The Earning Track

Thirty-six evenings, one tool — Claude Code — and one skill: selling AI automation. Every class is built around exactly one idea, simple enough for a school-leaver to follow and real enough to earn with.

Course Outline
Track A
THE SHAPE

Four phases, and only one of them is about tools

No node canvases, no coding theory, no prompt formulas. The student describes the job in plain words, Claude Code does the work, and the course teaches them to run the machine — then to sell what it builds.

Phase 1 · Week 1
The Rail
Meet the tool, take the niche, build the money pipe before there is any money
Phase 2 · Weeks 2–6
The Skill
Claude Code, from first brief to a priced, sellable offer
Phase 3 · Week 7
The Proof
Package it, profile it, go live — nobody goes public unreviewed
Phase 4 · Weeks 8–12
The Hunt
Five weeks of supervised selling, until discipline becomes habit
Sessions
36
Three evenings a week, two hours each
Tools taught
1
Claude Code. Nothing else.
Niche
1
AI automation — chosen by the instructor, not voted on
The metric
Days to first
earned rupee
Never lessons completed

The rule that governs Phase 4

No student spends a single rupee of platform credit on a proposal the instructor has not read. The machine built in Week 5 finds and tracks the jobs — but proposals are written by hand, every time. Clients can smell a template.

PHASE 1 · WEEK 1 · SESSIONS 1–3

The Rail — meet the tool, pick the niche, build the money pipe

One week, three evenings, three ideas: the student now has an AI employee, this cohort sells one thing, and the legal pipe for foreign money is in motion by Friday. Paperwork follow-through happens in office hours, never in class time.

Phase 1 — The Rail

WEEK 13 sessions

The tool, the niche, the pipe

  • S1 · Meet Claude Code — installed, logged in, and a first real task done tonight. The magic show first: a 200-file chaos folder organised in one instruction. Then course culture, stated once and enforced forever — daily quotas, no zero days.You now have an AI employee living in your computer.
  • S2 · One Niche, Chosen For You — the five ways AI pays, shown once and only once, then the verdict: this cohort sells AI automation. Everyone learns the same skill; the student picks only who they serve, from a vertical shortlist.We sell AI automation. Everything else is a later course.
  • S3 · The Money Rail — FBR and PSEB submitted live on the projector, bank appointment booked in the seat, Payoneer started. The session no other academy in Pakistan runs.Build the pipe before the water — get legally paid from abroad.
You leave with Claude Code working on your laptop · a written positioning statement · FBR + PSEB submitted · a booked bank appointment · Payoneer started.

The tax position, taught in Week 1 and explained to parents

A freelancer who lands a $400 job and cannot receive the money loses the client in the two weeks it takes to fix. Registered exporters hold a 0.25% final-tax position — 99.75% of every dollar stays theirs, legally. The pipe gets built before there is anything to put through it.

PHASE 2 · WEEKS 2–6 · SESSIONS 4–18

The Skill — Claude Code, from first brief to sold offer

Five weeks, fifteen evenings, one tool. The ladder is deliberately simple: learn to brief Claude Code → make it work with real business data → build and ship one client-grade system → point it at your own business → turn the skill into a priced offer. Every session ends with something that runs.

Phase 2 — The Skill

WEEK 23 sessions

Briefing your employee

  • S4 · The Good Brief — the only "prompting" this course teaches: describe the job as you would brief a smart employee. The same task run twice, lazy brief against full brief, side by side. The magic sentence: "ask me questions before you start."The more detail you give, the better the work. That is the whole science.
  • S5 · Files In, Files Out — Claude Code touches the actual computer: folders sorted, files renamed in bulk, data pulled out of PDFs and images into clean lists. Everyone gets the same 200-file chaos folder.Claude Code can touch your files — chat AIs cannot. That is the superpower.
  • S6 · Build Once, Run Forever — turn a repeated task into a saved script and run it with one command. Change the script by talking to it; no code reading required.A script is work you never have to do again.
You leave with Five briefs written, run and corrected · before/after proof of the cleaned chaos folder · your first saved, reusable automation.

