Who it's for

Professionals adapting deliberately

In the coming years, we will be evaluated by what we have built, not by credentials alone.

Practitioners

Adapting their own practice, or sent by their firm to bring capability back.

Graduates

Seeking mentorship, direction and advanced skills early.

Builders

Working in the accounting domain on their next venture.

Career changers

Pursuing qualification with specialisation from day one.

No spectators. Everyone builds something they can use, defend, and take forward.

The environment

Designed to enable your progress

Network School is located on Forest City, a modern island development in Johor, Malaysia — forty minutes from Singapore's Changi Airport. Cost of living is significantly less than Singapore, Australia or any major Western city.

The advantage here is continuity of attention.

Serviced accommodation, meals, gym training and shared working spaces are all onsite. No commuting. No cooking. No domestic logistics. Remove the daily tasks that fragment your cognitive bandwidth. When you're not constantly switching contexts between life's usual demands, you can actually make progress.

You'll work within a global community of innovators and technologists while remaining active in your own practice or remote role. Singapore is across the strait for conferences and business engagements.

🏫 Network School

A global community of remote workers, founders, professionals and technologists. Membership covers accommodation, coworking, high-speed wifi, gym with personal trainers, three healthy daily meals, and access to all programming — talks, workshops and events. It's a serviced lifestyle.

🎤 High-calibre presenters

Network School runs a full and active calendar of sessions led by experienced technologists and founders from diverse fields. Daily sessions cover applying AI tools, learning by building, content creation, and taking products to market. The calendar changes weekly, but the format stays consistent: active, participant-driven learning.

🏠 Apartment living

CREDU Academy participants share serviced apartments — with full living spaces, and room to work, study and live for three months. Suitable for those with a partner or children. This is a working residency, not a hotel stay.

🌏 Strategic for Asia-Pacific

Easy access from Australia, India, China and across Southeast Asia — with a comfortable time zone for working remotely. Singapore next door for flights and the broader tech and business ecosystem. Network School offers Malaysian visa support for longer stays.

The CREDU programme

Learn Hands-On & Implement

This is a working residency, not a curriculum. There are no spectators, no tracks, no levels.

Three months of structured immersion produces more applied output than a much longer period of fragmented evenings and online study. CREDU adds accounting industry focus to Network School's regular programming and is customised around what each cohort brings and where they need to get to.

  • Establish cross-border collaboration structures and a verified professional profile
  • Contribute to the initial proof of concept for CREDU's decentralised credentialing framework — a borderless expertise-signalling system being developed onsite

What's possible for you

You set the ambition.
We support the execution.

Some participants will ship a working product. Others will develop a strategy. Everyone will leave with more capability than they arrived with.

  • Deployable systems, workflows or prototypes you built
  • Practical ability to build and modify software using AI-assisted tools
  • A professional development strategy on your own terms
  • Working relationships across jurisdictions
  • Self-assessed CPD hours recorded on blockchain
  • Contribution to CREDU's decentralised credentialing proof of concept

The certificate is evidence of application and output. It is not the objective. It is also the first artefact in a credentialing system you helped build.

The bigger picture

You're not just learning.
You're building the infrastructure.

CREDU Academy participants are the first contributors to CREDU — a verified credentialing and peer-to-peer marketplace for accountants being built onsite.

  • Your CPD hours are logged on-chain as part of the credentialing proof of concept
  • You help shape the peer-to-peer and agent-to-agent framework for how accountants will attain, prove, and monetise their credentials
  • Early participants become founding contributors to a system designed to replace passive credentialing with verifiable output
  • What you build during the residency becomes the first evidence in your verified professional profile

Verified Credentialing &
P2P-A2A Marketplace
for Accountants

A new standard for how accountants attain, prove and monetise their credentials. Peer-to-peer, agent-to-agent — where accountants and AI agents collaborate to learn, verify credentials, and transact.

Academy participants are building this from the inside.

The risk isn't joining too early.
It's adapting too late.

This gives you protected time and an environment you cannot create yourself — and that changes how fast you can move.

FAQ

Practical questions

Yes. Participants are expected to remain professionally active. The environment is designed to support uninterrupted remote work with high-speed internet and proximity to Asia-Pacific time zones. The residency does not require you to pause your income.
There is structure without rigidity: dedicated build blocks during weekdays, a weekly cohort working session, and one-to-one mentoring. Evenings and weekends are flexible for your own professional work or study. The residency is paced for sustained execution, not burnout.
Serviced apartments within Forest City, shared with other residents. Kitchen facilities and living spaces included. Meals are provided daily. The focus is on removing logistical friction rather than hotel-style luxury.
This residency is not for those seeking passive instruction, a holiday, or a speculative trading programme. It requires autonomy, discipline and a willingness to learn new things and experiment.
No. AI-assisted development tools allow professionals to build functional systems without a traditional computer science background. We value professional judgement and domain expertise over prior syntax knowledge.
CPD hours are self-assessed by participants and logged throughout the programme. Most professional accounting bodies recognise structured technical development and relevant mentoring. We recommend self-assessing against your specific body's framework. Hours are recorded on blockchain as part of CREDU's credentialing proof-of-concept that you are participating in (early mover!).
Professional standing is no longer secured by credentials and passive adoption alone. Your credentials got you this far. What you can actually build and deploy is what takes you forward. CREDU gives you three months to do the work instead of just talking about it.
