Arabic.AI has launched a new initiative in partnership with global development platform Replit to offer free, fully-localised coding courses in Arabic. The collaboration aims to expand access to modern software development education for students, engineers, and aspiring developers across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), making Replit’s complete learning experience available to Arabic-speaking talent.
Bridging The Tech Education Gap
Despite Arabic being spoken by more than 400 million people worldwide, high-quality technical education in the language remains significantly under-represented. This initiative directly addresses this gap by removing a long-standing language barrier, allowing learners to grasp complex programming concepts without friction and progress from beginner to creator through structured, Arabic-first learning paths. The courses are offered free of charge via the Arabic.AI Academy.
“Language should never be a barrier to opportunity, and this partnership with Arabic.AI Academy ensures that Arabic-speaking developers across the Middle East have access to the same world-class tools and learning resources as anyone else globally,” said Amjad Masad, CEO of Replit. “By removing the friction of language, we’re unlocking the potential of millions of talented engineers who can now learn, build, and reshape their futures without limits.”
A World-Class Learning Experience
This marks the first time Replit’s entire learning ecosystem, including educational courses and video content, has been delivered comprehensively in Arabic. The programme is designed to support learners with practical, production-ready skills that align with real industry needs, using modern tools and workflows.
“We built Arabic.AI Academy to prove that world-class technical education does not need to be confined to one language or one geography,” stated Nour Hassan, Founder of Arabic.AI. “By bringing Replit’s learning experience into Arabic, we are giving aspiring developers across MENA a clear path from their first line of code to building real products that serve their communities and economies.”
From Learning To Real-World Application
Beyond education, Arabic.AI is creating a direct pathway from reskilling to real-world application. The initiative is complemented by the expansion of its Agentic Studio, a no-code and low-code platform that enables developers and enterprises to design and deploy AI agents in both Arabic and English. This synergy between education and tooling provides a clear trajectory for learners to apply their new skills in practical, impactful projects.