WEEK 33 sessions

Real business data

  • S7 · Spreadsheet Slave No More — clean a messy sales sheet by instruction, merge many files into one, and build an auto-report that turns raw entries into a boss-ready summary.Every business here runs on Excel. Automate Excel and you can sell to all of them.
  • S8 · The Data Harvester — collecting public information into clean sheets: competitor prices, property listings, business directories that become lead lists. Manners and limits taught alongside: public data only, never logins or personal data.The internet is a giant database — Claude Code can read it into a spreadsheet.
  • S9 · Talking to Other Apps — connect the scripts to email, WhatsApp and Google so the report sends itself. API keys explained in ten minutes: a password for machines, kept secret.An automation that ends in a message is one a client can SEE working.
You leave with A working report generator · a harvested lead list for your vertical · one automation that ends in a real message arriving.

WEEK 43 sessions

The real build

  • S10 · Scope It — pick one real business from the student's own list and write a one-page build plan a client could sign. Kept small on purpose. The instructor signs each plan personally.Diagnose before you build — the plan IS the professionalism.
  • S11 · Build Day — heads-down with Claude Code, 80% of the plan working before going home. When it breaks, paste the error back to Claude Code: errors are instructions, not failure.You describe, it builds, you test — that is the job.
  • S12 · Runs While You Sleep — schedule it, make it survive errors, make it report its own health. The 48-hour test: untouched, unattended, still working.Clients do not buy scripts — they buy systems that run alone.
You leave with A signed build plan · a system running end to end · the automation live on a schedule, with a clean 48-hour log that becomes proof material.

WEEK 53 sessions

Automate thyself — the Upwork machine

  • S13 · The Job Hunter — build a personal job-feed watcher that delivers a filtered morning digest. The hard rule installed early: the machine finds jobs, it never writes proposals.Your first client is you — automate your own hunt.
  • S14 · The Office — a proposal tracker that fills itself, plus follow-up reminders that never forget. The numbers in this tracker decide everything in weeks 8–12.Never lose a lead to forgetfulness — the machine remembers everything.
  • S15 · One-Command Morning — the whole machine wrapped into a single daily command: watcher → digest → tracker → reminders → today's to-do. This machine is itself a portfolio piece.One command runs your whole business day.
You leave with A running job-feed watcher tuned to your vertical · a self-filling tracker with reminders · the one-command morning, working — and run every day until graduation.

WEEK 63 sessions

From skill to offer

  • S16 · What Deserves Automation — the four-pillar test. Walk one real business's day on the whiteboard, score every step, circle the winner. That is the thing you pitch.Repetitive + time-eating + error-prone + grows-with-business = build it.
  • S17 · Sell Payback, Not Tech — the only formula: hours saved × wage + money recovered = monthly benefit; price ÷ benefit = payback. Under three months is an easy yes. The answer to "bohat mehnga hai" is always the payback, never a defence of the price.Clients buy "it pays for itself in six weeks" — never the technology.
  • S18 · The Offer — one paragraph, one price, one outcome: setup fee plus monthly retainer, named like a product and peer-roasted. The instructor stress-tests every price.Build once, sell many times: same system, same price, every client in your vertical.
You leave with A scored process map with the opportunity circled · a one-slide ROI pitch in rupees · a written, priced, approved offer — sent to one real prospect before Week 7.

PHASE 3 · WEEK 7 · SESSIONS 19–21

The Proof — package it, profile it, go live

One week, because the proof already exists. Five weeks of builds, screenshots and logs simply need packaging. Certifications run as homework, with badges imported in class.

