  • Oomou fasttracks professionals into new tech domains such as AI, IoT, Web3, crypto and blockchain through self-paced online courses and real-world networking opportunities.

  • Our courses are designed for anyone looking to make a career change into a new tech domain, whether you're an industry professional seeking new skills or a career-changer ready to explore a fast-evolving field.

  • Each course features a blend of self-paced, video-led online learning alongside regular live sessions with industry leaders. There are session reviews and work will potentially be set during the sessions to increase your hands-on understanding of a subject. You’ll finish with practical skills and new professional connections and opportunities.

  • Self-paced learning is a style of instruction where learners progress through material at their own speed over a set time (ie. the duration of our courses) and on their own schedule, allowing flexibility and personalised learning without fixed deadlines.

  • A live session in terms of Oomou’s courses is a session of between two and four hours (usually on a Saturday as we find our learners prefer this day) via Zoom. There will also be a course leader on hand throughout and at least one “industry expert” to give you a more interactive experience.

  • See the above answer. These sessions can vary in format but they will always have an interactive element with our team or “industry experts”, plus they will always have discussions on subject understanding and session reviews.

  • No previous tech experience is required — just a willingness to learn and participate in video-led learning and engaging community discussions.

  • After your course, you’ll join the Oomou community and get access to news, job opportunities, freelance projects, part-time contracts and networking events with industry leaders who are looking for people with new tech skills in specific domains.

  • Our next course starts in January 2026 and then there are other courses later in 2026. Each lasts four weeks and combines flexible self-paced learning with live, interactive sessions

  • Browse upcoming courses on our website and enroll online — just select your course, sign up, pay our competitive course fee and get started! If you enroll early enough, you’ll take advantage of our early bird offers.

  • Not right now. However, in the near future, we will have a way to join our community and apply for jobs even if you haven’t done a course. For now, join a course and then you will have automatic entry into our community and jobs forum.

  • That’s up to you and the hirer. However, completing a course and gaining a certificate vastly improves your chance of getting the job or freelance project as we will make recommendations on your behalf if you have performed well.

  • Oomou was co-founded by Oscar Venhuis, a EdTech venture builder and educator in Hong Kong, and Matt Fleming, a UK-based editor, journalist and Artificial Intelligence events organiser. Together, they bring expertise from top companies and media worldwide.
