For higher education

Three specialisations. Proficiency depth. One year.

NASCA trains and certifies higher education students in three core technologies at Proficiency level: AI & Machine Learning, Python & Software Engineering, and Mechatronics & Intelligent Systems. Thirty live sessions a year, ten modules deep, run inside your existing academic calendar, certified by the World STEM Federation.

Quick answer

NASCA offers higher education institutions three Proficiency-level specialisations: AI & Machine Learning, Python & Software Engineering, and Mechatronics & Intelligent Systems. Each runs 30 sessions a year, two live hours a week, across ten modules, inside the institution's own calendar.

Every specialisation is accredited by the World STEM Federation, with individual, verifiable student certification on completion.

The three specialisations

Pick the one your department needs most.

Each specialisation is a full year of applied work: 30 sessions, two a week, one hour each, across ten modules.

Built into your calendar, not bolted onto it.

Each specialisation is delivered as 30 one-hour sessions across the academic year, two sessions a week, timed to sit inside your institution's existing timetable rather than compete with it. Institutions can enrol a single cohort in one specialisation, or run more than one in parallel across departments. Every learner is assessed against a published rubric and certified individually, with certificates verifiable by employers or other institutions in a single click.

📐

Mapped to your calendar, not your catalogue

Thirty sessions, twice a week, a rhythm designed to sit inside a real academic year without requiring a full curriculum overhaul.

🧪

Applied, not theoretical

Every specialisation is built around real project work. Students finish with something built and defended, not just a transcript entry.

📊

A published standard

The assessment rubric for each specialisation is public before the first session, so institutions and students know exactly what Proficiency means before they enrol.

🧾

Verifiable certification

Level-based, WSF-accredited certificates with a public verification page. An employer or graduate school can confirm them in one click.

🌍

One standard, wherever you're based

The same specialisation, the same rubric, the same accreditation, whether your institution is in India, the UAE, the US or anywhere else NASCA operates.

🤝

One partner, three departments

Run all three specialisations in parallel across departments with a single point of contact and a single reporting rhythm.

Questions we get a lot.

Are you accredited?+

Yes. All three specialisations are accredited by the World STEM Federation, and every student certificate carries that endorsement.

Can we start with just one specialisation?+

Yes, and most institutions do. Pick the specialisation that matters most to your department, run it for one cohort, and expand from there.

What's the difference between Proficiency here and NASCA's AI Institute?+

The AI Institute is built for individual learners enrolling on their own. This programme is institution-enrolled: your college or university brings a cohort, and the specialisation is scheduled inside your academic calendar.

How is this priced?+

Per cohort, per specialisation, per year. Pricing depends on cohort size and how many specialisations you run in parallel. We quote after one conversation, not before.

What does a student finish with?+

Thirty sessions of applied work in their chosen specialisation, an assessment score against the published rubric, and a WSF-accredited, individually verifiable Proficiency certificate.

One institution. Three specialisations to choose from. One year.

The first conversation is with someone who runs the curriculum, not a sales team.