Phase 3 — The Proof

WEEK 73 sessions

Package · profile · launch

  • S19 · Package the Proof — three case studies and a live portfolio site on the student's own domain, built by Claude Code in class. A case study is problem → what I built → result with a number. Numbers are never invented.You already have proof — five weeks of it. Tonight it gets packaged.
  • S20 · The Profile + the 2-Minute Video — a headline written as keywords, the first hundred characters carrying the best case study, every section filled. Then the video technique: their problem → a screen-share of your fix → a bold ask.The first 100 characters and a human face do the selling.
  • S21 · Go Live — identity verified against CNIC, the payment rail tested end to end, certification badges imported, and every profile roasted one-on-one by the instructor. Pass and it goes public in the seat.Nobody goes live unreviewed.
You leave with A live site on your own domain with three case studies · a complete profile and a keeper video · a LIVE, verified profile with a confirmed payment path.

Three free certifications, no age restriction, completed as homework

Google Ads Search, Google Analytics and HubSpot SEO. All free, all recognised internationally, all permanent on the student's profile — and the credibility paragraph they unlock is written in class.

THE METHOD

The rules that define the school

These are not slogans. Each one closes a specific way that beginner freelancers fail, and each is enforced in the room.

ONE

One class, one idea

Every session revolves around a single concept, printed on its card. If it needs two ideas, it becomes two sessions.

TWO

One tool: Claude Code

No node canvases, no second platforms, no tool tours. Everything is built by describing the job in plain words.

THREE

Basic skills only

Basic, done daily, sells. A fourteen-year-old must be able to follow every class — so an adult never gets lost.

FOUR

One niche per cohort

Chosen by the instructor from the market, not voted on. "You don't know the market — I read it for you. That's what you paid for."

FIVE

The machine hunts, the hand writes

Claude Code finds, tracks and reminds. Proposals are written by hand, every time — clients can smell templates.

SIX

No zero days

Daily quotas, checked aloud at the start of every session. Anyone with a zero day explains it in front of the room.

SEVEN

Credit control

No platform credit is spent on an unreviewed proposal. It is the strongest cost control and the core teaching value at once.

THE METRIC

Days to first earned rupee

The number on the wall is never lessons completed. It is the only measure this course accepts.

PHASE 4 · WEEKS 8–12 · SESSIONS 22–36

The Hunt — five weeks of supervised selling

The longest phase, on purpose: discipline becomes habit only under supervision, and habits take weeks. Every proposal is instructor-reviewed before a rupee of credit is spent. This is the part that cannot be recorded and cannot be scaled.

Phase 4 — The Hunt

WEEK 83 sessions

First proposals

  • S22 · Reading the Market — judge any listing bid-or-skip in sixty seconds. Green flags: payment verified, real hires, a problem described in detail. Red flags: no hires, vague one-liners, five-dollar armies.Bid on problems, not job titles — and skip fast.
  • S23 · The Hand-Written Proposal — the structure that survives an eight-second skim: their problem restated better than they said it, one proof number, three concrete steps, one clear ask. Two AI-written proposals read aloud so the class hears the sameness that gets them deleted.Hand-written beats AI-written, always. Specificity is the weapon.
  • S24 · Proposal Surgery + First Fire — four proposals rewritten live under the projector, then the first real submissions happen in class, credits spent, counted aloud.Kill the filler; the first submission happens tonight.
You leave with A personal ten-rule job-selection checklist · proposals in the review queue · your first real proposal submitted and logged.

WEEK 93 sessions

The client conversation

  • S25 · The 15-Minute Reply — answer any client message inside fifteen minutes with a call-booking reply, drilled on a clock until it is reflex. Chat is for booking the call; depth belongs on the call.Speed is your number one edge — reply in fifteen minutes and you are often the only one who has.
  • S26 · The Discovery Call — the five-beat skeleton recited cold: rapport, situation, problem, budget, next step. Including how to ask budget without flinching. Milestones 30/40/30, and the three-day risk-free start for profiles with no reviews yet.Five beats, in order, never end without a next step.
  • S27 · The Hot Seat — recorded mock calls with the instructor playing a difficult client — vague, cheap, silent, scope-hungry — graded by the class against the rubric.Bleed in practice so you do not bleed on a real call.
You leave with A personalised reply template, drilled · a call skeleton recited from memory · a graded recording of your own mock call.

