WHY OC ACADEMY
Built around the messy middle, not the launch fairy tale.
Most course content jumps from “I have an idea” to “I made $1M”. OC Academy lives in the actual work between those headlines — and gives you a community to do it with.
Audience-first methodology
The 5-conversation validation sprint, learner-outcome maps, and a one-page brief that reviewers love. No more guessing what to teach.
Production that ships
Studio-quality lessons on a budget. Lighting, sound, scripts, and a batch-record workflow that turns a week of recording into an afternoon.
Cohorts that finish
Cohort cadence, live session formats, and community rituals that turn passive viewers into proud graduates posting receipts.
COURSES
Pick a class. Ship the thing.
Six self-contained classes covering the entire creator stack — from the first idea to your fifth six-figure cohort.
Scale Past 7 Figures
Offer ladders, hiring, and systems for evergreen and high-ticket revenue.
Engaged Cohorts that Finish
Design cohorts, live calls, and communities that lift completion rates.
Pre-Launch Marketing Playbook
Waitlists, email sequences, and launch week schedules that convert.
Launch Your LMS in a Weekend
A weekend-by-weekend plan to stand up a self-hosted LMS with payments.
Studio-Quality Lessons on a Budget
Lighting, sound, scripting, and editing that punch above their weight.
Foundations of Course Creation
Free fast-track from raw idea to a validated, outcome-driven course brief.
HOW IT WORKS
Three honest steps to your first paying cohort.
Validate in a week
Run the 5-conversation sprint. Walk away with a learner persona, a sharp brief, and the confidence to keep going.
Ship a beta cohort
Stand up your LMS in a weekend, batch-record your lessons, and onboard 10 paying beta students who help you tighten everything.
Scale on your terms
Plug in pre-launch playbooks, hire your first teammates, and run cohorts, evergreen, and high-ticket revenue lines side by side.
GRADUATES
Real receipts from real cohorts.
I had been “almost launching” my course for two years. The validation sprint cut through every excuse and I had paying beta students within five weeks.
Production class is a cheat code. I was filming with a $80 mic and a window. Now my lessons look broadcast and I record a week in one afternoon.
I came for the marketing playbook and stayed for the community. Six cohorts in, my completion rate sits at 94% and I genuinely look forward to teaching.
GOOD QUESTIONS
Things future graduates ask us most.
Do I need to be technical to take these classes?
Not at all. The Launch Your LMS class is designed for non-developers — we walk through every WordPress, Masteriyo, and Stripe screen together. If you can drag and drop, you can ship.
Is the free Foundations class actually free?
Yes — no credit card, no upsell wall. You get the full validation sprint, two video lessons, and a workbook. Roughly 5,400 creators have taken it; most go on to ship a paid course within 90 days.
How does the cohort model work?
Cohorts are time-boxed (4–6 weeks). Each Monday a new group starts together, with weekly live sessions, async work, and a private community. You can also self-pace — every class is yours forever once enrolled.
Can I get a refund if it isn’t a fit?
We offer a 14-day, no-questions-asked refund on every paid class. If the work shows up done in your account and it just wasn’t for you, you’ll get a full refund.
Do you offer team or scholarship pricing?
Yes. Teams of 3+ get a 25% group rate, and we reserve 10 scholarship seats per cohort for creators from under-represented backgrounds. Email hello@oc.academy and tell us your story.
YOUR TURN
The next cohort starts on Monday. Save your seat.
Start with the free Foundations class — by Friday you will have a validated idea, a learner persona, and a course brief you are proud of.
