The four hard skills of the bootcamp

Zero coding background required, any major welcome — over half of AI-skill roles sit outside IT. Everything you make banks into a standard AI portfolio: your prompt library, your own agent, your creative work.

Prompt Engineeringdirect the machine

Brief AI the way you'd brief a junior employee — audience, materials, spec, iteration. Most people get poor results because nobody taught them this.

You shipYour own prompt library, reusable at work from day one.

Vibe Codingship without a CS degree

Turn a written spec into a working page or tool, publish it, and hold a live link. No coding background needed.

You shipA live tool other people can open and actually use.

AI Creativecontent that ships

Images, video, audio and brand-consistent content pipelines — production work to a brief, not toys.

You shipA finished creative piece made to a real brief.

AI Agent Automationwork that runs itself

Chain tools into one line that does a whole job without you watching — and learn what should never be handed to the machine.

You shipAn automation that saves you hours every week.

The 8 Levels

We build your portfolio with you.Designed around the job you want.

Sample · How an HR expert reads a job posting
  1. 1

    Set direction

    Week 4

    A 1-on-1 career consult: what you want, what fits you, what the market lacks.

  2. 2

    Decode the role

    Week 4 · HR expert

    What your target role really requires — the portfolio is built to those requirements.

  3. 3

    Scope the project

    Real company

    A real brief from a real business, tailored to your direction.

  4. 4

    Build it together

    Weeks 7–10

    We build alongside you; every piece must be one you can explain, with an honest AI-use record.

  5. 5

    Onto your résumé

    Week 11 onward

    The work goes onto your résumé and LinkedIn — and the strongest work gets adopted by the company.

What you finish withA standard AI portfolio — prompt library, your own agent, creative work — plus a real-company project tailored to your target role, with every choice in it yours to explain.

We coach you to the offer.AI courses are everywhere — this part is rare.

That's our biggest difference: a senior HR expert joins in weeks 1, 4 and 11 and teaches the job hunt as a skill; the Sprint track adds 1–2 one-on-ones with the HR expert, then coaching with no cut-off date until you have an offer.

Both tracks

Week 1

Explains the Canadian job market, gets to know you and sets your job-search goal with you

Week 4

Decodes what your target role really requires — the portfolio is built to it

Week 11

Rebuilds your résumé and LinkedIn around the work

Sprint
from week 11 until the offer
No cut-off date

  • 1–2 one-on-ones with the HR expert after week 11
  • Mock interviews: unlimited AI interviewer rounds plus a human coach's final review
  • 1-on-1 job-hunt strategy: target roles, application cadence, channel map
  • A 1-on-1 debrief after every real interview
  • A deep-dive reset whenever a month passes without an offer
  • Partner-company referrals
  • Offer and salary-negotiation coaching
  • A monthly progress report for parents, plus a mid-term parent meeting

The full terms of the coaching are in the promise section below — including what we don't promise.

Guaranteed offerwe don't write thisWe promise one thing:we don't stop.

“Guaranteed job” contracts hide their escape clauses on the last page. We put every term right here — including what we don't promise.

What you have to do — three things

  1. 1

    Attend at least 80%

  2. 2

    Submit every piece of work

  3. 3

    Execute the strategy we set together

Do those three, and Sprint coaching has no cut-off date — a 1-on-1 debrief after every real interview, a deep-dive reset whenever a month passes without an offer, until you're hired.

We promiseCore: you finish holding the skills, and real company work you can put on your résumé.

Twelve weeks: how the three parts fit

Weeks 1–6 teach you AI; weeks 7–10 build your portfolio with you; the HR expert joins in weeks 1, 4 and 11. From week 13, Sprint students are coached through the real hunt — with no end date.

Asked every cohort (all)

I'm not a computer-science major — is this for me?
It's designed for non-technical majors. More than half of AI-skill roles sit outside IT — marketing, finance, operations and HR are all hiring for the same four skills.
How much of the work is mine, and how much is the AI's?
A piece counts as finished only when you can explain every choice in it in plain language, and every project ships with an honest written record of what AI did and what you decided. That's exactly why you can defend it in an interview — you actually understand it.
I've already graduated and I'm hunting now.
That's the Sprint scenario: straight into skills → proof → coached hunt, targeting full-time roles, with us alongside until you're hired.
I don't graduate for over a year — too early?
It's the best Core timing. Big-company summer internships open the September a year ahead — build the portfolio now so recruiting season finds you with something to show. Upgrade to Sprint any time; the coached hunt can wait for your application season.
Will it clash with school?
Each small cohort sets its class times together and avoids exam weeks. Every session is recorded, so a missed class is always recoverable.
AI moves fast — will this go stale?
The course updates as AI moves, and retakes are free — during the course on Core, for life on Sprint. More to the point, the four skills train how to direct AI: tools change, the method doesn't.
How does the Sprint coaching actually work?
Fixed check-in times we commit to; a 1-on-1 debrief after every real interview; and if a month passes without an offer, a deep-dive reset of the strategy together. It runs until you're hired — the three conditions (80% attendance, all work submitted, strategy executed) are stated in the open.
