Most people who walk into our Hassan Abdal campus ask the same question before anything else: where do I start? Eight courses on a list is genuinely hard to choose between when you do not yet know what the words mean.
So here is the honest version. Not the marketing version — the one we would give you if you were sitting across the desk.
Start here if you have never written code
Web Starter is the front door. HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and Bootstrap — the four things every other web course assumes you already know.
You do not need any programming background. You need to be comfortable using a computer and typing reasonably quickly. That is genuinely it.
By the end you can build a working, responsive website from a design and put it online. That is a real skill with a real market, and it is the foundation everything else on this list sits on.
If you are starting from zero, start with Web Starter. Almost every other course here expects the skills it teaches.
The three routes after Web Starter
Once you can build a front end, the paths split. Which one you take depends far more on what kind of work you want than on what is "most advanced".
Route 1 — build the thing (Web Dev)
Web Dev takes you server-side: PHP, MySQL, Laravel and WordPress. This is where a website stops being pages and starts being a system — logins, databases, admin panels, content that someone can edit without touching code.
This is the deepest technical route and the one with the widest job market in Pakistan. It is also the one that most rewards patience. Take it if you enjoyed the logic parts of JavaScript rather than the visual parts of CSS.
Route 2 — run the thing (Web Manager)
Web Manager covers hosting, Linux, cPanel and DNS. It is the least glamorous course on the list and one of the most consistently useful.
Every business with a website eventually has a hosting problem, an email-delivery problem or a domain problem, and very few people locally can fix them properly. If you like solving concrete problems and being the person who knows why something broke, this is your course.
Route 3 — get it found (Web Optimizer)
Web Optimizer is on-page, technical and local SEO. A beautiful website nobody can find is an expensive brochure, and businesses know it — which is why SEO work is some of the easiest freelance work to sell.
You need to be able to read a page's HTML to do this well, which is why we put it after Web Starter rather than before it.
The specialist courses
These three do not sit on the Web Starter → Web Dev spine. They are their own tracks.
- App Dev — Flutter, Dart, Firebase and APIs. Mobile apps for Android and iOS from one codebase. Take it if the thing you actually want to build is an app, not a website.
- Digital Marketer — PPC, ads, analytics and strategy. The numbers side of marketing. No coding required, but you must be comfortable with spreadsheets and honest about results.
- Social Media Marketing — Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp advertising. The most immediately sellable skill on this list for small local businesses, many of whom have a page and no idea what to do with it.
Where AI Starter fits
AI Starter — prompting, vibe coding and AI-assisted SEO — is the one course that pairs with everything else rather than replacing anything.
We are deliberate about this: AI Starter makes a developer faster. It does not make a non-developer into a developer. If you take it first, you will produce code you cannot debug, and debugging is the job. Take it alongside or after a technical course, not instead of one.
What it costs
Web Starter is PKR 9,000 per month for physical classes at the Hassan Abdal campus, or PKR 5,500 per month for live online classes. Fees for the other courses depend on the batch and format and are confirmed when you enrol.
Fees are charged monthly, in advance, so you are never committed further than the month you have paid for. The full detail is in our terms.
A suggested order
If you are starting from nothing and want the most employable combination in the shortest sensible time:
- Web Starter — build things that work in a browser.
- Web Dev — make them do something useful.
- Web Manager or Web Optimizer — become the person who can also deploy it or get it found.
- AI Starter — alongside any of the above, once you can already read code.
That combination — can build it, can deploy it, can get it ranked — is rare locally and is what turns a trainee into someone a business will keep paying.
Common questions
Do I need my own laptop?
For physical classes at the Hassan Abdal campus you can work on our machines, though most trainees prefer their own so they can carry on at home. For online classes you will need your own computer and a stable internet connection.
Can I take two courses at the same time?
You can, and AI Starter pairs well with any technical course. We would not recommend running two heavy technical courses together — the project work is where the learning happens, and it takes real hours.
How long does a course take?
It varies by batch. Most trainees finish a course in a few weeks with regular attendance and their project work kept up to date. Courses are project-based, so completion depends on finishing the work rather than sitting through a fixed number of weeks.
What if I pick the wrong course?
Tell us and we will move you to a different batch where there is space, adjusting the fee to the rate for that format. Since fees are monthly and paid in advance, changing your mind costs you a month at most.
Do you help with jobs afterwards?
We cannot promise a job — anyone who does is selling you something. What we can do is make sure you finish with real projects you built yourself, which is what employers and freelance clients actually ask to see.
Still not sure?
Tell us what you want to be able to do in a year and we will tell you which course gets you there — including if the answer is "none of ours yet". Send us a message or call the campus.
