Open-source first. Vendor-neutral. Globally recognised.
Important: All core academic and foundational training must be completed through a recognized and accredited university or academic institution. Al Nafi does not interfere with, replicate, or touch any university degree curriculum. Our Career Development Track works alongside your degree — not instead of it — by focusing on practical skills, industry readiness, and career direction that universities do not typically cover. for a formal university degree. All foundational academic training must be completed at a recognised academic institution.
Targeted Certification Frameworks
Comprehensive alignment with essential game design principles, gameplay systems, game mechanics, prototyping, level design, narrative design, game programming, game art, technical art, UI/UX, game audio, animation integration, multiplayer awareness, accessibility, QA, analytics, agile production, publishing, live operations, engine workflows, and professional game-development pathways. Focus is localized directly on clearing relevant international certification or vendor-learning routes concurrently with or immediately following your professional or academic tenure.

Sleek, downloadable presentations optimised for ultra-fast revision and memory recall before major evaluation milestones.
Operational-focused guides mapped against Linux Foundation, Hugging Face, and global ISO standards.
Sandboxed virtual environments pre-loaded with frameworks and datasets — build, train and deploy production-grade models.
Thousands of scenario-based questions with step-by-step rationales and real-time AI performance metrics.
Delivered across your degree — real cloud labs, 24/7 AI assistance and a career engine that grows with you semester by semester.
CDT unfolds in three stages across your full degree duration — from first touchpoint to a fully personalised career architecture.
Your introduction to the program — how CDT fits alongside your university degree.
A detailed 6-month program built specifically around your degree specialisation.
Once KYS is complete, the CDT engine generates a personalised career roadmap for the rest of your degree.
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.
Important: Students select exactly ONE target certification domain. Splitting focus across multiple frameworks dramatically reduces success rates.
Duration depends on which year you are in when you enrol. The earlier you start, the longer your CDT runs and the lighter your daily commitment.
| Year of Enrolment | CDT Duration | Daily Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Year | 48 months | 1 hour/day |
| 2nd Year | 36 months | 1–2 hours/day |
| 3rd Year | 24 months | 2–3 hours/day |
| 4th Year | 12 months | 3–4 hours/day |
| Year of Enrolment | CDT Duration | Daily Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Year | 24 months | 2–3 hours/day |
| 2nd Year | 12 months | 3–4 hours/day |
The total program fee is fixed regardless of the year you enrol — the duration shortens, so the same total is divided over fewer months. All fees include tax.
| Program | Year of Enrolment | Duration | Total Fees | Per-Month Fees |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate | 1st Year | 48 months | USD 1,700 | USD 35 |
| Undergraduate | 2nd Year | 36 months | USD 1,700 | USD 47 |
| Undergraduate | 3rd Year | 24 months | USD 1,700 | USD 71 |
| Undergraduate | 4th Year | 12 months | USD 1,700 | USD 142 |
| Postgraduate | 1st Year | 24 months | USD 1,700 | USD 71 |
| Postgraduate | 2nd Year | 12 months | USD 1,700 | USD 142 |
Why does the monthly fee increase if you join later? The total stays the same, but a shorter duration means the same amount is divided over fewer months. Enrolling early gives you the most affordable monthly rate.
