Somebody actually reads your work

Most courses end with a video and a certificate. This one ends with a senior engineer telling you what you got wrong. That is the whole difference.

Taught live, on fixed dates

how the course actually runs

Sessions are live classes with a register, not recordings you work through alone. Somebody notices when you stop turning up.

Step by step

What it looks like from your side

  1. You start with an assessment

    a few minutes

    Before anything else we find out what you can already do. There is no point teaching you something you know, and no point starting past where you are.

  2. You learn on real systems

    not slide decks

    We build HR, invoicing and training software, and we run those systems ourselves. You learn on that kind of work. It is the sort of thing a company would actually pay someone to build.

  3. You hand in work

    the part that counts

    You build something and submit it. Not a quiz. Not a multiple choice test at the end of a video.

  4. A senior engineer reads it

    a person, not a score

    Someone experienced opens your work and writes back about it. What is good, what is wrong, and what to do next. This is the part most courses leave out, and it is the part that changes how you work.

  5. You end up with proof

    something you can send

    A certificate says you turned up. Work an employer can open says far more. The aim is that you leave with both.

Why it is set up this way

Three things that make it harder, on purpose

We are not a course company

We are a software company that trains people. The work you learn on is the work we do for clients. That is why it looks like a job rather than a syllabus.

You pass by building

Somebody senior reads what you built and marks it. That is the whole test, so the work you do is the work that counts.

Small numbers, on purpose

Marking real work properly takes a senior engineer real time. That limits how many people we take at once, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.

Where it leads

What finishing actually opens

The course is the entry point to the rest of it. Two things follow from finishing, and both depend on work somebody senior has read.

Open for enrolment

AI Fluency

Three tiers, priced and dated, taught live in a small batch. Each one shows its length, its sessions and what you finish with.

Running today

Jobs and internships

Paid internships on live deliverables, up to ten places a month. The course is one of the three routes in, and places go to the strongest work in the cohort.

Where to start

Find out where you would start

The assessment tells you what you can already do, and where you would join. It takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.
