Beyond Tahir Academy

Beyond Tahir Academy (BTA) isn’t just another learning hub it’s the world’s first academy certified globally by PureDesigners (IBM Services & Learning Partner) and AAAI Pakistan. We are also the first academy in Asia to fully comply with OpenBadge 3.0 standards, ensuring that every learner receives internationally recognized credentials.

What sets us apart is our multilingual-first approach. We’re the first academy in the world to launch courses in English, Hindi, and Urdu simultaneously, making AI education accessible for everyone — from Silicon Valley to small towns in South Asia. More languages will be added as we grow.

The academy is founded and led by Muhammad Tahir Ashraf, widely known as Beyond Tahir — Chair of AAAI Pakistan, IBM Silver Partner, Government Award Winner in AI, and a two-time Forbes nominee. With over 12 years in AI and running his company PureDesigners.com

since 2001, Tahir has dedicated his life to making advanced AI learning available and practical.

Our mission is clear:

To guide learners especially from underdeveloped and developing countries on the right path to learn, adopt, and monetize AI. While many today are only scratching the surface by experimenting with tools, Beyond Tahir Academy provides structured education, real-world applications, and future-focused skills to help individuals and businesses truly thrive in the AI era.
