Basic ComfyUI: Learn, Build & Understand AI Workflows from Scratch
From Confused to Confident: Build Your First Workflows in ComfyUI
About This Course
Welcome to our beginner-friendly course, designed to help you install, explore, and create with ComfyUI all without feeling overwhelmed.
Whether you're just curious or ready to build, this 6-week course gently guides you through the core tools, workflows, and logic of ComfyUI.
In just 6 weeks, you'll be generating stunning images and videos with control, confidence, and clarity.
This is for people standing at the edge of a powerful new tool, and yet are unsure where to begin.
If you've tried watching a few tutorials, opened Comfy once and got confused, or avoided it altogether because it "looked too technical," this course was built for you.
We go slow, we go clear, and we go together.
You'll Learn How To:
🟢Start Simple
- Install ComfyUI locally, manage environments, dependencies, versions and updates. Run it in the cloud (no GPU needed), with provided credits from Lighthouse Academy.
- Navigate the interface and build your first text-to-image workflows, step by step, understanding each individual component clearly.
- Understand models, LoRAs, ControlNets, and how to use them effectively
🟡Build & Experiment
- Create structured workflows and reusable templates for your work
- Import workflows from CivitAI and OpenArt, then customize them
- Train a simple LoRA using fal and apply it to your own workflow
🔵Go Visual
- Generate short videos using modern models like Wan 2.2
Everything is hands-on, and every week ends with a small deliverable; something you've built and understood.
Ultimately, you'll come to more than understand Comfy: you'll be able to use it confidently.
Who This Course is For:
- People who've tried ComfyUI and felt lost or overwhelmed
- Total beginners to ComfyUI (or node-based systems in general)
- Creatives ready to go beyond drag-and-drop tools and into full control
- Artists and makers curious about automation and reproducible image/video generation
- Anyone who wants to understand how generative AI actually works under the hood
This course is especially helpful for curious builders who like to experiment, explore, and connect ideas.
If you've got big creative ambitions but aren't sure how to translate them into workflows or visuals, we'll help you get there, one node at a time.
For this course, no technical background is required. If you've ever used an AI image generator or played with tools like Midjourney or Runway, you're already halfway there.
You don't need a GPU or advanced setup, as we provide cloud-based access and walk you through everything else.
Once an intimidated beginner, you'll become a confident builder able to launch creative projects, collaborate with others, and extend your ideas into visuals, motion, and structure.
What You'll Walk Away With:
- A working understanding of how AI models, workflows, and nodes interact
- A certificate of completion and access to an active creative community
- A project of your own: image, video, or workflow, built from scratch
- Templates, guides, and workflows you can reuse or build upon
- Your own ComfyUI setup (local or cloud-based)
Most importantly, you'll leave with clarity.
No more guessing which node goes where.
No more random YouTube rabbit holes.
Just a solid, repeatable foundation you can build on.
