The core courses

The thirteen practical courses on the academy flyer, each taught over two sessions a week and each ending in something you can show. Click any course to see its full week-by-week outline and read every class lecture.

How every class runs

Learn, practise, create, correct, repeat, demonstrate.

Every session in every course follows the same loop. The instructor demonstrates, the class practises together, you then do it alone, your work is corrected, you repeat until it is right, and you finish by demonstrating it. That loop is why our students leave able to do the thing rather than describe it.

1

Level 1

Know

You can explain the concept, name the tools involved and recognise the difference between doing it well and doing it carelessly.

2

Level 2

Do

You can perform the task independently, without the instructor repeating the steps, and fix the obvious problems when they appear.

3

Level 3

Create

You can use the skill to produce something a real person would pay for — a document, a design, a website, a report, a repaired machine.

The third level is what separates this academy from a place where people sit through computer classes and collect certificates.

Don't just complete a course. Complete something you can show.

Every course has a named deliverable, and the certificate is awarded for the deliverable — not for attendance. Here is what you walk out with.

Rotating short courses

We do not advertise 'and more' as a mystery. These are the short courses that rotate through the timetable as demand and instructor availability allow — ask admissions which ones run next.

How are the classes delivered?+

Two practical sessions per week for every course, each running 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the timetable you join. Each session follows the same loop — Learn, Practice, Create, Correct, Repeat, Demonstrate — with instructor demonstration, guided practice, individual practice, a weekly assignment and a practical project. Nothing is delivered as a lecture you simply sit through.

Are the full class notes published online?+

Yes. Every session of every course is published on this site as a complete class lecture: learning objectives, the taught theory, the instructor demonstration script, guided practice, common mistakes, expert notes, vocabulary, homework, the assessment rubric and session questions. You can read the entire curriculum before you enrol, and enrolled students use the same pages as their class notes.

What do I actually leave with?+

An artefact you can show. Not a certificate on its own — a document, a spreadsheet, a presentation, a flyer, a published website, a cleaned dataset, a serviced machine, a marketing campaign, a security report, a portfolio or a delivered lesson. The promise of every course here is: don't just complete a course, complete something you can show.

Do the short durations mean I become a professional in three weeks?+

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. These are introductory practical courses. Web Development in six weeks builds your first functional websites and gives you a genuine foundation for further learning — it does not make you a professional developer. What it does give you is real capability you can demonstrate immediately and a base to build on.

Do I need my own computer?+

For Typing & Computer Basics, no — practice happens on academy machines. For every other course you need a laptop or reliable access to one, because the homework is where the ability is actually built. Every course page lists its specific requirements before you pay anything.

Which course should I start with?+

If you have never used a computer, start with Typing & Computer Basics. If you can use a computer but need office skills, start with Microsoft Office. From there, choose by what you want to be able to do: Graphic Design or Content Creation for visual work, Web Design then Web Development for building websites, Digital Marketing or Social Media Management for growing a business, Computer Repairs or IT Support for hardware, Cybersecurity for protection, and Business & Freelancing to earn from any of them.
