20% — concepts
Foundations, terminology and live demonstrations. Enough theory to make the practice make sense — never lecture marathons.

Thrive Skills · Wave 2 programme
Use AI to automate real work — safely, measurably, without the hype.
Eight weeks to a safe, documented automation for a real but non-sensitive workflow. You learn to pick automation problems worth solving, wire the tools, add human approval where it matters, and measure whether it actually paid.
Duration
8 weeks
Level
Beginner-friendly (any background)
Weekly commitment
Published per cohort
Delivery
In-person in Mirpur (hybrid where announced)
Cohort size
12–20 learners
Outcome
A working, documented automation
Cohort dates, instructor, fee and exact schedule are published with each cohort announcement — see "the fine print" below for how we handle fees, certificates and promises.
Who it is for
Read both lists before applying.
This programme fits you if
- You run or work in a business with repetitive digital tasks
- You want practical automation skills, not AI opinions
- You will document what you build so others can run it
It is not for you if
- You want to automate sensitive data on day one — safety rules come first
- You expect AI to replace learning the underlying process
How you will learn
20% concepts. 50% guided practice. 30% proof.
Every Thrive Skills programme follows the same practical model: short concept sessions, long supervised practice with mentor feedback, and assessed proof — because employers hire evidence, not attendance.
50% — guided practice
Labs, exercises, critiques and mentor feedback on your actual work, week after week. This is where the skill forms.
30% — proof
A working automation for a real workflow — documented, safeguarded with human approval steps, and measured for cost and value.

Assessment
How completion is actually judged.
"Assessed completion" means exactly that. Your certificate reflects evidence, reviewed by the instructor and recorded against the programme rubric.
Tools you will work with: leading AI assistants and APIs, no-code/low-code workflow platforms, retrieval and knowledge-base tools (confirmed per cohort).
Assessment evidence
- Weekly build labs
- Automation problem selection memo
- The working automation itself
- Safety and approval documentation
- Cost/value measurement report
- Final demonstration
The fine print, up front
Fees, certificates and what we will never promise.
Fees & scholarships
Fees are published with each cohort announcement — in PKR, with instalment plans and a limited number of scholarship or sponsored seats where partners fund them. No fee is collected until you hold a written offer showing the full amount, payment plan and refund and transfer rules.
Certificate wording
Certificates state participation or assessed completion — exactly what was measured. We do not call any programme "accredited" or "government approved" unless a formal approval exists and can be verified. Public certificate verification goes live with the first completing cohort.
No guaranteed jobs
Completing AI & Automation makes you eligible to attempt the internship skills gate — it does not guarantee an internship, a job, clients or income, and we will never tell you otherwise. What we do promise: real practice, honest feedback and verifiable proof of what you can do.
Questions
Before you join the list.
When does the next cohort start?
Dates are announced to the interest list first, and only once the instructor, schedule and seat count are confirmed. We publish no dates we cannot stand behind — join the list and you will hear the moment it is real.
Who teaches this programme?
Every cohort is announced with its named instructor and a real biography — practitioners who do this work commercially, not just teach it. We never publish "instructor to be confirmed" enrolment pages, which is why applications open per cohort rather than year-round.
What does it cost?
The fee, instalment options and any scholarship seats are published with the cohort announcement and confirmed in writing before any payment. Refund and transfer rules are in the training terms.
Will I get an internship afterwards?
Completing the programme makes you eligible to attempt the Thrive Launchpad skills gate. Admission depends on your assessed work, a portfolio review, conduct and mentor capacity — it is earned, not automatic.
