Choose Parikshit Khanna if you need
A half day, one day or two day programme for working teams, not a months long course
Exercises built on the tasks your Finance, HR, Sales, Marketing or Operations people repeat every week
One programme that covers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot side by side, limited to the tools your licences allow
Leadership or CXO sessions alongside team workshops, onsite in Dubai or live online
Choose another option in this guide if you need
An accredited degree or graduate certificate: a university in this list
A government upskilling track: the government programmes listed above

How to choose an AI trainer in Dubai
Decide first: a team workshop for a company, or a certificate for an individual.
Ask for practice on your own tasks with sample data, not only theory.
Check coverage of the AI tools you actually license.
Look for governance: data rules, review steps and the regulations that apply to you.
Agree the delivery language upfront: some Dubai providers teach in Arabic, others in English or both.
If you operate in DIFC, follow its updates to data protection rules for AI systems.
Ask for relevant client evidence and a written agenda before paying.
Ask what support follows the training, such as a 30-day review.

From Parikshit Khanna's training sessions
These are real photographs from Parikshit's training work; captions name the session where it is known.
What happens after you send an enquiry
You share your company, city, team size, roles, the AI tools and licences you already have, and two or three preferred dates.
A short discovery call maps the tasks your team repeats every week, so the session is built on your work, not on generic demos.
You receive a written proposal with a draft agenda, one recommended scope, available dates and the fee, priced per cohort rather than per person.
Before the session, a short team survey sets the starting level. During it, every participant practises on a laptop with your approved tools.
After it, the team gets a recap pack, a post-session action plan template and a 30 day WhatsApp window for questions.
Questions buyers ask before booking
How are fees quoted?
Fees depend on team size, format, city and number of days, so they are quoted in writing after a short scoping conversation. Each proposal gives one recommended scope and one fee, priced per cohort, not per person. Travel and stay for onsite sessions are billed at actuals.
Can the training be onsite in Dubai or online?
Both. Onsite sessions run at your office; live online sessions suit teams spread across cities. The agenda and hands-on exercises are the same in both formats.
Will the exercises use our own work?
Yes. Exercises are built on the recurring tasks your team shares before the session. Confidential information is used only in tools and under data rules your company has approved.
What if we need certification or deep technical training?
Then a university, a long technical course or an official vendor training partner is the better route, and this guide lists several. Many teams combine both: a technical course for a few specialists and a short hands-on programme for everyone else.
