UPSKILL TIERS
Progress through seven tiers — one course per level — from GUI-first professional websites to full-stack apps, flagship optional IoT, and the Master Circle. Start today — hardware optional.
Start with Tier 1
then R350/month while you stay on Tier 1
Tier 1 is GUI-first: you design interfaces and ship professional, client-ready websites — with UX, brand voice, client branding, and strong SEO (plus optional SEO-as-a-service). Included at no extra cost: Rebel Glitch Tier 1 master prompts for web (pages in minutes), branding (with three sales/branding documents — psychology, voice, archetypes — beyond logo and colors), and SEO (structured data, sitemaps, and full on-page discipline). In Tier 2 you add application logic to the sites you built here. The R150 first month is a low-friction start; then R350/month while you stay on Tier 1 until you complete it. Higher tiers each have their own rate; unlock the next tier by finishing the current one (pricing on each card below).
Tier 1
GUI-First Web Design, Branding & Professional Sites
You ship professional, client-ready websites — GUI first — with UX, brand voice, and SEO. Tier 1 includes Rebel Glitch master prompts for web, branding, and SEO at no extra cost, so you work faster and more professionally before Tier 2 adds functionality.
- 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
- Included — Branding master prompt + three sales/branding documents (psychology, voice, archetypes, and more): many clients think brand is only logo and colors — you uncover voice, fine-tune it, and bake it into the GUI; use it as an additional income stream
- Included — SEO master prompt: structured data, sitemaps, and full on-page discipline so sites are search-ready; foundation to sell SEO as an add-on
- Generative AI & AI-assisted workflows across GUI, client work, and SEO — not just faster, more professional
R 350/month
Tier 2
Web Application Development
You've built GUIs that stand with clients — on-brand, professional, built with today's techniques. Tier 2 adds real backend logic, data, APIs, and deployment — plus Rebel Glitch Cursor skill files (database, rules, MD, Resend email, and more) so setup matches how we ship production apps.
- 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
- Deployment: environments, hosting, secrets, CI/CD basics, and shipping builds to production with confidence
- Included — Rebel Glitch Cursor skill files for Tier 2: database skills, rule files, Markdown rendering skills, Resend email skills, and more
- Those skill files connect and configure databases and email the way we run production — in Cursor you can say “send an email” and it uses the same Resend setup we use every day on our site
- AI-driven scaffolding & DevOps basics — faster iteration without skipping engineering discipline
- Real-world web app portfolio piece you can show employers
R 450/month
Tier 3
Mobile Application Development
You ship mobile apps that extend your Tier 1 GUI and web stack: React Native with AI-assisted tooling, one shared database with your web app, and live iteration from Cursor straight to your phone.
- 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
- Develop in Cursor with live reload: see changes on your phone in real time as you edit
- Native features & app store deployment; optional free IoT bridge module — extra doors, not required
R 550/month
Tier 4
Full Stack Architect — Personalization, Integrations & Growth
Polish and level up everything you shipped so far: move from a professional app developer who knows their stacks toward a full stack architect — personalization, experiments, CLIs, and deep integrations with the services businesses already use.
- 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
- Business API integrations — e.g. Xero: pull financials into dashboards, sync online cart transactions, connect what customers already run
R 650/month
Tier 5
Advanced AI, ML & RAG
Vectors and vector databases for millisecond semantic search over documents and more; a full RAG track; custom datasets and neural-network training — then wire it all into production.
- 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
- Predictive pipelines and shipping trained AI into your apps and APIs
R 750/month
Tier 6
Intelligent IoT & AI Hardware
The first tier where IoT is the only path: move from basic connected hardware to intelligent, AI-capable devices on the edge — computer vision, on-device models, and production-grade firmware.
- 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
- Computer vision, predictive AI, and shipping models on hardware — not just in the cloud
R 850/month
Tier 7
RebelGlitch Master Circle
Prestige graduate tier: private community, masterclasses, employer briefs — plus a Cursor-connected CLI for IoT edge work, membership card & merch, and event access. Master Circle opens after Tiers 1–6; the invite-only Golden Circle rewards what you actually ship.
- 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
- Master Circle: open to graduates who completed Tiers 1–6 — not another course; a prestige club with real guard rails
- Golden Circle (inside Tier 7): invite-only — ~80% of criteria are what you produce, what you shipped, and what you sent us for review; seven Rebel Glitch–certified projects required for consideration (minimum pass ≠ automatic Gold)
