Sound familiar?

AI won't replace you.
Someone using AI will.

Tick the ones that feel true. If you check even one — you're exactly who we built LearnPact for.

I keep reading about AI but I still can't apply it to my actual job. My team expects AI skills next quarter and I don't know where to start. I've watched dozens of free videos — none of them built a single real project. I'm worried my role gets automated before I learn to use the tools myself. Bootcamps near me are either too expensive or all theory, no portfolio. I want a credential that a Kolkata employer will actually recognise.

Show me where to start

Tick what fits, then we'll map you to the right path in 2 minutes — free.

Built for where you are

Four kinds of learner.
One door each.

We're not just for nervous professionals. Find the version of you below — and the place to start.

The outcomes

Skills you can put a number on.

Two kinds of payoff: a new role and a raise if you're switching in — and hours back every week, applied at the job you already have, if you're not. We track both.

Real stories

Real learners, real outcomes.

Hear alumni tell it in their own words — then read what learners say about the teaching, the mentors and the doors it opened.

Experienced professional
Why an experienced professional left a settled career to retrain — and how the mentoring made the switch feel possible.

Placed after the program
An MBA fresher on going from classroom theory to a real job — placed soon after finishing the program.

First job out of college
A fresh college graduate on building job-ready skills and a portfolio that finally got recruiters to call back.

A genuinely great learning experience — the way the mentors teach makes it click. I'd recommend LearnPact over any other academy I looked at.

Sayani Mukherjee

Digital Marketer

I finally gained real, applied knowledge I could put to use straight away. The faculty was patient and gave each of us individual attention.

Koustav Das

Learner · Kolkata

I'd tried a course like this before and dropped out — I never grasped the depth. Coming back here, it finally made sense, and it helps me every day in my work now.

Now a Brand Manager

Verified learner story

It was a life-changing experience. I did two tracks back to back and used what I learned to start my own venture.

Alumnus turned founder

Verified learner story

The advanced diploma deepened everything — SEO, ad campaigns, content planning — with the right mix of theory and hands-on practice. That balance is what made it stick.

Talk to admissions

Is LearnPact really a not-for-profit?

Yes. We are a registered charitable trust (WB/2023/0349599), ISO 9001:2015 certified, with 12A and 80G filings in process. Surplus from paid programs funds merit scholarships and keeps the Sunday Series open to everyone — including anyone who pays nothing. No shareholders.

Is the price I see the price I pay?

The figure on each program is the full, published fee — that's the most you'd pay. Almost every learner then qualifies for a need- or merit-based scholarship, decided by a short proctored round rather than negotiation. Check the Scholarships page for the public criteria.

What does a Sunday seat cost?

A seat is ₹99 — a small contribution that helps a non-profit cover the platform and the practitioner's time. It's genuinely free for anyone who needs it: pick the free option at checkout, no questions asked, no proof required. An optional ₹99 Sunday Kit (recording, workbook, templates and a certificate) and a ₹299 Season Pass for four Sundays are there if you want them.

Do I need a coding or technical background?

No. The Sunday Series and Applied AI Foundations assume zero prerequisites. We teach applied AI through real projects, most of which are no-code or low-code. Advanced tracks build from there.

Are the certificates recognised by employers?

Our credentials are issued under an ISO 9001:2015 quality framework and backed by a Demo Day in front of 20+ hiring partners. Fellowship graduates enter a structured interview loop with our partner network.

Can I attend if I'm working full-time?

Yes. Foundations runs three evenings a week and the AI Marketer Diploma is a live weekend studio — all online in IST on CloudVarsity®, our live virtual campus. Every session is recorded for lifetime alumni access.

How do I apply for a scholarship?

Take the 2-minute eligibility check on our Scholarships page. If you qualify, you finish a short, free application — then considered applicants sit a 30-minute proctored round that decides the scholarship and final fee. Need- and merit-based tracks are both open; criteria are public.

What if I enrol and it isn't right for me?

Every paid program carries our Fee Protection Promise: a 7-day full refund after your first session, and pro-rata refunds if you withdraw within the first third of the program. The ₹99 Sunday Series — free for anyone who needs it — also lets you experience our teaching before you commit to a paid track. See the full policy below.
