I.
What it is.
The Human Tools Experience is a 120-day cognitive skills programme that helps you identify the thinking errors, cognitive biases, and habitual reactions shaping your decisions, relationships, and daily behaviour.
Then you’ll replace them with the six core cognitive skills that determine how you think, learn, decide, solve problems, and respond to life’s challenges.
II.
What you do.
It is a deeply personal and deeply revealing experience, where the curriculum is you.
You’ll learn the most evidence-based techniques from psychological science, taught as tools, applied in real time to your own life.
Your thoughts. Your decisions. Your patterns. Your problems. Not theory. Not concepts. The work of becoming someone who thinks, decides, and lives deliberately.
III.
How long it takes.
It starts with five days. Then it stays with you for a year.
Five days live in Cape Town or Dubai. Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 8pm. Fifty hours in one room with one cohort. This is where you change.
Then 115 days of structured integration. This is where you embed the tools until they become the way you think.
Then the HT Forum. A small group from your own cohort that keeps meeting for a year, so you use the tools for life, next to people who use them too.
HT Forum
A support network of people to do the work with, under real direction.

Built from the primary literature
You catch the thought before it runs you. Name the distortion and it loses its grip.
Six core cognitive skills. One programme.
- 01MetacognitionLearn to observe your own thinking. Recognise thinking errors, cognitive biases, and habitual patterns shaping your life before they shape your future.
- 02Critical thinkingEvaluate ideas with clarity, challenge assumptions, question your own conclusions, and separate evidence from emotion.
- 03Learning to learnUnderstand how your mind learns best. Build the ability to acquire new skills, adapt to change, and keep improving throughout life.
- 04Problem solvingDefine the real problem before trying to solve it. Think systematically, generate better solutions, and overcome challenges with confidence.
- 05Decision makingMake better decisions under uncertainty, emotion, and stress. Learn a process you can trust when it matters.
- 06Emotional resilienceBuild psychological flexibility, the ability to step back from difficult thoughts, emotions, and situations, respond deliberately, and stay effective under pressure.
What you leave with.
You can solve problems that used to defeat you.
The thing you have been stuck on for years. You have a way to work through it now.
You control your reaction.
You don't snap. You don't send the message you would take back an hour later.
You catch the thinking error before it lands.
You notice the thought is rubbish while you are having it, not a week later.
Your mind goes quiet.
You stop going over the same thing again and again. You sleep.
You understand why you do what you do.
You finally see why you keep doing the same thing, so you can stop.
You decide from what you value, not what you fear.
You pick what is right for you, not what scares you the least.
You question your own reasoning before you trust it.
You check whether you are right before you act like you are.
You can learn anything you need, for the rest of your life.
Any skill you need from here, you know how to go and get it.
You get your hope back.
You stop expecting the worst. You start believing things can actually get better.
The Curriculum
The curriculum is you.
You bring the actual problems running your life right now.
The decision you’ve been avoiding for two years. The argument you keep having. The pattern you can see but can’t break. The thing you’ve never said out loud to anyone.
These aren’t side material. They are the curriculum.
By Day 5, most people walk out with nothing left on the list.
Read this before you apply.
Who this is for
Mother. Father. Boss. Builder. Partner. Friend.
Whatever you do, whoever you are.
From the outside it looks fine. Inside, you know there’s more.
You’ve tried things. Read the books. Watched the podcasts. Got somewhere, then ended up back at the same window looking at the same view.
You’re tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix. You have the same conversation in your head on a loop. You’re competent at everything except being yourself.
You want to change. You’re willing to do the work.
If that’s you, this works.
Who this isn’t for
- You want to feel better for a week, then go back to your life.
- You’re hoping someone else will do the work for you.
- You can’t sit with a hard truth about yourself for more than 24 hours.
- You’re looking for a place to hide, not a place to change.
- You’re in active crisis. You need clinical support, not a behavioural intensive.

Questions
Everything you need to know.
We have trained thousands of people, just like you. We have the data, the results, and the outcomes. Training should work. Training should deliver a result. And training should be sold on results. We know what we do. We know how we do it. And we know it works. You don’t, yet. So we make the choice to come as easy as possible. Training should be sold like any product. It should work.
No. It’s education. The practical skills of thinking, deciding, and solving problems. No diagnosis. No treatment. Just tools.
Because this doesn’t happen on a screen. What shifts in that room happens between real people in real time. That’s not a limitation — it’s the point.
115 days of structured follow-up — 20 to 30 minutes a day online, plus bi-weekly live Zoom classes. We’re not interested in you forgetting this by the weekend.
Hundreds of people. Every cohort we’ve measured has shown the same result — a measurable change in how people solve problems, make decisions, and think clearly. The only variable that has ever changed the outcome is willingness to show up.
Until now we have never advertised. Every person in every room came because someone who had already been there told them to go. This is the first time we have opened spots beyond referral.
Daily snacks, tea, coffee and lunch. The full course. Workbook. 115-day follow-up. Graduation black-tie gala dinner.
Flights. Accommodation. Transport to and from the venue.

No. Please contact your embassy or South African VFS directly for all visa requirements.
You can find upcoming dates here.
70 people. We cap it. A group you are seen in. Not a stadium you’re lost in.
No. You decide what you share, when, and with whom. The work is yours — we hand you the tools, you choose how publicly you use them.
This is psychoeducation, not clinical treatment. If you’re in active crisis, you need clinical support first. Otherwise, we discuss it on the discovery call to check this is the right fit for you.
Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 8pm. Five days, on site, in the room.
Each seat is one person. If your partner wants to attend, they apply separately for the same or a future cohort.
The 5 days are a sequence. Each day builds on the last. You’re expected at all 5. We don’t refund for non-attendance and we don’t run catch-up sessions.
Two ways to come in — a payment plan or pay upfront. The full breakdown, per-day and per-hour comparisons, and what’s included is on our investment page.

If you genuinely can’t afford the programme, we offer bursaries. Apply via a discovery call.
Please only use this option if you honestly can’t afford it. We’ve made the programme as affordable as we can with payment plans — the bursary is reserved for people for whom that still isn’t enough.

The course is designed to limit the impact. You only need three days off — Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Saturday and Sunday are your weekend.
But the question isn’t can you. It’s are you willing to do something for you?
When was the last time you took three days off for you?

No. It’s science-based, researched, and proven to work across thousands of people. Read about the method to learn more.
Check our trainer page.
Absolutely. Check our social media — you never hear anything from inside the room. Ever.
Only if you wish to give a testimonial at the end — which is completely up to you.
All food is halal. Other dietary requirements will be catered for — let us know when you book.
Casual. Comfy. Come as you are. Graduation dinner is black tie.
Why you should attend.
Because
the average adult does not get the cognitive and behavioural education that makes life manageable.
Because
almost everything you think is a personal flaw is a missing skill.
Because
the tools that work for the most stuck, anxious, and depressed people in clinical care also work — better and faster — for well people who simply want to live more clearly.
Because
we have removed all the risk for you. You only pay when it works. Nobody does this. We checked.
Because
50 hours of focused work in five days, applied to your actual life, produces a depth of change that ordinary life rarely allows for and weekly therapy cannot produce.
Because
750+ people have done this, recommend it, and the only complaint we have ever heard is that they wish they’d done it sooner.
And because
The five days are not the end. The 115 days that follow make sure the person you became in the room is the person you remain. And the HT Forum keeps the problems away.
