Method

How this comparison was compiled

Read on the seller’s own page
Every figure was read on the page each row links to, on 13 October 2026. A programme whose page could not be read that day is left out.
Their currency, their words
A fee is shown in the currency it was published in. Words inside quotation marks are the seller’s own, and a placement line is the seller’s statement.
A gap stays a gap
“Not stated” means the page did not say on the day it was read. It is not a judgement of the programme.
Who publishes this
ArkOne runs ArkOne Academy, one of the programmes compared. A seller with a newer figure can write to hello@arkone.ai and the row is read again.

Changes

  • Three facts added from the sellers’ own brochures: HCL GUVI’s total fee, Crio’s hours a week and Le Wagon’s full-time schedule.
  • First published. Every row was read on the seller’s own page that day.

More questions

What happens after the twelve weeks?

Three years of support from the team. If you need placement help, a refresher when the field moves, a seat in another session or a place on another project, the team arranges it. You also keep the recorded programmes and access to new programmes ArkOne starts.

How often does ArkOne Academy’s curriculum change?

Every cohort, including cohorts that run at the same time. Units are rewritten as tools and practice change, so what one cohort learns is not frozen for the next.

Who is ArkOne Academy for?

Software engineers with 3 to 8 years of experience. No AI experience is needed. A 30-minute call on what you have built and shipped decides admission.

How is ArkOne Academy different from the other programmes?

Five things together: it is full time, in person, built on real client work, includes Anthropic’s Claude Certified Architect – Foundations exam, and teaches harness engineering and agent workforces. No other programme read states more than 3 of the five.

How often is this comparison updated?

Every row is read again on the seller’s own page at least every 90 days. The date under the headline is the day the rows were last read, and each change is listed at the foot of the page.

Only ten seats at each campus.

Pass an independent exam, proctored by Pearson, and qualify for a 96% scholarship.
