LAUNCHPOINT / THE LEARNING + TRAINING CAMPUS

Learn with direction.
Train with purpose.

A complete view of the proposed skill architecture: 12 common-core courses and 30 specialist plans across eight fields. Every code opens the subjects, practical work and evidence expected.

Choose depth, not an impossible checklist. The 16-week core is shared. The optional extension selects one pathway of two specialist studios. The full specialist catalogue is not included in every cohort.
