What is coursesindoha?
General

coursesindoha is a creative learning studio based school based in Marina, Lusail, offering structured courses for kids, teens, and adults in fashion, craft, art, and design.

We also run seasonal camps during summer and winter school breaks — Creative Camp and Mini-Founder Camp — and support individuals through 1:1 coaching. Everything is designed for real learning, creative confidence, and community connection.

coursesindoha was founded in 2019 as a course-based learning platform, and later evolved into a dedicated creative studio based on the growing demand for hands-on, skill-building courses.

coursesindoha was a pioneer in introducing beginner-focused sewing and crochet courses in Qatar, and has served over 12,000+ makers to date.

What types of courses do you offer?
Courses

coursesindoha offers structured, skill-based courses in fashion, sewing, embroidery, crochet, painting, drawing, and creative expression.

It’s a solid starting point for anyone considering a BFA in Fashion or launching their own fashion brand. We’re also working on launching a Fashion Business Accelerator focused on production, marketing, and fashion entrepreneurship.

For adults, we offer maker skills like sewing, crochet, and hand embroidery — not just to learn techniques, but as tools for calming practice and personal growth. Many members, including doctors, teachers, university students, senior citizens, and retired professionals, share how our courses positively impact their lives.

For kids and teens, we run junior courses in fashion design, crochet, hand embroidery, and art — along with empowerment and creative expression courses that build life skills, confidence, and creative identity.

What are you most proud of as a company?
Studio

We’ve supported over 12,000+ makers since 2019 — most of them complete beginners.

What we are truly proud of are the real human stories that shaped us:

“A cabin crew member once joined us feeling isolated, depressed, and in a deeply fragile state — even reaching a point where she felt life had no direction. Through the course, she found coping tools, people who listened, and a safe space where she felt heard. Over six months, we supported her well-being through small, consistent moments of care. She rediscovered herself and recovered. This experience shaped us and reminded us why our studio must exist.”

“We met a young girl who rarely spoke and struggled to connect with people. With personal care and gentle guidance, she slowly began expressing herself and discovering her creative potential. She often came to the studio just to see us — a place where she felt safe, connected, and comfortable enough to talk about her day.”

“We often meet retired professionals who simply want a place to belong. Some visit just to say hello, share tea, or sit in the lounge. For them, the studio is more than a class — it’s a space to connect, feel seen, and stay socially active.”

These moments remind us that our work goes beyond making.

It’s about healing, connection, purpose, and rediscovery.

Every week, we’re reminded why this space matters — and that is what makes us proud.

Why are coursesindoha course fees considered high?
General

To be transparent — our course fees are reasonably priced and reflect the depth, quality, and care behind every course we run.

In today’s noisy digital world, hands-on, maker-based skills are more valued than ever. We believe in compensating our mentors fairly for their lifelong dedication and time — not just for showing up, but for teaching with skill and purpose.

Our cohorts are intentionally small to ensure a focused, supportive learning environment. This limits how many members we can accept each cycle.

It’s also important to compare what we offer: a fully equipped studio, structured curriculum, personal mentorship, and a real creative journey — not just a drop-in class or hobby session.

We stand by our pricing as a reflection of respect for craft, for time, and for each member’s learning experience.

What will my child benefit apart from learning new skills?
Courses

Parents often share that their children become more focused, enjoy time away from screens, and feel proud of what they make. Many also see improvements in fine motor skills and general confidence. Creative time each week gives children a calm space to express themselves and feel more settled.

Will this help my child’s academic and future goals?
Courses

Yes. Our courses build discipline, commitment, and steady learning habits. These habits support academic progress and are valued in future school applications and activities. Creative courses also show a child’s interest, dedication, and involvement in meaningful work outside the classroom.

How does this course help my child develop their creative potential?
Courses

Each course is designed to help children think, explore, and communicate their ideas. Through weekly projects, they learn to plan, make decisions, and express their interests. Over time, this helps them understand what they enjoy and builds a strong foundation for their creative growth.

Do you have installment plans?
Courses

Yes. We partner with PayLater, which allows eligible students to split the course fee into 4 equal payments. Please speak with our course advisor if you would like support with the installment process.

What if my child misses a session? Will they get a cover-up session?
Courses

We understand that schedules can change. coursesindoha offers up to two free cover-up sessions with other active groups, based on mentor and studio availability. Additional cover-up sessions are 300 QAR each.

What is your refund, cancellation, and course transfer policy?
Courses

coursesindoha does not offer refunds, cancellations, or course transfers under any circumstances. Our cohorts run with limited seats and are designed around small group formats. Please ensure your schedule aligns before committing to the course.

Can I freeze my course and rejoin later?
Courses

Yes. You can request to freeze your course for up to 3 months. All freeze requests must be made before the upcoming session and are subject to available seats in future batches. Please email members@coursesindoha.com.

Do you offer trial sessions before enrolling?
Courses

No. We do not offer trial sessions. However, you can review the full syllabus, project list, and schedule before joining. Our course advisors are happy to guide you through what to expect.

Learn new skills, meet great people, and make something you're proud of—every week.
