Stop just using AI. Learn to build with it.
An eight-week live cohort for African EAs, VAs, Chiefs of Staff, and Operations professionals who want to build the AI-powered systems behind their work, not just prompt their way through it.

AI is changing the value of your work, and no one taught you how to build with it
Repetitive work eats your week
Recurring admin and operational tasks take up time that could go toward higher-value work, if there were a system to run them instead.
Your skills are becoming replaceable
AI already handles much of what made administrative and operational professionals valuable. Prompting alone won't keep you ahead of that.
You use AI, but you don't build with it
You've tried ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot. Using a tool for one task is a different skill from building a complete workflow.
No one is training you properly
Companies roll out AI tools without teaching people how to integrate them meaningfully into real work.
An eight-week live cohort, built around real work
Why this cohort
8 weeks of live instruction
Live sessions each week, taught in real time, not pre-recorded videos.
One-to-one support and structured accountability
You're not left to figure it out alone between sessions.
Hands-on assignments and reviewed builds
You build real things and get feedback on the work itself.
A professional peer community
Build alongside other operators making the same shift.
And what you build
- An Automation ToolA real AI-powered system built around a task you already do
- An AI AgentA working agent you design, build, and deploy yourself
- A Live WebsiteA live site you build and ship yourself
- A Business AppA working app you can put in front of an executive, team, or client
Six modules, one repeatable build cycle
You'll move through learning, building, testing, and shipping real tools, then repeat the cycle with more independence each time.
Thinking like an AI operator
The vibe coding mindset, how software gets built, and how to price this skill for your next role.
Prompting fundamentals
Structure, context, iteration, and the difference between prompting for code and prompting for everyday tasks.
Understanding your tools
OpenAI Codex and Claude Code, set up end to end, plus GitHub, token management, security and testing basics.
Planning-first automation design
Turning a real business problem into a BRD and PRD, mapping the workflow, and defining what "working" means.
Building your first AI-powered tool
From PRD to first build, pre-launch review, debugging with AI support, and deployment.
Capstone projects and portfolio
Four real builds to demonstrate what you can do: an automation tool, an agent, a live website, and a business app.

Is this course for you
Who is our vibe coding course for
Our vibe coding course is for people who want to AI-proof their career, become an AI orchestrator, increase their salary, and stay on the cutting edge of AI, but don't know how to start on their own, and for people looking for live human instruction that is iterative and hands-on, not a video library they work through alone.
Who this isn't for
The Palistra Vibe Coding Course isn't built for people seeking advanced software-engineering training, people with only mobile-phone access, anyone unable to commit the weekly hours, or learners looking only for a certificate or a video library.
Common questions
Do I need to pay for AI subscriptions separately?
No. Claude Max and ChatGPT Pro are both included for your first two months, at no extra cost.
Can I pay in my local currency?
Yes. You can pay in Naira, Shillings, or Rand.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. This course is built for people who don't code. You'll learn how to build with AI tools, no programming background needed.
Is this just another prompting course?
No. Prompting is just one part of the course, covered in Module 2. Most of the course is about actually building, testing, and launching real tools.
What do I actually walk away with?
Four completed projects, a portfolio to show for it, a process you can use again on your own, and a certificate once you submit your write-ups.
Can I keep Claude Max + ChatGPT Pro after my two months?
Yes. After your two months, you can keep both tools by paying ₦80,000 / KSh 6,450 / R900 a month. There's no obligation to sign up for the course again. With the monthly subscription, you also get access to all our new and current courses, with support from tutors.
The process behind every project you ship
This is the process behind every project you ship: learn the concept, build it into something real, test it, improve it, deploy it, then demo it to the group before moving on.
Run through this cycle four times and it stops being something you were taught. It just becomes how you work.
