- Have an international credit card (Visa / MasterCard / Amex)
- Can commit 2.5h live + 2–4h homework per week
Not a Fit ✗

Can type, use a browser, install Mac apps. Command line is taught from zero — every command is explained. SSH, Docker, AI model concepts all start in plain language.
Can Windows / Linux students join?
Mac is the default (most students). Linux maps directly; Windows works mostly via WSL but you solve env diffs yourself. Confirm before enrolling.

Tuition: book a consult for pricing. External hard costs: ChatGPT Plus $25 × 3 mo (~$75), domain $10/yr, OpenAI API top-up ~$20, Oracle server $0, Cloudflare $0, Tailscale $0. Rest is free.
What if I miss a class?
All sessions recorded and shared. Miss 1 — catch up. Miss 2+ — book 1:1 makeup.
What can I do after graduation?
(1) Run your own 24/7 AI assistant; (2) Build customer service / automation agents for small businesses; (3) Move to advanced frameworks (Hermes, LangGraph); (4) We provide advanced project roadmap.
