Do you ship vendor licenses with tuition?
No. Tuition covers instruction, mentor time, and studio access. Bubble, Glide, Retool, and similar platforms bill you directly so ownership stays in your org.
FAQ
Questions we rehearse aloud
logistics
How often do Hyogo in-person days run?
Hybrid cohorts publish a calendar at enrollment. Most tracks schedule two synchronized Saturdays per month plus optional Osaka pop-ups for specific labs.
outcomes
What should I budget weekly beyond class hours?
Plan for three to five hours of async exercises, depending on track. Mentors publish expected prep before week one so teams can negotiate real capacity.
tools
Can we swap builder tools mid cohort?
Atelier and Inkwell tracks include one structured swap window. Ledger participants may request a swap if seats exist, reviewed case by case without guaranteed availability.
logistics
Is instruction delivered in English?
Primary materials and critiques are in English. Mentors fluent in Japanese can clarify compliance-heavy sections during Power Pages and governance labs.
outcomes
What artifacts should I expect to leave with?
Every participant ships a documented prototype, a decision log, and a handoff or operations README tailored to the cohort track—reviewed during the final desk session.
Case studies
Perishable logistics
Cold chain alerts without pager fatigue
