CourskillsIn-person · Small batches
Hands-on classes, taught in person.
Small batches, instructors who still work in the field, and a curriculum built around doing the work rather than watching someone else do it.
What you'll learn
Skills you practise in the room until they stick.
Every batch is built around a real deliverable. You leave having built the thing, with the instructor and the rest of the room looking over your shoulder while you did it.

Why in person
The difference is who is in the room.
No knock on online courses. They are a different thing. Here is what is actually different about being in the room.
Help exactly when you're stuck
Questions go to the instructor, there and then, not into a forum and a hope.
A schedule that holds
A start date and a fixed timetable, so the course happens whether or not you feel like it.
The instructor knows your name
You build the thing yourself, with the instructor beside you when it stops working.
Instructors
Taught by people who still do the work.
Every batch is led by someone working in the field they teach, not a full-time trainer who left it years ago.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
The things people ask before a batch starts. If yours is not here, ask us on the contact page.
Is there a public sign-up?
No. Registration is invite-only: you tell the office you are interested and they send a link to set up your account. There is no waitlist to game and no application to write.
How big is a batch, and how often do they run?
Batches are deliberately small so the instructor can watch everyone work. Start dates and sizes vary by course. Ask about a specific one and the office will tell you what is next.
Are classes actually in person?
Yes. Every session is in the room. The online platform is for enrolment, materials, and keeping track of where you are, not for attending.
What happens right after I enrol?
You are active immediately. There is no approval step. You will see your batch, its schedule, and its materials as soon as you join it from the catalogue.
Do I need experience to start?
It depends on the course. Each one lists what it assumes you already know; when in doubt, ask and we will point you at the right batch.
