Training / AI certification orientationAfrican Fall School on Software Engineering and AI

This session introduces the NVIDIA AI training and certification opportunities associated with ASEAI 2026.

Maha Khmeja, NVIDIA workshop instructor, will provide an orientation to the available certification pathways, explain the registration and platform-access process, and outline the steps participants should follow to complete the required training and certification activities.

Because NVIDIA recently updated its certification offerings, the session will also clarify the transition to the new certifications and the expected timeline for completing the online components.
