This Knowledge Base version expands that into a plain guide for AM.CO.ZA clients and staff.
What VEST is
VEST stands for Video Engagement and Skill Training. It is a practical course run by Ambitious Academy, the training school in the AM.CO.ZA group, that teaches people to film, edit and publish attention-grabbing short videos using just a phone. It covers the whole process from concept to completion: phone setup and optimisation, essential gear, lighting, composition, storyboarding, dynamic shooting, clean audio, editing and post-production.
It is aimed at influencers, entrepreneurs, business owners and employees. For an AM.CO.ZA client that has just bought a machine, it is a way to learn to make short videos that promote their own products and services.
The course was created by the team behind the AchievementMatters YouTube channel, which has earned a YouTube Silver Creator award.
Course levels
According to the VEST course page on Ambitious Academy, the training is split into three levels:
- Rookie: Introduction to Videography. Phone setup, lighting, composition and filming fundamentals, for beginners with no experience.
- VEST Pro: Setting Up Successful Scenes. Scene planning, camera movement, clean audio and editing techniques.
- Master: Start Telling Engaging Stories. Storytelling, branding, pacing and social engagement strategies that get viewers to act.
The course page also mentions a prize for the best final video, such as a one-year CapCut Pro subscription.
Formats
VEST has been offered in more than one format:
- Full-day class course. The original VEST is a 10-day, two-week weekday, full-day class course at Ambitious Academy (in person, not online).
- Evening classes. From 1 September 2025, VEST added night classes for working people. The Buythis product AA-VEST is listed as the monthly night course.
- Online course. From late 2025 VEST is also available as an online course, where the instructor guides students virtually from planning and basic setups to advanced post-production.
Check vest.co.za or ask Ambitious Academy for the next session dates and the current format.
How to book
- The course is sold on Buythis as SKU AA-VEST: VEST, Video Engagement Skill Training, Monthly Night Course (AA-VEST). The purchase page is buythis.co.za/aa-vest.
- AA-VEST is a training course, not a physical product, so it is not dispatched from the warehouse. After payment is confirmed, the booking goes to Ambitious Academy, which handles enrolment.
- Questions about the course can go to info@ambitious.co.za, or see Ambitious Academy courses and upcoming events.
