Study from abroad
Your cohort meets live in your own time zone, with a tutor who lives there too, in a virtual classroom and lab you share with your classmates. The curriculum, the books, the labs and the certificates are RAIN's.
Each country has cohorts by time zone. Your tutor keeps the same hours you do, and an online programme manager looks after the cohort.
Friday 5 pm to 7 pm, Saturday 9 am to 11 am, Sunday 8 pm to 10 pm, in your local time, all year.
Classes run in the Hyper-Realistic Virtual School: classmates beside you as avatars, the board in front, and a 3D lab. You practise in the RIDE Lab between classes.
Each page gives your cohorts and class times, fees in your currency, how to pay, and what the certificate is and is not.
Somewhere else? You are welcome in any cohort whose times suit you. Ask us which.

Read a RAIN book at your own pace, then sit its Professional Certificate exam online. Every RAIN book comes with the RIDE Lab. How certification works
RAIN is a research and certification centre for artificial intelligence and robotics. Most of our work is building real products for real problems, and our learners learn by doing the same.

No. Everything can be done online: classes, labs, projects and exams. If you would like physical classes in Ibadan, you can choose them instead.
Engineers and teachers who live in your time zone, recruited and trained by RAIN, working with RAIN's curriculum, books, slides and labs.
A steady broadband or 4G connection and a laptop. A headset helps; a VR headset is optional.
By card online, or by bank transfer. Prices are shown in your currency and charged in naira, so your bank does the conversion.
RAIN certificates are issued by RAIN in Nigeria and are not qualifications of the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia or the UAE. Their value is the work you can show; your country page explains this in full.
Apply for the next cohort, try the labs first, or ask us anything.
