The market, verified.
We checked fourteen providers of AI coding training and setup, on their own websites, in July 2026. Three publish a price. Two leave you with a working setup instead of knowledge. Here is the whole table, so you can compare before you talk to anyone, including us.
One row per provider. Every fact comes from the provider's own site. Where a cell says not published, the provider does not list it and you will need a sales call to find out.

Be a Factory is our own service, which is why it sits in the table with the same columns as everyone else. Facts verified on each provider's site, July 27, 2026. Two further Claude consulting domains were excluded because their public claims could not be verified. Tell us if a row is out of date and we will fix it.
Four things separate these offers, and price is the least of them. First, who it is for: most of the market sells to companies that already employ engineers, and a 50-person cohort program is a different product from two days at a founder's table. Second, what you leave with: training that ends in a certificate depends entirely on what your team does the following week, while a setup that is installed and running has already survived the following week. Third, where it happens: on your machines with your accounts and your real project, or in a demo environment that resets when the session ends. Fourth, whether the price is a number or a negotiation.
Eleven of fourteen providers publish no price. Two promise an installed setup rather than knowledge: Wavect, for regulated enterprises on their own infrastructure, and CodeSeed, remotely, for small businesses. Three serve people without a technical background: CodeSeed, NobleProg's four-hour introduction, and the Vibe Coding Incubator's virtual cohort. No provider we found combines a published all-in price, a fixed short duration, in-person delivery, and a working setup left behind. That combination is the product we sell, which is both why we built it and why you should read this page as a vendor's research that you can check line by line, not neutral journalism.
Start free: Anthropic runs Claude Code webinars and in-person events, and partners run free introductory sessions. For a paid workshop, Zartis is an Anthropic services partner running half-day to two-day sessions onsite in Europe, Claude Workshop runs onsite sessions worldwide with an adoption plan as the deliverable, and workshops.de and breadcrumb cover the German-speaking market, with breadcrumb publishing the lowest onsite team price at €1,000. If you need a per-seat number for a budget request today, NobleProg is the only large provider that publishes one: $4,054 per engineer for its 21-hour course, online. Your team can do its own setup afterward, which is exactly why a workshop alone can be enough here.
Your real choices shrink to four, and they are wildly different products at wildly different prices. The Vibe Coding Incubator costs $67: eight hours of live virtual training in a cohort of up to 400, and you finish with two template apps deployed. For finding out whether building with AI excites you, that is honestly hard to beat, and if that is the question you are answering, start there. NobleProg's four-hour introduction runs $1,630 per seat and ends with a small capstone. CodeSeed sets tools up on your hardware remotely, at an unpublished price. We fly to you anywhere, spend two days at your table, and leave a working factory on your machine for $5,000 all-in.
The honest way to choose: pay $67 to find out if you want this, and pay for setup once you know you do. What separates the setup tier is what exists a month later. A cohort recording does not answer questions about your machine, your accounts, or your product, and the founders we work with are not trying to learn a curriculum. They are trying to ship something specific, starting the morning after.
Because most AI training is sold like consulting: a discovery call, a scoped proposal, a quote shaped by what the buyer looks able to pay. Eleven of the fourteen providers we checked publish no price at all. If you are comparing options, make every provider give you a number for the same two things: total cost, and what exists on your machines when they leave.
Four questions do most of the work. What is the total price, including travel? How long does it take? Do you work on our machines and our accounts, or on demo environments? And what is left running when you leave: a slide deck, a certificate, or tools we use the next morning? The answers sort the market fast.
A good workshop teaches patterns, and for an existing engineering team that can be enough, because the team can do its own setup afterward. If there is no engineering team, knowledge without setup tends to evaporate within a month. That gap is why we set up the tools on your machine and train you on your own setup rather than teach from slides.
Yes. Anthropic runs free Claude Code webinars and in-person events, and several partners run free introductory workshops. They are generic and group-format by nature, and never on your own machine, but they are a real way to find out whether this world interests you before spending anything.
No. We fly to you, spend two days at your table, and set up a working AI software factory on your machine: coding agents from every major provider, marketing tools, and the playbooks to run them. Training happens on your own setup as we build it. The $5,000 includes our flights and hotel. You keep the factory.
