BootCamp is Level 2, for the top of each Mobile LEAP cohort. The learner is a trainee. Eight weeks, probably nine, with thirty trainees in two tracks of fifteen; the first cohort is running now.
Campus and the Rented Laptop
In the first week on campus every trainee builds their own machine, a Windows laptop rented for the programme; the trainee is the Renter, not the owner.
Course files live on Mufasa, the campus NAS, on mapped drives; it syncs to Google Drive, the fallback when the campus link is down. Work is handed in as a Google Drive share link, never a Mufasa path.
The Week
Week 1 is Set Up. In weeks 2 to 6 Monday and Saturday are shared, Tuesday to Thursday are track days and Friday is the Business Friday. Weeks 7 and 8 are the capstone. Mornings are Taught; afternoons and evenings are self-guided learning (SGL). A daily ritual opens the day, and each week carries one of the organisation's values.
The Shared Sessions
| Code | Module | Sessions |
|---|---|---|
| FS | Foundations, week 1 | 8, from FS1 Orientation to FS8 Asha Putting the Loop Together |
| PP | Personal and Professional Development | 6, from PP1 Growth Mindset to PP6 Mental Health Check-In |
| BE | Business and Entrepreneurship | 12, from BE1 Running a Project to BE13 Books and Cash |
| CC | Capstone Core | 13, from CC1 Client Discovery to CC13 The Report That Renews |
Most Capstone Core sessions run inside the capstone as short briefings.
The Two Tracks
SCS is Systems, Code and Security; MD is Media and Design.
| Track | Code | Module | Sessions |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCS | SCS1 | Foundations | 6 |
| SCS | SCS2 | Business Online | 7 |
| SCS | SCS2b | Cloud Basics | 5 |
| SCS | SCS3 | Workspace | 7 |
| SCS | SCS4 | Networks and Security | 6 |
| SCS | SCS-PD | The Platform Desk | The desk |
| MD | MD1 | Foundations | 4 |
| MD | MD2 | Fast-Turnaround Production | 8 |
| MD | MD3 | AI Finishing and Portfolio | 7 |
| MD | MD4 | Channel Management | 5 |
| MD | MD4b | Production Management | 3 |
| MD | MD5 | Architectural and Campus Maintenance | 1 |
| MD | MD-PD | The Platform Desk | The desk |
The Platform Desk, open to both tracks, is where trainees take paid platform gigs; one can become a capstone client.
The Studio and the Capstone
Studio means where paid work gets made and finished, not where it is taught: the trainee's machine is the smallest studio, and work is finished and checked in the studio blocks after each Taught block and the Saturday resubmission studio.
The last two weeks are the joint capstone, the whole cohort as one studio: five teams of six, three SCS and three MD trainees each, each with a client. Mock clients are the default until a trainee lands a real one: a platform gig, a local business, the campus or a trainee's own business from BE3. The blocks run from CAP1 Launch, through two sprints and an individual Your Offer, to Pitch Day and Graduation.
Tasks, Badges and AI
The unit of assessed work is a Task, submitted in Asha, graded against the session's criteria and building towards badges. Lion Points (LP) are the programme's currency for work and attendance; FS7 teaches a trainee to budget them.
FS5 teaches the Director model for AI: spec it, direct it, listen and push back, verify, own it. Every piece of work is labelled Hand-made or AI-assisted, directed by me; AI-assisted work carries its receipts: spec, prompts and drafts with the trainee's cuts. Work a trainee cannot explain and defend fails the badge. Nothing private, and nothing a client owns, goes into an AI tool.
On The Hub
Each session has a page under BootCamp with the take-home card, worksheets and presentation; the Trainee Handbook is listed with the level. Each module has a coach prompt under Prompts for the trainee's own AI. Trainers find the session maps, facilitator guides, run sheets and TOT decks in the Studio section, the SAs the kit scripts in the Desk section; both need a Google sign-in and a role.
