The CDT Journey

Three Guides. One Personalised Path.

CDT unfolds in three stages across your full degree duration — from first touchpoint to a fully personalised career architecture.

01
First Touchpoint

Discover CDT

Your introduction to the program — how CDT fits alongside your university degree.

  • What CDT is and how it runs parallel to your degree
  • What the 5 career pillars mean for you — Study, Employment, Immigration, Entrepreneurship, AI Infusion
  • Why starting in Year 1 gives maximum career advantage by graduation
02
First 6 Months

Degree-Mapped Program

A detailed 6-month program built specifically around your degree specialisation.

  • Your academic curriculum mapped to the relevant technology stack
  • An AI student gets a different first 6 months than a Cybersecurity or Data Science student
  • You complete your KYS (Know Your Student) profile — the engine that drives the rest of the journey
03
Remaining Degree Years

Fully Personalised

Once KYS is complete, the CDT engine generates a personalised career roadmap for the rest of your degree.

  • Content, certifications, labs and milestones tailored to your goals every semester
  • Employment in Canada or an MS in Europe — each goal gets its own roadmap
  • Not adaptive learning — personalised career architecture
KYS — Know Your Student

Mandatory Career Selection Strategy

The KYS engine is Al-Nafi's diagnostic backbone. Every candidate undergoes our proprietary profiling ecosystem — deep academic, cognitive, design aptitude, communication, and personal financial evaluation — then locks into the single certification domain with the highest probability of success.

Important: Students select exactly ONE target certification domain. Splitting attention across multiple conflicting design, research, accessibility, or technical frameworks dramatically drops success rates.

Program Duration

The Program Ends When Your Degree Ends

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.

Undergraduate

Year of EnrolmentCDT DurationDaily Time
1st Year48 months1 hour/day
2nd Year36 months1–2 hours/day
3rd Year24 months2–3 hours/day
4th Year12 months3–4 hours/day

Postgraduate

Year of EnrolmentCDT DurationDaily Time
1st Year24 months2–3 hours/day
2nd Year12 months3–4 hours/day
Fee Structure

Same Total Fee. Lower Monthly When You Start Early.

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.

Fee Structure

ProgramYear of EnrolmentDurationTotal FeesPer-Month Fees
Undergraduate1st Year48 monthsUSD 1,700USD 35
Undergraduate2nd Year36 monthsUSD 1,700USD 47
Undergraduate3rd Year24 monthsUSD 1,700USD 71
Undergraduate4th Year12 monthsUSD 1,700USD 142
Postgraduate1st Year24 monthsUSD 1,700USD 71
Postgraduate2nd Year12 monthsUSD 1,700USD 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.
