Here's my prototype — a tool that drafts safety checklists.

Strong scoping. The checklist logic holds up — tighten the empty state and this is ready to show.

How It Works

This is the whole loop. Nothing is hidden.

Five steps, start to finish — the same screens you'll use from your first week. What follows is a walkthrough of one learner's week, not a live account.

  1. Step one

    Start from the whole program

    Phases, weeks, lessons and deliverables — laid out from the start, so you always know where you are and what comes next. Nothing is hidden behind a drip feed.

    Step 1 of 5
  2. Step two

    Open the week and read the material

    Lessons sit inside the platform, written by the people who do this work. Read them, then get to the part that counts: the brief at the end.

    Step 2 of 5
  3. Step three

    Hand in what you built

    A link to the work, a write-up of how you got there. It stays a draft until you say otherwise — submitting is a deliberate act, not an autosave.

    Step 3 of 5
  4. Step four

    A mentor reviews it and signs it off

    Watch the status change: the same submission goes from draft to approved, with written feedback attached. This is the loop a video course can't give you — and the only thing that moves the count at the bottom of the window.

    Step 4 of 5
  5. Step five

    See where that leaves you

    The dashboard reads back the same figure: work a mentor has signed off, and nothing else. Your cohort's pace sits on the same dial, so “am I keeping up?” is a distance to look at rather than a number to work out.

    Step 5 of 5
Why This Is Different

Other programs give you certificates. We give you proof.

Most programs teach you concepts. Few make you apply them to real work. That's the gap. We fill it.

Learn by Doing

Practical, mentor-led tracks that meet you at your level. You don't just absorb concepts — you apply them from day one, using the real tools professionals in your field actually use.

Not this: 40 hours of video lectures and a multiple choice test.

Work on What's Real

Every track centers on real work — building, deciding, applying — with guidance from people who do it professionally. Real feedback, real reviews, real accountability.

Not this: a toy exercise nobody will ever see or use.

Leave with Proof

Finish with something you can show: real work with your name on it, a portfolio case study of what you did, and a genuine reference. Proof, not promises.

Not this: a PDF certificate and a handshake.

Who This Is For

Learners come from everywhere.

No prior experience required for most tracks. What matters: you're motivated to learn, and you're ready to do the work.

01

Newcomers & Graduates

You want practical skills and proof you can show — not just another class you attended. We get you there, fast, with work you can point to.

02

Working Professionals

You already have a career, but AI is changing your field. Learn to apply it to real work, level up your craft, and stay ahead of the curve.

03

Leaders & Decision-Makers

You sponsor or oversee AI work you don't fully understand. Learn to make and defend those decisions with clarity and confidence.

What You Leave With

Outcomes, not just a certificate.

Every graduate finishes with more than knowledge. Real, tangible outcomes.

Real Work to Show

Tangible proof of what you did — real work with your name on it, ready to link from your portfolio. Not toy exercises nobody will ever see.

A Portfolio Case Study

A polished case study of your work, co-developed with our team. Problem → Process → Result — the way hiring managers and decision-makers want to see it.

A Personal Reference

A personalized letter from our team assessing your skills, work ethic, and contribution. Not a template — a genuine endorsement.

Priority for What's Next

Proven graduates get first access to what follows — advanced tracks, opportunities, and an ongoing community of builders and leaders.

Backed By

Built by a studio that ships.

Cynea AI isn't run by educators. It's run by practitioners. Our co-founders are active designers and strategists who ship products every day. You'll learn directly from people who do the work — not people who only teach about it.
