Programs
Courses build the skill. Programs prove it.
A program is not new content. It takes a required series of NuScienta courses and adds the human layer: a facilitator who teaches live, office hours where you ask real questions, and a practicum you have to pass. Finish it and you earn a certificate, not just a badge.
Some programs are enrolling. Others are still forming, so you can add your name to the waitlist and keep learning in the meantime.
- How to apply
Simple, private, free to apply.
You start courses and never finish
You have bookmarked the tutorials and watched a few. On your own, it rarely sticks, and it never quite gets finished.
You know the theory, not the doing
You can define the terms, but you have not actually built or shipped anything with AI in your real work.
A badge is not enough
You need more than a completion badge. You need a credential and proof you can point to that you did the work.
You are expected to lead on it now
People are turning to you for answers on AI, and you want judgment you can defend and peers who face the same calls.
That gap is exactly what a program closes: a facilitator, office hours, a real practicum, and a certificate. Find your program .
- How programs work
The difference between a badge and a certificate
Every course you finish earns a badge, at your own pace, on your own. A program wraps a required series of those courses in a live, facilitated experience, and that is what earns the certificate.
Course
Earns a badge
- Self-paced, learn on your own schedule
- No facilitator, no cohort required
- Great for building a specific skill fast
Program
Earns a certificate
- Cohort-based, with a facilitator teaching live
- Office hours plus a practicum you have to pass
- You finish with proof and something you built
Not sure which you need? If you want a skill on your own timeline, start with courses. If you want a certificate and a cohort, pick a program below.
Choose your program
Three ways in
Every program pairs a required series of courses with a facilitator, live office hours, and a practicum, so you finish in a cohort with a certificate to show for it.

AI Leadership for Public Servants
For everyone in public service.

Six weeks, about four hours a week (two hours live, two applied). You leave with a governance artifact you can actually use, a policy memo, a procurement framework, or a briefing deck, plus a peer network across government.

Frequently asked questions.
A course is self-paced and earns a badge. A program takes a required series of courses and adds a facilitator, live office hours, and a practicum you have to pass. Complete a program and you earn a certificate.
It says you completed a required series of courses, took part in the live sessions and office hours, and passed a practicum a facilitator assessed. A badge marks a single course you finished on your own; a certificate marks a full program completed in a cohort.
Continuing-education credit (CPE, CLE, HRCI, PMI, CME) is available for licensed professions on select programs. Each program confirms its accreditation and the full details when it opens, so you will know exactly what it counts for before you commit.
