Eight weeks from now, you've shipped your first AI product. Live online classes every weekend, taught in English with Urdu explanation — no prior coding experience required.
Not a tutorial you watched. Not a course you bookmarked and never finished. A working AI chatbot, deployed on the internet, with your name on it — and the Python skills to build the next ten. That's what Foundations is for: the moment AI stops happening to you and becomes something you make.

The BuilderLevel 1
Foundations turns you into a builder — someone who can open a terminal, write Python that talks to GPT-class models, and turn an idea into a working tool in a weekend. You will understand what AI actually is beneath the hype, speak the language of tokens and prompts fluently, and have deployed projects to prove it. This is the identity every level above is built on.
Transform someone with zero technical knowledge into someone who can think logically, write Python programs, use Git, consume APIs, understand AI fundamentals, and build simple AI applications.
Identify a real problem, understand the business need behind it, gather requirements, then scope, build, and ship one complete AI product end to end — a chatbot, FAQ assistant, or AI-powered tool — deployed, documented, and defended for certification.
Walk out of Foundations and these are no longer ideas — they are weekend projects:
None. A laptop and willingness to learn is everything you need.

Fees, schedule, language, prerequisites, and what the credential is worth — answered plainly, including the answers that might talk you out of applying.
Yes. Foundations assumes no programming background at all — Module 3 starts from variables, loops and functions in Python. The only requirements are a laptop and the commitment to attend the weekend classes. There is no entry test, no degree requirement, and no maths prerequisite.
The fee is PKR 40,000 for students in Pakistan, or $65 / £50 internationally. That covers all 8 weeks, 40+ video lessons, 6 hands-on projects, live weekend instruction, and the certificate assessment. Installment options are available — ask about them during your application. Fees are non-refundable once enrollment is confirmed.
All classes are live online, so you can join from Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, or anywhere with a stable internet connection. Panabotics is based at Arfa Software Technology Park in Lahore, but this program has no on-campus requirement and no relocation is needed.
Live classes run every Saturday and Sunday from 12:00pm to 3:00pm Pakistan Standard Time — 6 hours of live instruction per week and 48 hours across the 8-week program. The weekend schedule exists so working professionals and university students can attend without missing office or lectures.
Classes are taught in English with Urdu explanation. You learn the industry vocabulary you will actually meet in documentation, GitHub issues, and job interviews, while difficult concepts get explained in the language you think in. All written material, code, and assignments are in English.
Yes — you earn the Panabotics Certified AI Foundations Developer (PCAFD) credential. It is awarded on assessment rather than attendance: you must complete the final capstone, ship a working AI product, and defend it. Watching the lessons alone does not earn the certificate.
You will have deployed a working AI product with a public URL — typically an AI chatbot, an FAQ assistant, or an AI-powered internal tool. You will be able to write Python, call the OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini APIs, build FastAPI backends, and ship text summarisers, AI CLI tools and simple AI APIs on your own.
Neither is required. Python is taught from scratch inside the course, and Foundations covers AI concepts — tokens, embeddings, prompting, retrieval — at a practical engineering level rather than through the underlying mathematics. You do not need calculus or linear algebra to complete this level.
Free courses teach concepts, but very few people finish them and almost nothing gets shipped. Foundations is built around assessed output: 6 hands-on projects, a deployed capstone, instructors who review your actual code, and a credential you only receive if the work is real. The curriculum comes from Panabotics client projects, not a generic syllabus.
No. Foundations is a paid, instructor-led program with reviewed applications and limited seats, so there is no free tier or trial class. If you want to explore AI at no cost first, the Panabotics Insights & Innovations articles are free to read and cover many of the same concepts at an introductory level.
No. Fees are non-refundable once enrollment is confirmed, because every accepted applicant takes a reviewed seat in a small cohort. That is precisely why admission includes an interview — we would rather place you honestly, or tell you this is not your level, than take a fee you will regret.
Level 2 — Panabotics Certified AI Developer (PCAD) — takes you from simple AI tools to production systems: RAG pipelines, vector databases, tool-using agents, and real business integrations. Foundations is the prerequisite for it, and most graduates move up once shipping simple AI applications feels routine.
