Artificial Intelligence course in Riyadh: basic to advanced

Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in AI, and Riyadh-based organisations are building Arabic-first LLM applications. The course is split into three levels. You can join at the level that matches your experience after a short assessment at counselling.

Basic

AI foundations

  • What AI, machine learning, deep learning and generative AI each mean
  • Python for AI: NumPy, pandas, Jupyter and API calls
  • Core ML ideas: training, validation, overfitting, evaluation
  • Neural networks, activation functions and backpropagation
  • Building and training networks in PyTorch
  • Working with text, image and audio data

Riyadh practice: E-invoicing (Fatoora) concepts in sales datasets.

Intermediate

Deep learning and language models

  • CNNs and computer vision: classification and object detection with YOLO
  • Embeddings, attention and the transformer architecture
  • Hugging Face Transformers: using and fine-tuning pretrained models
  • Prompt engineering: system prompts, few-shot, structured outputs
  • Working with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) and open models (Llama, Mistral) via Ollama
  • Speech-to-text with Whisper and text-to-speech basics
  • Token costs, latency and choosing the right model

Riyadh practice: Arabic-first, right-to-left (RTL) layouts and Arabic NLP.

Advanced

Building AI products

  • Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): chunking, embeddings, vector databases (Chroma, pgvector, Pinecone)
  • LangChain and LlamaIndex for AI pipelines
  • AI agents: tool calling, function calling, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and multi-step workflows
  • Fine-tuning with LoRA/QLoRA
  • Evaluating LLM apps: test sets, LLM-as-judge, hallucination checks

Artificial intelligence in brief

Artificial intelligence is the broad field of building systems that perform tasks we associate with human intelligence: understanding language, recognising images, reasoning over documents and taking actions. Machine learning is the main technique behind modern AI, and large language models (LLMs) are its most visible recent result.

This course is about building with AI, not just using chatbots. You learn how neural networks and transformers work, then build real applications on top of LLMs: retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over company documents, AI agents that call tools, fine-tuned models, vision and speech features, with evaluation, guardrails and cost control so they are safe to put in front of users.

Why artificial intelligence skills matter in Riyadh

Riyadh is the centre of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 transformation: ministries, the giga-project developers, banks and many regional headquarters are based here, with the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) as a major business hub. Government digitisation, fintech and AI programmes have made developers and data professionals some of the most sought-after hires in the city.

Who hires in Riyadh

  • Government and Vision 2030 programmes

    Ministries, authorities and giga-project developers building digital services and data platforms.
  • Banking and fintech

    Banks in KAFD and Olaya plus licensed fintechs building payments and lending products.
  • Regional headquarters

    International companies that have moved regional HQs to Riyadh.
  • Telecoms and retail

    Large telecom operators and retail groups with big customer datasets.

Saudi context you will work with

Generic courses use generic datasets, and interviewers notice. Our exercises include:

  • SAR pricing and 15% Saudi VAT in invoice data
  • E-invoicing (Fatoora) concepts in sales datasets
  • Arabic-first, right-to-left (RTL) layouts and Arabic NLP
  • Sunday–Thursday working week and Hijri dates in time-based analysis
  • Data-protection basics under the Saudi PDPL

How to choose the right Artificial Intelligence track

Your backgroundStart withWhy
Software developerFull courseAI engineering is mostly software engineering around models
Data scientist or ML engineerLLMs, RAG and agentsAdd generative AI to your modelling skills
New to programmingPython firstEvery AI project here is built in Python
Business or product professionalAI foundations and prompt engineeringUnderstand what AI can and cannot do before leading AI projects
Interested in classic predictive modelsMachine Learning courseThat course goes deeper on algorithms and MLOps

Common pairings: Artificial Intelligence + Python (if you are new to coding), Artificial Intelligence + Machine Learning (for a deeper modelling base), and Artificial Intelligence + Web Development (for building full AI products). Learn one course well before adding a second.

From course to first role: a realistic path

  1. Master the ai foundations before moving on.

  2. Build and publish your projects, including the Riyadh capstone.

  3. Apply for entry roles such as ai engineer / genai engineer or llm application developer with employers like the government and vision 2030 programmes above.

Honest note: freshers usually start in junior or trainee roles, and salaries in Riyadh vary too widely for a headline figure. Ask us which openings we are seeing.

Artificial Intelligence certification: what we cover and what we issue

There is no single official AI certification. Optional vendor exams include Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate (AI-102), AWS Certified AI Practitioner and Google Cloud generative AI certifications; they are paid directly to the vendor and are not part of our fee. SoftPro9 issues a course completion certificate. AI hiring today is driven mainly by working projects you can demo.

What to check before choosing a Artificial Intelligence institute in Riyadh

  • A 2026 syllabus: look for Streamlit, Docker, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, not only the basics.

  • Projects on your own accounts, a trainer you can meet first, and a published fee with nothing hidden.

  • No "global certification" or "100% placement" claims: vendors run their own exams, and nobody can promise a job.

How our Artificial Intelligence classes work

  • Taught from Bangalore

    Classes are taught live by the same trainers who teach our Bangalore classroom, streamed to Riyadh in AST (Saudi).
  • Live, with recordings and reviews

    Live sessions in AST (Saudi), recordings for revision, and project reviews from the trainer. Cloud GPU notebooks, API credits for practice models and your own GitHub repositories.
  • Interview preparation

    Mock interviews, resume reviews and referrals to Riyadh and remote openings we hear about. We do not guarantee a job.

Artificial Intelligence training in Riyadh: frequently asked questions

How much does Artificial Intelligence training cost in Riyadh?

The current training fee is listed on the Artificial Intelligence & Generative AI course page: /course/artificial-intelligence-ai-training-course. It covers live classes, the practice environment, projects and interview preparation. Any cloud AI certification exam is optional, not included, and paid directly to the exam provider.

Is this just a ChatGPT or prompt-writing course?

No. Prompt engineering is one module. Most of the course is building: neural networks, RAG systems, agents, fine-tuning, evaluation and deployment.

Which AI models will I use?

Commercial APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) and open models (Llama, Mistral) run locally or in the cloud, so you learn to choose between them on quality, cost and privacy.

Do I need to pay for AI API access?

Practice credits for class exercises are provided. For your own projects after the course, many providers have free tiers or low-cost options we show you.

How is AI different from Machine Learning here?

Machine Learning focuses on predictive models and MLOps. Artificial Intelligence focuses on generative AI: LLMs, RAG, agents, vision and speech.

Is there a classroom in Riyadh?

No. Riyadh learners join live online batches in Saudi time, with recordings and a 15-learner cap.

Do you cover Arabic data and websites?

Yes. Web exercises include RTL layouts, and data exercises include Arabic text and Hijri dates.

When does the next batch start?

New Artificial Intelligence batches start every Monday and Thursday. See the batch table on this page for the next dates and AST (Saudi) class slots.

Do you guarantee placement?

No. We provide interview preparation, resume help and referrals to openings we hear about in Riyadh, but no institute can honestly guarantee a job.
