We just launched our AI course catalog in English — 20 hands-on courses with an AI professor in every lesson

I'm the founder of Cursuri AI, an AI e-learning platform for professionals. "Cursuri" is simply Romanian for "courses" — the platform started in Romania, where it now runs a catalog of 50 AI courses in Romanian, from prompt engineering fundamentals to building production AI agents.

This week we shipped the thing people kept asking for: the platform is now available in English, with an international catalog of 20 courses built for people who want to actually use AI at work — not just read about it.

This post is the announcement, but I also want to be concrete about what the platform does and what's in the catalog, so you can decide in two minutes whether it's for you.

The idea: learning AI should feel like working with AI

Most online courses are passive: you watch or read, you nod along, and a week later you remember 10% of it. That model is especially broken for AI, where the whole point is interaction — prompting, iterating, getting feedback, correcting course.

So we built the platform around active learning instead:

  • An AI professor in every lesson. Not a generic chatbot bolted onto the side — an assistant that knows exactly which lesson you're in and answers questions in that context. You can type or just talk to it: it works in text and voice. Stuck on why your RAG retrieval returns garbage, or what a "system prompt" actually is? Ask mid-lesson and get a precise answer. There's a full overview of how it works on the AI professor page.
  • Interactive AI quizzes. Questions adapt to your level, and every answer comes with a detailed explanation — including why the wrong options are wrong, which is where most of the learning actually happens.
  • Hands-on exercises on the platform. Coding challenges for the engineering track, realistic work scenarios for the business track. You apply things as you learn them, not "someday later."
  • Automatic AI summaries. Key points extracted from every lesson, so reviewing before an interview or a meeting takes minutes, not hours.
  • A personal dashboard. Progress, scores, and insights, so you can see whether you're actually getting better or just clicking "next."

And because AI moves absurdly fast, content is kept up to date — courses get refreshed as the tools and models change, and new courses are added to the bundles at no extra cost.

What's in the English catalog

The 20 launch courses are split into two tracks, because "learning AI" means very different things for a backend engineer and a marketing manager.

IT & Engineering track (10 courses)

This is the track I'm personally most excited about, because it covers the stack of skills that 2026-era AI engineering actually demands:

  • Introduction to AI Engineering — the on-ramp if you're a developer new to the field
  • The Complete Prompt Engineering Masterclass
  • RAG: Retrieval-Augmented Generation in Practice
  • Advanced LLM Integration in Production Applications
  • AI Agents: Architecting and Automating Autonomous Systems
  • Context Engineering and Memory for AI Agents — beyond prompting: managing what your agent knows and remembers
  • Claude Code Mastery: Agentic Coding from the Terminal — multi-file work, git workflows, CI, MCP
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol): Building Servers and Integrations
  • Cursor as a Pro: AI-Native IDE, Composer and Multi-Agent workflows
  • Vibe Coding: From Prompt to Application with Lovable, v0, Bolt and Replit Agent

If you've been meaning to move from "I use ChatGPT sometimes" to "I ship AI features and agentic workflows," this track is a structured path through exactly that.

Business & Professionals track (10 courses)

No code required — built for managers, marketers, founders, analysts, and office professionals:

  • AI for Business Leaders
  • Manager in the AI Era: Leading Your Team Through the AI Transformation
  • AI for Entrepreneurs and Startups: The Complete Guide
  • AI for Digital Marketing
  • AI for Content Creation and Copywriting
  • AI for Sales and CRM
  • SEO and AEO/GEO in the AI Era — optimizing for Google, AI Overviews and generative engines
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot for Office Work: Role-Based Productivity
  • No-Code Data Analysis with AI — ChatGPT, Excel and SQL for non-programmers
  • AI Image Generation: The Complete Guide from Prompt to Publishing

The full list with detailed curricula is on the course catalog.

Pricing — simple and honest

We deliberately kept it simple, and every plan is billed monthly with cancel-anytime:

Plan What you get Price
Single course Any one course, full access + AI professor €49/month + VAT
Business All 10 Business & Professionals courses €199/month + VAT
IT Pro All 10 IT & Engineering courses €399/month + VAT
All Access The entire international catalog, both tracks €499/month + VAT

Two things worth calling out:

  1. You're not forced into a bundle. If you only need the RAG course or the Copilot course, subscribe to just that one for €49/month and cancel when you're done.
  2. New courses are included. Bundle subscribers get every new course we release, as it's released.

Full details and a plan comparison are on the pricing page.

Who this is for (and who it isn't for)

It's for you if you're a professional who wants a structured, hands-on path to using AI in your actual job — whether that job is writing code, running a team, or growing a business. It works well for companies too: there's a dedicated track structure and team offering for organizations that want to upskill whole departments.

It's probably not for you if you want academic ML theory — we don't teach you to derive backpropagation. The focus is applied: tools, workflows, and skills you use the same week you learn them.

The ask

If this sounds useful, take a look at cursuri-ai.ro/en — and if you check out a course, I'd genuinely love feedback. We're a team from Romania, competing on quality and depth of content, so every piece of honest criticism from this community makes the platform better.

And if you have questions about the catalog, the AI professor, or where we're taking the platform next — ask away in the comments. I'll answer everything.
