AI Courses Fees: How Much Do Artificial Intelligence Courses Cost? 

The full program fee for any course in Artificial Intelligence varies based on a number of factors related to the course. A few of the most pertinent factors that determine the fee range for AI programs include: 

• The institution offering the course (vis. a vis. private versus government institutions, tier of the institution etc.) 
• The mode of learning of the course (vis. a vis. online, distance or regular mode of learning) 
• The duration of the course (a few weeks versus months versus years)
• The level of the course (vis. a vis. undergraduate versus postgraduate versus executive courses, beginner versus intermediate versus advanced courses etc.) 
• The credential of the course (vis. a vis. certification versus diploma, versus degree course) 

Based upon these factors, certification and diploma courses in AI usually have a pocket-friendly fee range, whereas full-time degree courses and executive courses are in a slightly higher fee range. Similarly, while fully online courses have a relatively lower fee bracket, offline courses tend to have a higher fee range.
