The programme runs for 8 weeks, from Monday 1 June 2026. Sessions take place on Mondays and Wednesdays, 5pm–9pm. Designed to work around employment or business commitments.
30 places are available per cohort. Places are awarded on the basis of eligibility and application quality, not on a first-come, first-served basis.
Your cost is £0. The programme has a market value of £4,000, fully funded through the UK Government’s Skills Bootcamps initiative. No payment is required at any stage.
Sessions are live and cohort-based. Recordings may be made available, but the programme is built around attending in real time. You’ll get significantly more from it if you treat the live sessions as the core commitment.
You should expect to commit approximately 8 hours per week. This includes live sessions and time spent building between sessions. The programme is not suitable for people who cannot commit this time.
You will work with ChatGPT, Claude, Lovable, Stitch, n8n and Supabase, among others. No prior experience with any of these tools is required.
The goal is to leave the programme with a working app, tool or digital prototype that you have built and tested with real users.
You choose one of three routes: build for a client or audience, optimise your own business, or create a portfolio project to win work. The curriculum is the same across all three.
Eligibility depends on your location, employment status and the Skills Bootcamps funding criteria. Submit an application to check whether you qualify.
You're based in Oxfordshire.
Your business or project falls within the Skills Bootcamps funding criteria — eligibility is confirmed on application.
You're comfortable using basic digital tools and prepared to learn new platforms.
You're employed, self-employed, unemployed or returning to work.
You have an idea, problem or project you want to build something around.
You can commit approximately 8 hours per week for 8 weeks from 1 June 2026.
You are based outside Oxfordshire, or do not meet the Skills Bootcamps funding criteria for this intake.
You do not have a specific reason to build, or are unable to commit the required time.
Entry requirements: You don’t need to be technical, but you do need to be comfortable using everyday digital tools — email, a browser, a smartphone. The programme moves quickly and is not designed to cover basic digital literacy from scratch.
If you’ve used ChatGPT or similar tools before, even occasionally, that’s a strong starting point. If you haven’t, you can still apply — but you should expect to spend additional time getting familiar with the tools in week one.

From week one, you’ll use AI and no-code tools — including ChatGPT, Claude and Lovable — to move from idea to first build. Sessions are live, structured and supported by teacher-qualified trainers.
In the final weeks, you’ll test your product with real users, incorporate feedback and present what you’ve built. You leave with a working product and a next-step roadmap.
The first live session takes place on Monday 1 June 2026
Booking and quoting tools
From client intake forms to automated quote systems and scheduling apps.

Products for an audience or niche
Apps and tools built for a defined customer group, community or trade.
Build a product for a real client, business, audience or niche. Suited to freelancers, consultants and tradespeople who want to offer a digital product or tool as part of their service — or sell it directly.
Identify a process, bottleneck or manual task in your existing operation and build a tool that removes or reduces it. Suited to business owners and sole traders who want to recover time, reduce admin or improve how they serve customers.
Create a project you can show to potential clients, employers or collaborators. Suited to people returning to work, changing direction or building a portfolio of practical, demonstrable capability.
