Updated 26 October 2026

Before you start

  • An idea of your preferred field and current experience.

Start with a manageable objective

The programme presents six fields: interface design, web development, data analysis, digital marketing, artificial intelligence and digital entrepreneurship. Choose a small result you would like to produce.

  • Interfaces: a three-screen prototype for a fictional service.
  • Web: a readable page with a working link.
  • Data: an indicator calculated and explained using fictional data.
  • Marketing: a fictional campaign plan without publishing or buying advertising.
  • AI: a comparison of prompts with checked results.
  • Entrepreneurship: a need statement and assumptions to test.

Prepare useful information

  1. Explain what you can already do, even without a qualification.
  2. Choose one or two fields and a simple project.
  3. Describe available equipment and connectivity constraints.
  4. State your availability and preferred working language.
  5. Ask the team to confirm the target audience, prerequisites, schedule, format and applicable terms.

Check equipment before starting

A computer with a keyboard makes creation and testing easier. Confirm the software, any accounts and connectivity needed for the chosen pathway. Do not purchase a software subscription based only on an example on the website.

Choose between Kids and Youth

Excellia Kids presents pathways for ages 5–17. Youth Digital Academy is a separate programme whose audience and prerequisites should be confirmed with the team. The choice depends on age, experience and the project; a Kids account does not automatically enrol someone in Youth.

Troubleshooting

I am a complete beginner.

Mention this in your first conversation and give an example of what you want to learn. The team can help clarify an appropriate starting point.

I need dates and pricing.

Ask Excellia for current availability and terms. This documentation does not establish a session, price or certification.
