Everything you need to know about us — our courses, camps, studio, and Mentors.Clear answers to help you understand how we teach, how we work, and how to begin your creative journey with us.

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.

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

We run Fashion Accelerator Program designed to teach hands-on practical skills in sewing, pattern making, and design thinking. 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.

Our studios are open 7 days a week. Most courses and coaching sessions run between 10 AM and 8 PM. Morning, afternoon, and evening slots are available depending on the course schedule.

Our Mentors are real practitioners with years of hands-on experience — makers, artists, designers, and creative educators.

They teach with patience, clarity, and kindness, and guide members step by step through each project.

We are proud that 100% of our Mentors are female, creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for kids, teens, and women.

We offer courses for:

• Kids (ages 6–11)
• Teens (ages 12–16)
• Adults (women only, 18+)
• Each course page shows the age group and eligibility clearly.

Most courses run for 4–24 weeks depending on the course type.

• Maker and painting courses: 4–12 weeks
• Fashion Accelerator: 8–24 weeks
• Kids & Teens courses: 12–16 weeks

Our studio is home to a diverse community:

• 70% Qatari members
• 20% Western expats
• 10% other Arab and Asian families

Around 90% of our members are girls and women across different age groups.

Boys make up the remaining 10%, mainly in junior art and creative expression courses.

All our mentors are highly skilled female practitioners.

We follow a careful hiring process to ensure every Mentor aligns with our teaching values and studio culture.

This includes:

• Portfolio review
• Technical skills check
• Teaching demonstration
• Mindset and communication interview
• Trial sessions with members

Most of our courses are designed for complete beginners. We also offer level-based courses and coaching for those who want to continue or go deeper.Each course lists the level and learning outcomes. As demand grows, we plan to introduce more advanced courses for returning learners.

All sessions are hands-on and project-based. Members work step-by-step on skill-building projects under the guidance of a mentor. Each session builds confidence, creativity, and technical ability.

We want to keep our studio calm, welcoming, and focused for everyone.

• Members can bring drinks or light snacks to the studio.
• Complimentary tea, coffee, and small treats are available during sessions.
• Please be careful not to spill drinks and keep your space clean.
• Phones must be silenced during sessions — we maintain a low-distraction learning space.

We keep group sizes small: usually 4–8 members per course. In our Creative Studio and Empowerment courses, groups may include 12–15 girls or boys. Our typical mentor-to-student ratio is 1:4 for courses.

All courses are developed in-house by our creative education team.

We follow a structured syllabus with clear learning outcomes, hands-on projects, and step-by-step progression.

Each course is shaped based on real community needs, skill gaps, and years of teaching experience.

Yes, selectively. We consider co-developing a course when:

You can book online or talk to our course advisor for help choosing the right course. We recommend early booking — many of our cohorts fill quickly due to limited seats.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
