How it works, in plain terms

What you already paid comes off the next course

Take Gear-Up and that fee comes off your next course in full. Every topic course you take then takes more off the Launch fee.

14 days to cancel, then defer

UK law gives you 14 days from payment to cancel and get your money back, less any sessions you have already had. After that there are no refunds, but you can carry your place forward and retake the course as many times as it takes.

Small groups

Launch takes eight students per group, a topic course twelve. That is what keeps the live sessions and Launch's 1-on-1 time workable. Gear-Up is a walk-through and demo, so it has no cap.

Which one is for you

Starting from zero, or not sure your setup is right? Start with Gear-Up. If there is one specific thing you want to learn, a topic course covers it in two evenings. Already have something running and want a team of AI to help you run it? Launch is the one. If you already use AI daily and want help on a specific project rather than a course, book advanced mentoring instead.

Advanced mentoring

Arranging a class

There are no fixed dates for now. If one of the courses interests you, email Davy and arrange a time that suits you, one to one or as a small group.

FAQ

Do I need to take Gear-Up first?
Yes, unless you can already do the setup yourself. Tell Davy your setup is already working, and you can go straight to the next course. The topic courses and Launch both assume your machine is ready. If you did take Gear-Up, what you paid comes off your next course in full.
What is the success screenshot for?
It shows your setup actually works on your own machine. Sending it in is how you qualify for your next course, so the class starts with everyone ready to build.
How is the time arranged?
Email Davy with the course you want and the days and times that suit you, and you agree a time together, one to one or as a small group. If you cannot make it after that, you can rebook. Within 14 days of paying you can still cancel and get your money back, less any sessions you have already had. After that there are no refunds, but a deferred place does not expire, and you can retake the course until you get through it.
Why are the groups so small?
Because everyone gets live attention: eight students in Launch, twelve in a topic course. Launch students also get their own 1-on-1 sessions. That does not survive a bigger room.
Do I need to be able to code?
No. Gear-Up starts at installing the tools. Launch expects you to be willing to work hands-on across four sessions.
What language are the courses in?
English, Cantonese or Mandarin, whichever suits you. Tell Davy your preference when you enrol.
What if I get stuck between sessions?
Bring it to the weekly check-in: every Thursday at 8pm UK time, 45 minutes, online. It is free for anyone currently on a course, Gear-Up included.
