Real Questions from Graduates Like You

No jargon - just straight answers about what you're getting

What exactly is the Career Acceleration Program?

Your express ticket to getting hired

+

Think of it as your fast-track ticket to getting hired or starting your business. We focus on practical steps that actually work.

You'll transform your CV from "just okay" to "wow, we need to interview this person!" and build a LinkedIn profile that actually gets noticed by employers.

We'll teach you how to ace interviews by practicing with real hiring managers and get direct introductions to companies that are actually hiring right now.

Instead of taking months to figure things out alone, we give you the exact steps to get hired or start earning in about 3 months.

What happens in the Monthly Pulse Workshops?

Your monthly career check-up

+

These are your monthly check-ins with people who've been where you are. Each live session tackles real problems you're facing right now.

We'll answer questions like "How do I ask for a raise?" and "How do I find my first clients?" with practical solutions.

You'll get insider insights from experts like successful barbers, baristas, and business owners during live Q&A sessions.

We also teach quick skills that matter immediately - like using AI tools or Instagram for business - and celebrate your wins along the way.

What's "Beta Course Access" in the Alumni Network?

Be the first to try new courses

+

This is your backstage pass to new courses before anyone else. As an alumni member, you get exclusive early access to brand new workshops we're creating.

You'll be among the first to try fresh content and your feedback will help shape the final version of the course.

You're not just taking courses - you're helping build better ones for future students while learning cutting-edge skills months before they're publicly available.

How does the Skill Exchange option work?

Learn now, contribute later

+

It's simple: You pay a small R250 deposit to secure your spot. After completing the course, you help others using the skills you've learned.

This could mean assisting at workshops you've taken, creating social media content about your experience, or supporting new students starting their journey.

You get the knowledge now, then help others get the same opportunity later - it's how we keep the cycle of learning and giving going.
