Know what you’re signing up for.
When do the November batches start?
The seven tracks launch independently on 3, 4 or 7 November 2026. Every course page shows its planned start, final session, application deadline and weekly live schedule in Indian Standard Time. Faculty and the final timetable will be confirmed before paid admission.
Are the programmes live or recorded?
Both. Short recorded lessons prepare you for live workshops, practical exercises and reviews. The workload table separates live sessions, recorded content and independent project work. Recordings and resources are planned to remain available for six months after completion.
Can I take more than one track?
Yes, subject to prerequisites and capacity. The cohorts run independently. Check live-session overlaps and combine the weekly workload before applying; some weekday tracks overlap. You can submit a separate application for each track.
Do I need prior coding experience?
Applied AI, data engineering and senior engineering assume programming foundations. Cloud and security tracks require basic IT familiarity. Role-specific automation and AI leadership are designed for business professionals; their course pages list the exact prerequisites.
Who will teach the programmes?
We are selecting instructors with relevant production experience and demonstrable teaching ability. Each course page describes the required instructor profile. Named faculty will be announced and confirmed before admission; no employer or university affiliations are implied.
What is included in the fee?
The listed launch tuition covers the proposed live teaching, recorded preparation, assignments and cohort project reviews. Applicable taxes, external certification exams and paid tool subscriptions are extra unless included in your final offer. A written refund and cancellation policy will be supplied before payment.
Does applying confirm my enrolment?
No. Applying is free and records your interest. We review your background and learning goals, confirm the programme and faculty details, and then share an admission offer. After admission approval, your invitation lets you review the final fee and written terms before paying securely.
Is a job or salary increase guaranteed?
No. The programmes focus on demonstrable skills and reviewed projects. Any ShawGrid Academy completion certificate is based on assessment requirements; it is not a university qualification or a placement guarantee.
