instalments, no fee Spread across the eight weeks. Just ask — it is not means-tested and nobody will make it awkward.
Schools, universities, employers Quoted Closed cohorts delivered for your students or staff. These genuinely vary, so they are the only thing we quote.

Under-18s are enrolled by a parent or guardian. Sessions are recorded and a guardian may ask for access at any time. Payment is by bank transfer or CliQ after we have spoken — see the questions at the bottom of the page.

The deep end

Where the ladder actually goes

Most AI courses stop at prompting and call it a profession. The fourth stage does not.

1 · The theory, properly

Tokens and embeddings. Why a transformer predicts rather than knows. What a context window really costs.

2 · What is true today

Where current models genuinely beat a person — and where they quietly do not.

3 · How a model is trained

Pre-training, fine-tuning, RLHF, evaluation — and why better data beats a bigger model.

The advanced track is being written and is not open yet. We will announce it when it has a date and a price, not before.

Who teaches

Taught by people who do the work.

Working practitioners, not career trainers. Someone who ships AI systems for a living can answer the question behind the question — and will tell a student when a tool is the wrong one for the job.

Practitioners, every session

The person in front of the cohort builds with these tools outside the classroom. Lessons are taught from work that actually shipped, including the parts that failed.

رُشد — Rushd, your AI instructor

<strong>Rushd is an AI instructor, not a person.</strong>

Rushd delivers the taught content in Arabic and English at the same standard every time, and is available between sessions.

One guest from the field, every cohort

A live hour with somebody doing the job the students want: an engineer, a founder, a hiring manager, a researcher. Unscripted, questions from the cohort.

Weekly office hours

An open hour each week, outside the lesson, for whatever is stuck. No ticket queue and no bot answering first.

Two sample lessons, unedited

The Arabic one matters most to us. Technical AI teaching in Arabic is rare, and doing it badly is worse than not doing it at all.

كيف تتعلّم الآلات — How Machines Learn

1:53Arabic

AI Basics

1:52English

Between sessions, enrolled students work inside a learning platform — lessons, exercises, graded assessments and a tutor available when the instructor is asleep.

Always reachable

Stuck at eleven at night? Photograph it and send it.

The tutor meets you where you already talk — type it, say it, or photograph it.

Write it

A question at any hour, in Arabic or English — including the mix of both people actually type.

Live

Say it

Send a voice note — the difference between asking and giving up.

Live

Photograph it

A textbook page, a line of code that will not run, a diagram from class.

Live

On WhatsApp

Enrolled students get the tutor on WhatsApp — no new app, no password to lose.

At enrolment

And eventually, just call it

Not open yet — being built, and it will be announced when it works.

Coming
Everything marked Live works today. Coming means exactly that.

Free, and genuinely free

Three things you can have without paying us anything.

Not a funnel with a timer on it. If the free tier is all you ever use, that is a perfectly good outcome.

The weekly AI brief

One email a week, in Arabic and English: what changed, what it means for someone studying or working in Jordan, and what is safe to ignore.

A free open session, monthly

A full live hour, open to anyone, on one useful topic. Same instructor, same platform, no sales pitch at the end of it.

The Arabic AI glossary

Plain Arabic definitions for the terms that are usually left in English — model, token, prompt, fine-tuning, hallucination. Free to download, free for teachers to reuse.

No card. No trial that bills you.

The weekly brief

One email a week. Arabic and English.

What actually changed in AI this week, and what it means for someone studying or working in Jordan. Written by the person who teaches the courses.

Submitting this form is your consent to receive the weekly brief. One email a week, nothing else, unsubscribe link in every issue. We do not sell or share the list.

Schools, universities, employers

Designed to plug into institutions, not to compete with them.

A school feeds the junior and teen stages. A university co-delivers the undergraduate and graduate ones. An employer takes the people who finish. The four stages above were built with that in mind.

Schools — an after-school cohort

We run the Juniors or Teens stage for your students as a closed group, online, on your timetable. The school keeps the relationship with the parents; we keep the teaching.

Talk to us about a cohort →

Universities — a co-delivered elective

We supply the curriculum, the labs and the platform. The faculty supplies academic oversight and the credit hours. Your name goes on the transcript, not ours.

Start a faculty conversation →

Employers — team enablement

Closed cohorts for your staff, plus an internal AI-use policy your legal team can actually sign off. Stated plainly: this work subsidises the student prices above.

These slots are empty because we have not signed a partnership yet, and we are not going to imply otherwise. A logo appears here only when there is a signed agreement and a named contact who has agreed to appear. No borrowed client logos, no "as featured in", no accreditation badges we did not earn.

Book a call

Fifteen minutes, free, no obligation.

Three different conversations, so there are three different forms. Pick the one that fits and we reply within one working day.

Fields marked * are required. Everything else is optional and only helps us prepare for the call.

Under-18s are enrolled by a parent or guardian, who signs for them.

We reply within one working day. Your details are used to answer this enquiry and nothing else — no mailing list, no resale, no third party.

Questions

The things people ask before they pay.

Is this accredited?

No, and we will keep saying so until it is. You receive a JoAI Academy certificate of completion that describes the work you actually did — it is not a national accreditation and we will not dress it up as one. Where a stage prepares you for a third-party exam, that certificate comes from the vendor, not from us. We would rather lose the enrolment than have you discover this later.

Is everything online?

Yes — every stage is live online, on Amman time, with a real instructor present. Sessions are recorded and stay available to the cohort. We would rather run one good online cohort than a thin classroom in one neighbourhood of Amman.

How do I pay?

Bank transfer or CliQ, after we have spoken and your place is confirmed. There is no card checkout on this site yet — we would rather tell you that than build a fake payment button. Full refund if you withdraw before the second session. Graduates who are between jobs pay in three instalments; just say so on the call.

How big is a cohort?

Capped at 18. Above that the labs stop working and the instructor stops knowing who is lost. A cohort nobody can teach is not a saving, it is a refund waiting to happen.

My child is 9 — is that too young?

Nine is the floor, and it works when the child can read comfortably in Arabic and sit through an hour. The Juniors stage needs no coding and no typing speed — they build a story, a small game and an assistant, and they learn to catch the tool when it is confidently wrong, which is the part that lasts. If you are unsure, book the call and we will tell you honestly whether to wait a year.
