Meet Your Mentors

Learn from people who've done the job

Every mentor on this course has spent years doing this work inside real organizations, not just teaching about it.

PR

Priya Raman

AI & Emerging Tech Mentor
8+ Years, Applied Research

Eight years bridging research prototypes into shipped product features. Priya focuses on giving students a working intuition for how emerging technology actually gets adopted inside a company, not just how it works in theory.

DK

Daniel Kowalski

Automation Engineering Mentor
10+ Years, Automation Engineering

Ten years building automation solutions for manufacturing and logistics clients. Daniel teaches students to identify which processes are actually worth automating, not just how to automate anything in front of them.

EV

Elena Vasquez

Cloud Infrastructure Mentor
12+ Years, Multi-Cloud

Twelve years designing and migrating infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP for mid-size and enterprise clients. Elena focuses on teaching the architecture decisions that matter once a system is handling real production traffic, not just passing a lab exercise.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a special device to test AR apps?

A modern smartphone (iOS or Android) is enough to test most AR applications built in this course.

Is this the same as VR development?

No. AR overlays digital content onto the real world using a phone or AR glasses, while VR creates a fully immersive digital environment.

Do I need coding experience?

Basic programming logic helps, but C# and Unity workflows are taught from the ground up.

Do I need mobile development experience before taking this AR course?

Some familiarity with programming, and ideally mobile app development basics, is helpful since AR apps in this course are built using frameworks like ARKit and ARCore on top of mobile platforms. We introduce the AR-specific concepts (plane detection, tracking, 3D object placement) progressively, so prior AR experience specifically is not required.

How are the AR development classes scheduled?

Classes are live online in weekend and evening batches, with hands-on labs building and testing AR features directly on mobile devices alongside the instructor. Every session is recorded, which helps since testing AR features often requires repeating device-specific setup steps that are easier to follow back at your own pace.

What roles and industries hire for AR development skills?

This course supports roles such as AR Developer, XR Developer, or Mobile AR Engineer, with strong hiring interest from retail (virtual try-on), marketing, gaming, and industrial training companies adopting AR experiences. As AR features become standard in mobile commerce and marketing apps, these skills are increasingly requested in mobile development job postings.

Are installment payments available, and is there support after the course?

Yes, installment plans are available in addition to card, PayPal, and bank transfer payments, along with our 7-day money-back guarantee. After the course, our WhatsApp and email support continues to help troubleshoot AR tracking issues or device compatibility questions on your own projects.
