Getting Started
Do I need prior coding experience?
No prior coding experience is required for either program. Both the Smart Notes Assistant and the Agentic AI Application Development program start from the fundamentals and build progressively toward a complete, production-ready application.
Do I need Python experience for the Agentic AI program?

No prior programming experience is required for the Agentic AI Application Development program. The program starts from Python fundamentals in Week 1 and builds progressively toward AI agents and deployment.

Completing the Smart Notes Assistant program first is ideal preparation — but not required. If you are comfortable with basic programming concepts, you will be well prepared to succeed.

What are the basic requirements?
Basic computer skills, a willingness to learn, and the ability to commit a few hours each week are enough to get started with either program. No prior programming experience is required for either the Smart Notes Assistant or the Agentic AI Application Development program.
Schedule & Format
How many hours per week should I plan?
Plan for about 4–6 hours per week, including live sessions and practice time. Consistency matters more than speed.
Can I do this while working full-time?
Yes. The programs are designed for working professionals with weekend sessions and a manageable weekly commitment.
What happens if I fall behind?
Missing a session occasionally is manageable. We can help you catch up. The key is staying consistent each week.
Learning & Curriculum
How is this different from YouTube or self-paced online courses?

Most online courses provide information. Our focus is structured learning, guided practice, and real understanding.

At doors2ai you get:

  • A clear learning path instead of random topics
  • Live coaching sessions where you can ask questions
  • Practical projects to build real confidence
  • Guidance from industry professionals
  • A focused cohort environment to stay consistent

The goal is not just to watch tutorials, but to build real skills you can use.

Will I receive a certificate after completing the program?

Yes. Participants who actively complete the program and final project will receive a doors2ai certificate of completion.

This certificate reflects your participation and the practical project you build during the program.

Pricing
What is the founding cohort rate?

Founding cohort rates are available for the first cohort of each program only.

  • Smart Notes Assistant — $25 CAD (full price $75 CAD) — September 2026
  • Agentic AI Application Development — $75 CAD (full price $150 CAD) — January 2027

Full pricing applies from the second cohort onwards. All prices are in Canadian dollars. Regional pricing is available on request.

What is the refund policy?
A full refund is available if requested within the first 5 business days of the cohort start date. Contact us for details.
Are there any additional costs?

AI API usage (e.g. OpenAI or Ollama) may involve separate costs depending on the provider you choose. For the Smart Notes Assistant program, usage is minimal and manageable. Ollama is a free local option available to all students.

There are no other hidden fees. One payment covers the full program.
