FAQ ·
The optional IoT lane
Code first. Ship first. IoT when you choose — optional modules at the end of tiers, no extra charge, built for international rebels and anyone who doesn’t want logistics in the way.
- Every tier is built so you can start without a kit: software-first progression, same core outcomes and benefits.
- When you want the full-stack IoT story, optional lessons at the end of tiers let you add real boards and sensors — free of charge.
- Not all rebels need IoT on their résumé — that’s why it’s optional. Complete the IoT track and you earn the IoT badge and recognition on top of everything else.
Monthly tiers
Tier 1
GUI-First Web Design, Branding & Professional Sites
First month: R250
Then R350/month
- GUI-first — interfaces before deep logic; every serious app starts with the face users see
- Design full professional websites you can sell; portfolio-ready work from day one
- UX, brand voice, and client branding — refine existing brands or build identity when they have none
- Included — Web dev master prompt (Rebel Glitch): build strong pages in minutes with a tested workflow
Tier 2
Web Application Development
Standard monthly rate
- Wire backend behavior into the Tier 1 sites and layouts you already shipped
- React & modern frontend — components, state, and patterns that scale with real data
- API design: REST/JSON endpoints, routing, validation, auth, and clean contracts between your GUI and the server
- Databases: schemas, migrations, ORMs or queries, relations, and safe access patterns your app can rely on
Tier 3
Mobile Application Development
Standard monthly rate
- Carries your GUI-first work forward — mobile UX builds on the interfaces and polish you already shipped
- React Native: much of your web app maps across with minimal rework; AI-assisted scaffolding and conversion
- AI-assisted workflows plus Expo, Expo Go, Arena (or similar) — fast device previews and iteration
- Same database as your web application — one source of truth; data stays current on web and mobile
Tier 4
Full Stack Architect — Personalization, Integrations & Growth
Standard monthly rate
- Architect-grade polish on what you built in Tiers 1–3 — systems thinking, not just features
- Personalization: different customers see different pages and content; LLMs to generate unique sections where it helps
- A/B testing: rotate headings, copy, and CTAs; measure what converts
- CLI workflows (e.g. cloud platform CLIs) to automate deploys, resources, and ops alongside your stack
Tier 5
Advanced AI, ML & RAG
Standard monthly rate
- Vector embeddings & vector DBs — search and retrieve across documents and corpora in milliseconds
- Full RAG section: retrieval-augmented generation from foundations to production-ready patterns
- Build datasets: collection, cleaning, labeling, and splits tailored to real use cases
- Train models with neural networks and other methods (Python) — supervised learning, fine-tuning, and beyond
Tier 6
Intelligent IoT & AI Hardware
Standard monthly rate
- IoT-only tier — the flagship kit is required here; the hard path is not optional
- Special Rebel Glitch kit (includes the basic board you need) — hardware is in production; availability or pre-order timing may apply when you enroll
- Prerequisites: go back and complete the optional IoT modules from earlier tiers that offered them, so you arrive ready before Tier 6
- From plain IoT to intelligent IoT — on-device AI, sensing, and automation on real boards & sensors
Tier 7
Rebel Guild
Graduate membership — unlocks after Tier 6
- Direct CLI bridge to our service: prompts in Cursor pull the data, tips, rules, and guidelines you need to program edge IoT devices right the first time
- Month 3: membership card + Rebel Glitch merchandise via courier (South Africa only at current rollout)
- Use your card for free entry to Bunker sessions, hackathons, and bigger Rebel Glitch events — we look here first for hosts and leaders
- Private graduate community, monthly masterclasses (live + recorded), employer briefs & job posts, GitHub showcase & optional IoT badge recognition
How billing works
One course per tier
Pass the final quiz and spend at least 21 days on your current tier before the next unlocks. Each tier builds on the last — no skipping.
Tier 1 entry
R250 first month, then R350/month while you're on Tier 1. Not sure yet? Try the free workshop before you subscribe.
Hardware & IoT
No kit required to start or progress. Optional IoT lessons are included at tier ends — buy boards only if you want the hands-on track. Rebel Guild is graduate membership after Tier 6.
Legacy members
On an older rate? We migrate you to current tier pricing when you pass your tier's final quiz — handled in billing, no forms to chase.
