Using AI tools to build working software and to do in a week what used to take a month. You also learn where the tools fail and how to check their work.

Finding the buyer, hearing no, asking again, closing. And writing that gets a reply: emails, proposals and pitches short and specific enough that a busy person answers. You sell something real before the course ends.

Your own money first: budgeting on an irregular income, saving, reading a payslip, filing your own tax return. Then the business: pricing, margins, cash flow, and books a lender will trust.

Public speaking and holding a room. Practised, reviewed and done again, all the way to the AGM.

Teamwork, feedback and disagreement. How to be managed well, and how to manage your first person.

Reading a contract before you sign it. How a company is registered and governed. Protecting a name and an idea. Handling other people's data lawfully.

How fundraising works. Who gives money and why, grants, investors and sponsors, building the pitch and the numbers behind it, and asking without flinching.

Building a product that works every time and that people remember long after they first pick it up. Designing it, building it, testing it, and making sure it holds up when thousands use it at once. Hardware and software, from the first sketch to the thing people would not want to live without.
