How we set our fees
What is in a fee, and how it is set
2. Convert to a per-week fee
Price ÷ weeks gives a number that works for a 6-week course and a 6-month diploma alike. The median resists a single very cheap or very expensive outlier.
3. Add our infrastructure cost
Our programme fee is the median per-week rate multiplied by the length of the course. We add 15% for infrastructure: the GPU lab compute we run on our own hardware, which is included in your fee. Other formats are a fixed multiple: self-paced ×0.40, hybrid weekend ×1.10, live in-person ×1.30.
Median per-week fee of the comparable programmes below: ₹3,196 (India, as quoted) and CA$528 (Canada). Every fee on this page already includes the infrastructure charge; rupee fees are quoted before GST.

Ten questions to ask any provider
Is the fee per course or per programme?
Ours is per course. Divide any programme fee by its weeks to compare.
Is tax included?
Ours excludes GST (India) and sales tax (Canada); the all-in amount is shown on every course page.
Is teaching live or recorded?
Live formats include scheduled live classes; the self-paced format is recorded with a mentor-review add-on.
What is the mentor ratio?
Live formats run at 1 mentor to 8 learners for code review.
Is compute included?
Our GPU labs run on our own hardware from any device; you do not buy cloud credits.
Are labs and assessments graded?
Every course has graded, test-checked labs and a reviewed capstone.
What do you get at the end?
A CapabilityNext certificate on capstone completion. We make no placement or salary guarantee.
What is the weekly time commitment?
Plan on 8-12 hours per week alongside live sessions.
Can I pay in instalments?
Up to 3 on live formats; ask your advisor which plan fits your start date.
What could this cost me beyond the fee?
Nothing hidden in our fee; you need only a device and a browser.
