6 weeks, online
Live sessions in Asia-Pacific-friendly hours, plus recordings and written materials. About 4–6 hours a week, flexible and async-friendly.

How it works
1. Join the waitlist
Tell us who you are and what you want to learn.
2. Seats follow mentor capacity
Cohort size depends on how many mentors are available. There are no open seats yet, so everyone starts on the waitlist.
3. Orientation, labs, portfolio
If a seat opens, we email you with the start date in your local time. You can then accept or decline.
4. Optional showcase
Present your work at the end if you'd like to. It's voluntary.
Who can join
Adults (18+) currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a university, anywhere in the world. No fees, purchases, crypto, or referrals required.
Join the waitlist

FAQ
Is this a job or internship?
No. It's a free educational program. There is no application fee or tuition. Participation in the educational program is not a job and does not guarantee wages, academic credit, certification, or future employment. No commercial production work is required. Any subsequent paid job or qualifying academic placement is separately evaluated and offered according to applicable rules.
Do I get paid?
No, because you do no productive work for ROICP. If ROICP hires later, those roles are paid and posted separately.
Credit or a certificate?
Not guaranteed. We can provide a factual participation letter. You only get credit if your university arranges it.
What does it cost?
Nothing. No fees, purchases, crypto, or referrals required.
How much time?
About 4–6 hours a week. It's flexible and async-friendly, and every session is recorded.
What happens to my data?
It's used only to run the Academy and never sold or used for ROICP sales or marketing targeting. We delete it on request. Privacy notice
Referrals?
Sharing is optional. There are no bonuses, quotas, or levels.
When does it start?
When mentor capacity is confirmed. Until then everyone is on the waitlist and we won't name a date we can't keep.
Build skills. Build a portfolio.
Free, online, and built on synthetic projects. Not a job.