WEEK 103 sessions

The street and the first delivery

  • S28 · The Street Hunt — pick a Karachi business, build a five-minute demo for their shop on their real data with Claude Code, and walk in. Walk-in etiquette taught properly: the owner by name, the dead hours, the two-line Urdu opener, show the phone.Don't wait for postings — walk in with a working demo.
  • S29 · The Paid Mini-Consult — charge PKR 2–5,000 for a diagnosis session, hand over the plan, and pitch the build in the last ten minutes: "plan aap ka hai — implement main karunga, pehla mahina risk-free."Charge for the diagnosis — paid means taken seriously.
  • S30 · Delivery — Kickoff & Cadence — run a won job without going silent: the kickoff message, the daily one-line ping, the twice-weekly summary with a screen recording, and blockers raised the hour they appear with options rather than apologies.Clients fire silence, not mistakes — update before they ask.
You leave with A ten-business local target list and a demo ready on your phone · a priced consult offer and script · a personal delivery playbook.

WEEK 113 sessions

Protect the job, win the review

  • S31 · Scope Defense — surviving "bas ek chhoti si cheez aur…" without losing the client or the money. Sort every ask in seconds: tiny (eat it graciously), real addition (Phase 2), replacement (re-quote). No new work on an unsigned milestone."Great idea — that's Phase 2." The reframe that keeps both.
  • S32 · First Review > First Payment — engineer the five-star: deliver a day early with one unrequested extra, walk them through it on a call, then ask — with insurance: "and if anything's not right, tell me first, I'll fix it."Price job one for the review, not the profit — reviews compound, fees do not.
  • S33 · Read Your Own Numbers — the weekly retrospective. The Week 5 tracker's funnel — sends → replies → calls → jobs — shows the weak link. Fix one link per week, never everything at once.The funnel doesn't lie.
You leave with An approved Phase-2 line and change-request line · a delivery checklist and review-ask script · your own funnel read aloud, with one committed fix.

WEEK 123 sessions

Recurring money and the send-off

  • S34 · The Retainer — convert a finished job into monthly money at the moment trust peaks. Three legs: maintenance, monitoring, and one improvement every month. Three tiers, with the middle one designed to be the obvious pick.Recurring beats one-off — five retainers at $500 is a salary that arrives while you sleep.
  • S35 · Stack-Up & the Rate Ladder — one job becomes three: "while I was in your system I noticed X — want a quote?" Rates climb 20–30% every three wins; new clients see the new number silently, existing clients are grandfathered and told so.Every delivered system reveals the client's next bottleneck — that's the next sale.
  • S36 · The 90-Day Plan & Alumni Launch — a written income plan grounded in each student's real funnel numbers; fantasy targets are sent back. Then the alumni group, the monthly review calls, and the subcontract pipeline that stays open.The habit must survive without me.
You leave with A priced three-tier retainer sheet in PKR and USD · a rate-ladder card with both raise scripts · a signed 90-day plan, the alumni group joined and your first monthly call booked.

WHAT IS AND IS NOT PROMISED

Guarantees and risk controls

Guaranteed — inside our control
Four outcomes
A verified platform profile · a live portfolio site on your own domain · PSEB registration · a working payment account that has already carried real money.
Engineered, not promised
First client
A first paid client inside twelve weeks is the target the whole method is built to produce — with an instructor-subcontract net for the strongest students if week eleven arrives empty. It depends on the student's own hours, and it is not guaranteed.

The conditional refund: attend 90% of sessions and submit every assigned proposal, and if you finish the twelve weeks without a verified profile, a live portfolio, PSEB registration and a working payment account, the fee is refunded in full.

A requirement, stated upfront: each student runs their own Claude subscription (about PKR 6–8,000 a month) and buys their own proposal credits. Both are built into the offer maths on the platform costs page — never discovered late.
