Mission
Preparing the experts of tomorrow, today.
Take your next step in one of our three programmes : Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity or Quantum Computing. At the DLH Academies, you follow a structured training programme that combines several months of practical learning with a clear progression: strengthen your foundations, develop specialised skills and bring them together in a final project.
With each Academy you develop skills through hands-on projects and peer-to-peer learning, with guidance from industry experts. You will work alongside other participants, exchange ideas and solve problems together, developing technical expertise alongside communication and teamwork skills. Whether you want to deepen your knowledge, change career direction or prepare for your first professional opportunity, you build practical experience and projects that demonstrate what you can do.
Choose Your Academy at a Glance
The three Academies share the same project-oriented approach,
but each programme has its own duration, technical requirements, specialisations and professional outcomes.
Artificial Intelligence Academy
Develop a strong foundation in programming,
mathematics and data before specialising
in Data Science or Machine Learning
Cybersecurity Academy
Develop the technical skills needed to protect systems
or assess their vulnerabilities before choosing
between an Offensive and a Defensive pathway.

Quantum Computing Academy
Develop practical quantum computing skills
through a progressive programme combining scientific foundations,
elective topics and projects using Qiskit.

Why join an Academy?
An innovative approach to developing talent.
While the Digital Learning Hub offers short, stand-alone courses that mainly take place on site, here at the Academies you follow longer, structured learning paths to deepen your skills. Our programmes combine online project work and regular on-site courses with affordable fees and an inclusive approach.
Through practical projects, peer collaboration and guidance from industry experts, you develop specialised digital skills while learning to solve problems and work as a team. With flexible formats and a clear structure, we help you stay engaged and prepare for your next professional step.
Project-Based Learning
Learn by doing. Every concept is applied directly through projects that mirror real-world challenges.
Peer Collaboration
Grow together. Work in small teams, exchange ideas, and build professional skills that thrive in collaborative environments.
No Traditional Lectures
We don’t rely on traditional lectures – instead, you’ll learn through hands-on projects, supported by course materials, expert keynotes, and guided sessions that help you put theory into practice.
Flexibility & Career Focus
Depending on the Academy, you can choose a learning path that fits your personal and professional constraints between 3 Tracks.Choose the Flexible Track with a 20 hours per week commitment or the Intensive Track with a 40 hours per week commitment (the Professional Track). These are designed to help you get the skills you need to grow in your career or prepare for your next opportunity at a pace that suits your needs and constraints.
Process
Our Academy guides you step by step: from assessing your skills and filling gaps, to core learning, applying knowledge in real projects, preparation for your next professional step.
On-site Test
Complete an assessment on site to demonstrate the knowledge and practical skills required for your chosen programme. If you do not pass, you are allowed to retake it once.
What to expect for the exam:
The exam lasts 2 hours and includes a 30-minute quiz and a 1.5-hour coding project. It is closed-book. Computers will be provided, and phones are not allowed. Please check the page of your chosen Academy for more details.
Preparation if needed
Strengthen your skills through online courses (MOOCs) or on-site courses before taking the admission test. Focus on the areas where you need more practice, then move on to the on-site test when you are ready.
Admission Process
Capstone Project
The capstone project is the culmination of your specialisation, designed to showcase your skills through real-world applications. You can develop your own idea or work on a project in collaboration with an industry partner, with mentors guiding you throughout the process. The project concludes with a final demonstration and defence.
Specialisation
This is where you go deeper into your chosen field and develop expert-level skills, depending on your Academy.
You will work on increasingly complex projects with clear objectives, milestones and guidance from mentors.
Core Learning Phase
Build the technical foundations needed for your chosen field through practical projects, peer collaboration and regular expert feedback to help you stay on track and grow with confidence.
This stage provides a common base before you begin working on more advanced and specialised topics.
