Operating a tool is a skill that spreads in months. Designing a system, choosing how it learns, and being able to explain why it produced a given answer, does not. That gap is wide open right now, and gaps like it close from the top: the people who cross early end up setting the terms for everyone who follows.
Prompting is a skill anyone can pick up. Designing a system, choosing how it learns, and being able to say why it produced a given answer is a different discipline, and it is the one organisations cannot outsource to a subscription.
Technical roles want demonstrable depth. Senior roles want a graduate credential. Candidates usually have one or the other, which is precisely why holding both moves you past a shortlist most people never see.
AGTU (American Global Tech University) is licensed by the Florida Department of Education, Commission for Independent Education, and accredited by ASIC in the United Kingdom. Your completion documents read the same whether you studied from Lima or from Lagos.
A through F, not pass/fail. It matters if you plan to continue to a doctorate, or to claim tuition reimbursement from an employer, several online universities issue pass/fail only, and both of those doors close quietly.
A full competency, two subjects, with a tutor assigned to you and a certificate of hours at the end. The $48 enrolment fee is waived. And if you continue, those hours are recognised as up to six credits toward your programme, so the work carries forward instead of starting over.

Most free trials give you a sample video and a countdown timer. AGTU (American Global Tech University) gives you an entire competency, two full subjects, delivered exactly the way our degree students receive it. You enroll as a continuing-education student at AGTU (American Global Tech University).
The free competency costs nothing, in every sense. And when you decide to continue, the whole programme is published up front: the full figure and yours, with your country’s scholarship already applied.
The same nine teach every country, whatever you pay.
No hidden fees, no add-ons, and no card requested at any point. AGTU’s $48 enrolment fee is waived when you begin through the free competency, and the certificate you download at the end costs nothing either.
No hidden fees, no add-ons, and starting through the free competency waives the $48 enrolment fee for good.
Each term runs six weeks and closes with an assessment. You continue from where the free competency program stopped.
These are the two subjects you study for free: full content, a dedicated tutor, the student forum and AGTU (American Global Tech University) international events. Finish them and you download your certificate of hours, and if you continue into the degree, they are recognized as up to six credits.
Create your account and choose your area. No payment, no documents, and no card is requested at any point.
Immediate access to two full subjects, the forum, the AGTU (American Global Tech University) international events and your tutor.

ExploreStudents from more than 20 countries, studying the same programme as you. Every AGTU (American Global Tech University) student joins a network that is already working, people in your field, in your time zone, and often in your country. You can see who they are before you enrol, connect with them on LinkedIn, and ask them anything you would rather not ask an advisor.

It’s really free. The free competency program costs nothing: no card required, no automatic billing, no cancellation deadline, no hidden fees, and all materials included. What we’re asking for is your time and attention, in the hope that the experience convinces you to enroll in the full degree. If it doesn’t, you owe us nothing and you keep your certificate.
Yes, a short admission test that confirms basic knowledge of the language you choose to study in: English, Portuguese, or Spanish. It is straightforward, it is taken online, and it is the only test required to begin the free competency program.
Not for the free competency program. Formal admission requirements, including academic documentation, apply when you enroll in a degree program.
Not in the free competency program. It’s fully asynchronous by design, so students in any time zone can participate equally. You’re still supported throughout by your tutor and the forum. Some degree programs include live components; those are described on each program page.
The free competency program has a defined study period, shown when you register. If you need more time, your tutor can discuss options with you.
No. You start as an AGTU (American Global Tech University) continuing-education student. Enrollment in a formal degree program happens only when you decide to continue and complete the admission process. This keeps your record clean and your decision genuinely open.
No. The programme is delivered entirely online, so there is no visa, no relocation, and no resignation letter. You study from where you already live, around the job you already have, and the credential you receive is the same American degree.
The credit recognition described on this page, up to six credits, applies to AGTU (American Global Tech University) programs under AGTU’s internal policy. Your certificate documents genuine completed hours, but other institutions set their own transfer rules. We can’t promise what a third party will accept.
It makes it shorter, not cheaper. The published tuition for your category still applies. The benefit is that you’ve already completed part of the program and have credit for it.
No. It’s applied automatically when you’re admitted, based on your country of residence.
There are no artificial speed limits. Many motivated learners finish in half the traditional time.
Yes, A to F, with a full GPA.
Yes. Flexible plans are available per term.
