AIM Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiroki Odaka) will open the online school 'AI Beginner Academy' in April 2026.
Among the pre-launch students, there are cases where beginners achieved monthly sales of 2 million yen within six months of starting their studies. The school features a practical curriculum that leads to monetization even for beginners.
Prior to the opening, we have started accepting applications for a free online seminar introducing the school's details.
### Background of Opening
In recent years, with the rapid spread of generative AI, the demand for personnel who can utilize AI in business has been increasing. Meanwhile, as CEO Hiroki Odaka conducts corporate training and lectures as an AI instructor, many participants have voiced concerns such as:
- I want to learn AI but don't know where to start.
- Self-study doesn't reach a level applicable to practical work.
- I don't know how to connect it to side jobs or work.
Although generative AI is essentially a tool that expands the possibilities for many people, the inability to master it is becoming a new skill gap. According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's job information site 'job tag,' the average annual income of AI engineers is approximately 6.28 million yen, significantly higher than the Japanese average salary (National Tax Agency: approx. 4.6 million yen). Additionally, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry estimates that advanced human resources in the AI and IT sectors will be in short supply by a maximum of approximately 790,000 people by 2030.
Against this background, we have opened 'AI Beginner Academy' as an environment where even AI beginners can step-by-step acquire skills to a level where they can monetize or utilize AI in business. This school aims not only to learn AI as knowledge but also to acquire practical skills that lead to work and side jobs.
### Features of AI Beginner Academy
AI Beginner Academy is an online school where even inexperienced individuals can systematically learn AI to a level where they can utilize it for practical work or side jobs. This school emphasizes building 'knowledge assets usable for side jobs.' By comprehensively learning AI and side jobs, we aim to help students broaden their skills step-by-step in a style that suits them and acquire practical skills that can be expanded horizontally as work.
We have achieved a monthly fee in the lowest industry class, according to our survey comparing major business online schools (as of February 2026).
The main features are as follows:
- Over 600 lecture videos provided
- A systematic curriculum that even AI beginners can learn step-by-step
- Learning environment with Q&A support
- Content directly linked to practice, such as SNS operation, document creation, and image generation
- Continuous provision of update lectures on the latest AI tools
- Systematized practical know-how cultivated in corporate training into a form that AI beginners can reproduce
Among the students of AI Beginner Academy, there are entrepreneurs who have started utilizing AI in their own businesses despite being beginners, with cases of achieving monthly sales of 2 million yen six months after starting. Furthermore, by incorporating AI-driven visibility enhancement, advertising, and content creation into existing businesses, new customers have been acquired, and the repeat rate improved by 50% compared to before AI introduction, leading to continuous business growth.
