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).

Frequently Asked Questions
So how do the Programs work exactly?
OPTMAL Programs are very much like education programs you are familiar with. You have content to go over, like videos, texts, documents, and you have quizzes and projects to test and validate your skills before getting your certification. You have support and direct access to help in order to assist you in completing your program successfully. As well, you are provided with our OPTMAL AI tool which is an AI Tutor to assist you along your learning :)
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%. Also, these large platforms and institutions are always behind in teaching relevant material that actually matters in the workplace.
With OPTMAL, the content is always updated to reflect what matters and is useful. Since we’re a small business, there is no delay in getting things updated and approved. So the main differences are that the content is fresher, higher quality, the projects you work on are unique and tailored to really impress hiring managers and the support provided is personalized.
I'm a beginner, is this too advanced for me?
Not at all! Our Programs are typically designed for a beginner audience. So you can easily follow along and complete at your own pace. 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 AI courses at MIT, for the University of Texas, John Hopkins and University of San Diego. Fred has maintained a 4.9* out of 5 rating from well over 5000 learners around the world. This experience along with a decade as a ML & AI 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, take a look at this sample :)
Does this require a big time commitment?
The beauty of our Programs 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! Every successful completion of a program comes with a certificate which you can display online, on LinkedIn and on your CV. We also provide a portal for certificate verification. Here is a sample of the certificate:
What kind of support is provided?
We strive on providing the BEST customer support in education! We take the time to understand your areas of struggle and assist you in resolving any issues, whether it’s technical or content related.

Can I get a refund?
If you are not satisfied for any reason and you’ve completed less than 15% of a Program, 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.

“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.”
