How long will it take me to complete the program?

The program is designed to fit into a flexible schedule, with a recommended commitment of 3 to 5 hours per week. You can break this down however suits you best, like dedicating 30 minutes a day.

On average, students complete the program and earn their certification in 3 to 4 months at this pace. However, you’ll have 12 months of access to all course content from the moment you enroll, allowing you to go at your own speed and revisit material whenever you need.

Once I start, how much time do I have to finish? How long will I have access to the content?

Once you enroll, you will have 12 months to complete the master’s content and submit your final project.

After the 12 months, you’ll still have access to the platform to enjoy the weekly masterclasses and stay connected with the community, but you will no longer be able to view the classes.

Can I do it at my own pace?

Of course! Our methodology is based on microlearning (short pre-recorded videos of 5 to 15 minutes) and practical activities, allowing each student to organize their time and progress at their own pace without fixed schedules.

Is there a minimum requirement for prior tech knowledge?

No, you don’t need any specific tech qualifications or educational level. The program is designed for all levels and backgrounds, regardless of technical experience.

In fact, one of the core principles of our collaborative approach is that we all learn from one another. With over 100,000 students from diverse backgrounds, everyone brings something unique to the table.

Is there a final certification?

Yes! Upon completing the program, you’ll receive the AI and Innovation certification, which you can easily export to LinkedIn. This certification is endorsed by both Microsoft and Founderz.

Additionally, as you progress through the program, you’ll earn official Microsoft Credentials that showcase your knowledge of AI tools.

Is it a university degree or master’s program?

No, our program is not a university degree or master’s. At Founderz, we provide specialized, hands-on training in AI with a focus on practical, job-ready skills. Upon completing the program and submitting your Final Project, you will receive a certification endorsed by both Founderz and Microsoft.

Can I start the program if I’m working or studying?

Absolutely! We've designed the program using a microlearning approach (short video lessons of 5 to 15 minutes) specifically so it can be balanced with work, other studies, and family.

While we do offer live events weekly (which are optional), they’re designed to fit around other commitments. Plus, we regularly ask the community for feedback on the best times to schedule them, so more students can attend. And don’t worry, all events are recorded and available on the platform, so you can watch them whenever it suits you.

Are the classes live? Do I have to log in at a specific time?

No, the classes are on-demand. That is, once you have access to the platform, you will be able to view all the classes at your own pace without needing to connect at any specific time to watch them.

Is it online or is there an in-person component?

The program is 100% online.

What methodology do we use? Are the classes pre-recorded?

Our methodology is built around four key pillars:

1. Short, pre-recorded lessons (5 to 15 minutes) taught by industry experts who are active professionals.

2. Practical assignments at the end of each module to help you apply what you’ve learned.

3. Weekly live masterclasses or events with program instructors to deepen your understanding.

4. Access to a vibrant Virtual Campus where you can engage and network with a community of over 100,000 professionals.

How does the evaluation work? Are there exams?

The evaluation is split into two parts:

1. Practical assignments at the end of each module, which you’ll share with the community and receive feedback. After submitting your work, you’ll be able to view your peers’ submissions and learn from them.

2. A final project at the end of the program that ties everything together, allowing you to combine your interests and put all the skills you’ve gained into practice.

No exams!

How can I be sure that the content is up-to-date when AI evolves so quickly?

We understand that AI is advancing at a rapid pace, with new tools and features emerging constantly. It's truly amazing how quickly things change, enabling us to achieve what seemed impossible just months ago.

That’s why we’re committed to keeping our content fresh and relevant, even if it means re-recording lessons or updating the curriculum with new tools.

Plus, our weekly live events with instructors give you a great opportunity to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and innovations in AI.

How many instructors are there? Are they active professionals?

We have over 25 instructors, all of whom are active professionals in the tech industry with extensive experience in AI. Many are also part of the Microsoft team.

What tools are studied during the program?

During the program, several AI tools are studied, focusing on various creative and business applications. These include, but are not limited to, ChatGPT for natural language processing and productivity tasks, GitHub Copilot for assisting developers with coding, and Microsoft 365 Copilot for enhancing everyday work tasks. Additionally, we also look at creative AI tools such as DALL-E 3, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, Kapwing, and Runway ML are explored for generating images, videos, and art. Many other tools are covered as well.

Do we get free access to paid tools as students?

All the tools studied during the program are free, or at least have free versions, so everyone can practice with them. Paid tools are not included in the program price.

What are the payment methods?

  • Credit or debit card
  • Bank transfer

Do you offer plans for companies or organizations?

Yes, we provide tailored plans for companies and organizations.

If you’re interested in bringing one of our programs to your team, please contact us at hola@founderz.com. We’ll work with you directly to design a plan that suits your needs and the number of employees you want to train.
