A Certificate of Completion pathway
The proposed pilot is professional short-course training, not a degree-granting university program. Co-branded or institution-issued certificates require written approval and any applicable academic or regulatory review.
Start focused. Expand thoughtfully.
Potential next steps include additional certificates, faculty development, executive AI workshops, research collaboration, boot camps, and entrepreneurship programs.
Universities and training institutions in Uganda are invited to discuss a pilot. No institutional partnership or endorsement is claimed on this website.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Your questions,
answered.
Is this a degree or an accredited university qualification?
No. The proposed initial offering is professional training with a Certificate of Completion. Any co-branded or institution-issued certificate requires formal approval. No accredited qualification is advertised here.
When will the first cohort start?
The launch date and timetable will be agreed with the organizing institution. Contact Dr. Owor to express interest or discuss a pilot.
What will participants learn?
The proposed six-week curriculum covers AI foundations, generative AI and prompting, data science, cybersecurity, local entrepreneurship, and a final innovation project.
How much does the program cost?
The package proposes UGX 200,000 for early-bird or student participants and UGX 300,000 as standard tuition. Final pricing and enrollment terms will be confirmed before a cohort launches.
Can an institution partner or host the masterclass?
Yes. Institutions can discuss recruitment, local support, instructional responsibilities, and authorized certificate arrangements. The complimentary masterclass is a proposed introduction, with timing agreed together.
