The Real Problem

Your Institution Needs AI Education. You Don't Have Time to Build It.

The demand is real, from employers, funders, students, and accreditation bodies. But building a quality AI training program from scratch means 18–24 months of curriculum development, recruiting and vetting instructors, procuring and managing a learning platform, and ongoing tech support. Most institutions don't have the budget, staff, or timeline to do it. Rex does it for you, completely.

Skills Gap Is Accelerating

AI-related job postings have grown 3x in 3 years. Institutions without structured AI programs are already behind, and falling further behind every semester.

Building It Yourself Costs $200K+

Curriculum development, faculty hiring, platform licensing, and ongoing support easily exceed $200K and two years before a single student completes a course.

Rex Launches in 8 Weeks

A complete, accreditation-ready AI program with instructors, curriculum, platform, and support is operational in your institution in under two months.

Build vs. Partner

Zero-Risk Partnership

We Remove Every Barrier to Saying Yes

The Rex Readiness Guarantee

If Rex Academy cannot have your program fully operational, with instructors, platform, and first class delivered, within the agreed timeline, we extend your program at no additional cost until it is. We've been deploying education programs since 2015 and we back every deployment with our delivery commitment. Your institution takes zero implementation risk.

No. Rex Academy was built from the ground up to be deployable in any institution, regardless of existing IT setup or CS faculty. Rex's virtual instructors handle all teaching, our platform runs in any browser with no installation, and our team handles all technical configuration. Your administrators need only a standard internet connection and a list of enrolled students.
Rex programs scale from small cohorts of under 25 to large multi-campus deployments of 2,000+ students. Pricing is structured as a partnership agreement, not a per-seat SaaS subscription. Contact us to receive a custom proposal based on your cohort size, pathway selection, and timeline. There's no commitment required to get a proposal.
Yes. CompTIA, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Google are the four most employer-recognized certification bodies in global tech hiring. CompTIA certifications appear in millions of job postings globally. Microsoft Azure AI-900 and AWS Cloud Practitioner are frequently listed as preferred or required credentials in AI, cloud, and data roles. These are not proprietary certificates. They are the same credentials earned by professionals at Fortune 500 companies.
Rex programs are designed for 100% virtual delivery, fully online by default. The platform is browser-based with no software to install, supports live instruction and self-paced learning, and can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. This makes it ideal for reaching students in rural areas, commuter campuses, or distributed cohorts across multiple locations.
Rex Academy's curriculum team continuously monitors changes in industry certification requirements and AI tooling. When major certification bodies (CompTIA, Microsoft, AWS, Google) update their exams or add new credentials, Rex updates the corresponding curriculum. Your institution benefits from this without any additional cost or effort, so you don't need to hire curriculum specialists or rebuild courses when the field evolves.
Yes. Rex has worked with workforce organizations, YMCA chapters, staffing agencies, and community nonprofits that operate under grant funding structures. We can provide outcome reporting, attendance tracking, and program documentation that satisfies most funder requirements. Contact us with your specific reporting needs and we'll confirm compatibility before you commit.
Who Built This

Built by Educators. Backed by Technology.

"

I grew up in a 300 sq-ft home with a family of five. Rex Academy was built on a simple belief: every learner, regardless of their institution's size, budget, or location, deserves access to world-class technology education. That belief became a curriculum, a platform, and over 500,000 hours of documented learning.

We've partnered with workforce organizations, community nonprofits, staffing agencies, and degree-granting institutions to prove that a fully operational AI program doesn't require a 2-year runway or a $300K budget. It requires the right partner.
