AUGUST COHORT NOW OPEN

The 4-Week Creative AI Masterclass

A live, practical masterclass for people who want to use AI more creatively, confidently and usefully in their real work. Learn how to think better with AI, direct stronger work across text, images, video and sound, and build creative workflows you can continue using long after the four weeks are over.

Inside the Creative AI Masterclass

What's covered?

Almost everyone has access to AI tools now. Far fewer people know how to use them to produce work that feels thoughtful, original and genuinely useful. This masterclass is designed to close that gap.

You won’t simply receive a tour of whichever tools are popular that week. You’ll learn how to think with AI, brief it properly, direct it, challenge weak outputs, combine different models and bring your own taste and judgement into the process.

Each week includes one two-hour core session and one two-hour practical session. Monday introduces the ideas, tools, demonstrations and working methods. Wednesday is where we review homework, test workflows, fix what is not working and develop the work together.

The live schedule

The August Creative AI Masterclass begins on Monday, 17 August 2026 and runs for four weeks. Live sessions take place every Monday and Wednesday from 2pm to 4pm SAST. Every session is recorded and shared afterwards.

  • Monday 17 August & Wednesday 19 August
  • Monday 24 August & Wednesday 26 August
  • Monday 31 August & Wednesday 2 September
  • Monday 7 September & Wednesday 9 September
