New A4A Academy · Founding cohorts
An online academy for people with a quantitative or analytical foundation who want to move faster. Both programmes will run about ten weeks, part-time, and both will end in a real piece of work you can show. Pick the one that matches the decisions you want to influence.
Choose your programme
One is built for people making their way in analytics work. The other is for people whose analysis lands on a policy desk. The teaching standard, the mentoring and the price are identical.
For graduates and early-career professionals with a quantitative foundation who want to sharpen their craft and add AI fluency, then turn it into work: a job, clients, or a venture of their own.
For early and mid-career people whose work will shape public decisions: government and agencies, development partners and NGOs, think tanks and research, and analysts moving into policy from elsewhere.
Both programmes
These are live, guided cohorts. You'll move through one with other people, senior professionals will guide you, and you'll finish with something real to show.
You'll learn alongside peers doing the same work, so there's accountability and momentum you won't get on your own.
You'll get one-on-one sessions and networking with senior professionals working in your field today.
Four in Business Analytics, five in Public Policy Analytics, then you'll work on a real-world mentored project that will reflect what you will be doing at work.
A finished piece of work, a certificate, and a network of mentors and peers that will outlast the cohort.
Scholarships
Every cohort, on both programmes, we set aside scholarships worth up to 70% of tuition for people who'd thrive here but can't cover the full cost. Tell us who you are and why it would help. We'll read every application.
Questions
Ask who reads your analysis. If it goes to a manager, a client or an investor, take Business Analytics with AI. If it goes to a director, a minister, a donor or a board that sets policy, take Public Policy Analytics with AI. If you're between the two, register for either and say so; we'll talk it through before you pay anything.
No. Neither programme teaches programming or basic statistics from scratch. What you need is comfort with numbers and logic. We'll build on that.
Not at once. They run as separate cohorts and each one is a serious part-time commitment. Alumni of one will get a place ahead of the queue on the other.
USD $1,100 for either programme, with scholarships of up to 70% so cost isn't a barrier to talented people. Once your place is confirmed, tuition will be due about three weeks before the cohort begins.
No. Both are guided, part-time cohorts with live mentoring, so you won't be learning alone.
We'll share each cohort's dates with everyone who's registered their interest. Register on whichever programme page fits and you'll be first to know.
