OPTMAL leverage active learning: this means, you are actively encouraged to take part in how you learn, whether it’s via interacting with our fine-tuned AI model, or taking part in guided projects. It’s been thoroughly vetted that using traditional learning methods, you retain only about 5-15% of the information. Active learning on the other hand, more than doubles retention (see reference), as well as dramatically increasing the odds of successfully completing a course (see reference), especially in STEM:
Active learning increases student performance in science, engineering, and mathematics (see reference). As well, online education is typically not working so well: less than 10% complete an online course, and less than 5% when it is involving technology: A comparative study of completion rates from different perspectives. Generative AI allows us to flip online education on its head and create a more successful learning environment.
OPTMAL’s method is called IALAI – Intention-based Active Learning w/ AI. Here’s how it works:

Hey I’m Fred!
I have a tremendous passion for learning & technology. Generative AI is changing the way we work, and it’s the best time ever to learn these tools. However, online learning has been lackluster for far too long.
I created OPTMAL for 3 main reasons:
Learn faster and retain more via technology.
Build skills & learn tools in demand.
Shrink the timeline from learning –> working.
I’ve taught thousands of learners around the world with a 4.9*/5 average rating. I hope you entrust me likewise to help you on your learning journey!

How is this different than just using ChatGPT?
ChatGPT can be a very good tool to help you learn, however it is a generalist. The OPTMAL AI is what you can call a specialist. Our AI solution combines the power of not just ChatGPT models, but a variety of other AI models as well (such as O1, Claude, LLama, DeepSeek, Gemini, etc.). The most adequate underlying model is used in real-time to best answer the query at hand. It’s like having one subscription that gives you access to all the best state-of-the-art AI models and the best model is used depending on what you ask! Our process also involves a lot of fine-tuning and specific methods to dramatically enhance learning and provide you with information that is easily digestible, fun and simple to remember. Our solution also factors in your individual goals and motivations for learning and adapts to you as you learn. On top of our AI solution, you have a guided process. You aren’t on your own…you are provided with instructions on how to follow along with videos, topics to discuss with our AI, and quizzes to test your new skills.
How does this compare to other online courses?
Online courses can be effective, but unfortunately, the data shows that less than 10% actually complete an online course. In tech, it’s below 5%. With OPTMAL, you are actively engaging with our AI to learn in the way that matches how you learn and your career goals. This format dramatically increases not just completion rates, but information retention as well.
I'm a beginner, is this too advanced for me?
Not at all! Our courses are typically designed for a beginner audience. So you can easily follow along and complete our learning paths. Over time, we will introduce more topics, including advanced ones and those will have the necessary prerequisites to prepare you.
How do I know the course quality is good?
Fred Premji is the instructor who oversees all the curriculum, and he has a wealth of experience in tech, AI, and teaching. Particularly, Fred has previously taught the MIT Data Science & Machine Learning Course, along with Generative AI courses for the University of Texas. Fred has maintained a 4.9* out of 5 rating from over 5000 learners around the world. This experience along with a decade as a Data Scientist & ML Engineer with an expertise in NLP has provided him with a unique perspective on what it takes to learn effectively and succeed in the industry. You will absolutely love the quality of learning with OPTMAL, give it a try!
Does this require a big time commitment?
The beauty of our learning paths is that they are entirely self-paced. You can go how you feel most comfortable…take a bit more time on one topic, no problem! If you want to go faster, you can certainly do so. The time commitment is entirely up to you.
Do you provide certification upon completion?
We do! To capsulate a learning path, you have a mini project to complete and once it is graded, you will be provided with a certificate which you can display online, on LinkedIn and on your CV.
Can I buy courses one at a time?
An active subscription gives you access to ALL Active Learning w/ AI courses. We also provide premium courses that you can purchase individually. These are long form video type courses that do not require access to our AI model.
What kind of support is provided?
We are always available to answer any questions that you may have. You can easily send us a question at anytime from your personal dashboard once logged in. Fred is also super accessible and you can find him on X or LinkedIn if you prefer.
Do you offer team/group discounts?
Yes! We have many deals in place with teams to provide all their members with access to our platform, so that they can upskill and learn about AI. Please get in touch to set this up.
Can I get a refund?
If you are not satisfied for any reason and you’ve completed less than 15% of a learning path, we have no issues in refunding you. We stand by the quality of our content, we are confident that you will get tremendous value out of our solution, but we understand that things can happen or opinions can differ. No worries, you can give it a try risk-free and see for yourself. If it’s not a fit for what you were looking for, you will get your money back.
What Others Are Saying
Fred has taught over 5000 learners from around the world via courses and mentorships such as the MIT Applied Data Science course, the University of Texas AI & ML Course. Fred has the unique ability to break down a complicated topic into more easily digestible parts, along with an impeccable & professional communication style which has earned him consistently ratings of 4.9+ stars out of 5.
“Excellent Mentor, very patient, and teaches us everything in a simple and understandable language. Also, I found out his English accent is clear and understandable compared to the previous mentor. Fred is a Great Mentor.”
“Fred has an exceptional quality to clarify the concepts while providing the supporting examples. He is also very clear on what we won’t have the clarity about like which model to apply as it depends on the data and the problem we are trying to solve for eluding to the nature of the iterative learning process.”
“Fred is awesome. His presentation skills are peerless. He tries to answer all questions in a concise manner, and has extremely good subject matter expertise.”
“It’s been a great experience having Fred as our mentor for this course. Fred is very knowledgeable, very patient with all of us. He takes the time to explain all the concepts and answer all the questions. Not every person is a good fit to teach others. In my opinion Fred is a great asset for this course in general and for all the students. GREAT WORK and THANK YOU for all your help!!”
“The class itself was interesting, and I really appreciated Fred’s approach and responsiveness to the Q&A texts! He is a good instructor who shows care, concern, and enthusiasm for not only the subject matter but also the students/attendees. The lecture itself and Fred’s approach was 5-star worthy.”
