What is a vibe coding certification?

A vibe coding certification is a credential that verifies you can build working software by directing AI coding tools like Lovable, Cursor and Claude Code. The Maker AI Vibe Coding Certification goes further: you earn it by launching a real app that passes a published review rubric, and every certificate has a public verification page anyone can check.

Build with the tools clients and hiring managers ask for

• Lovable
• Cursor
• Claude Code
• Bolt
• Replit
• Supabase
• Stripe
• GitHub

Anyone can generate an app now. Proof that you can ship one is rare.

AI coding tools turned app building into a weekend project. That is exactly why job posts, clients and investors are asking a sharper question: can you take an idea all the way to a live product that people use and pay for?

Most certificates answer a different question. They prove you watched the videos.

This one proves you shipped.

How this certification compares

Vibe coding taught by people who sell software

Most vibe coding teachers show you how to build. Jonathan and Stefan spent years selling software and digital products before AI made building easy, so every module is built around one goal: an app people actually buy.

• Spy and Clone

  Start from software that already makes money and clone what works, the ethical way, so you never start from a blank page.

• Score Before You Build

  Check demand, competition and pricing before your first prompt, so you only build ideas with buyers.

• Sales-First Build Prompts

  Your landing page, pricing and checkout are built in from day one, ready to take payments at launch.

• The Comment Ladder

  Jonathan's method for turning simple posts into comments, comments into DMs and DMs into customers.

• The $18M Marketing System

  The same content, ads and launch playbook behind our own software and digital product sales.

You graduate with more than a working app. You graduate knowing how to sell it.

Vibe coding certification FAQ

What is a vibe coding certification?

A vibe coding certification is a credential that verifies you can build working software by directing AI coding tools instead of writing every line of code yourself. The strongest certifications check real output, not just course completion. Ours is earned by launching a real app that passes a reviewed capstone, and every certificate can be verified publicly.

What is the Maker AI Vibe Coding Certification?

It is a guided program from Maker AI that takes you from your first prompt to a launched product: finding an idea, validating demand, building the app, securing it, shipping it and getting your first users. You finish with a live app of your own and a verifiable credential you can share on LinkedIn.

Do I need coding experience?

No coding experience is needed. The program is designed for people who have never written code. You learn how to give AI tools clear instructions, test what they build and fix problems with prompts, which are the core skills of vibe coding.

Which tools will I learn?

You will build with the tools people are hiring for right now: Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code, Bolt and Replit, plus Supabase for data and logins and Stripe for payments. You also learn how to choose the right tool for each job, so your skills keep their value as the tools change.

How do I earn the certificate?

You complete the training, then build and launch your capstone app. Your capstone is reviewed against a published rubric alongside a short knowledge check. If something needs work, you revise and resubmit. Once you pass, you receive your certificate, a public verification page and a LinkedIn credential.

How is this different from Lovable's in-app vibe coding level?

Lovable's in-app level is a useful signal of experience on its platform. The Maker AI certification covers several tools and is earned by launching a complete app that passes a reviewed capstone. It also covers validation, security and getting customers, and it comes with a public verification page.

Will employers and clients recognize it?

The certification is issued by Maker AI rather than a university or government body. Its value comes from verification: anyone can open your verification page, see the skills you were assessed on and use your live app. That is concrete proof a hiring manager or client can check in seconds.

What will the AI tools cost me?

Plan on about $25 a month for an AI builder such as Lovable, plus Stripe's fee only when you make a sale. Many tools offer free tiers you can start on while you learn.

When does enrollment open?

Enrollment opens soon. Everyone on the waitlist gets the invite by email before it is announced anywhere else, and members who invite friends move closer to the front of the line.

How much will it cost?

Pricing will be announced when enrollment opens. Waitlist members hear it first and get founding member pricing, the lowest price this certification will ever have.

How is this connected to MakerAI?

The certification teaches the same Find, Validate, Build and Launch system that runs inside MakerAI, created by the same founders. You will learn the method in depth and prove it by shipping your own app.
