September 2026 Founding Cohorts
Bring the idea. Build the first version.
Join a beginner-friendly five-week Vibe Code Academy programme in Leeds or York and use AI to build towards a focused working first version of your website, app or business idea.
Eight places are available in each founding cohort. The founding price is £399: reserve a provisional place with a £100 deposit, then pay the remaining £299 once the cohort is confirmed.
Both cohorts begin after the summer holidays in September 2026.

Best for
Builders who want a live room, weekly accountability, personal support, and a calmer route to real product momentum.
A focused working first version you can keep developing.
You will shape a realistic first scope, build the core experience, and leave with a version you can keep improving. Bigger ideas may become a focused prototype first, with a clearer path for what comes next.
Five sessions. One method. Real weekly progress.
The in-person live course complements the online course rather than replacing it. You still learn the Vibe Code Academy way, but now the weekly build process happens in a room with shared momentum.
A blended weekly rhythm
Each cohort combines five in-person sessions with weekly support, so the build process keeps moving between meetups instead of stalling after the room time ends.
Same VCA method
The in-person format uses the same calm, structured Vibe Code Academy method, now wrapped in more live support for people who want steady momentum.
Real accountability
You are building with a room full of momentum, a weekly 1:1 check-in, a group support call, and clear milestones that make it easier to keep going.
Everything included in the in-person experience.
The in-person fee covers more than classroom time. You also get a support structure that keeps the build moving between sessions and gives you somewhere to turn when you hit a problem at home.
- Five weekly in-person sessions in your chosen city
- One weekly 45-minute 1:1 support call
- One weekly 1-hour group support call
- AI support between sessions when you get stuck at home
- Escalation to human or admin support when needed
- Full online curriculum access after the remaining balance is paid
- Weekly accountability and build momentum that keeps the work moving forward
A good fit when live accountability matters.
Two formats, one build philosophy.
