8 Reasons Why Designers Choose to Upskill with Novatr

How often do you find an online education platform built exclusively for designers? Answer: Not often at all!

Design learning needs are unique, and do not adhere to traditional methods used for delivering instruction. Juries, ‘crits’, mentoring and group work are all essential parts of design education, which cannot be recreated easily on normal Learning Management Systems. And that, my friend, is exactly where we step in.

You may ask how we are so sure about the needs of design students and young professionals. That’s because we are (or have been) design students and practicing professionals! Our Co-Founders and a lot of our team are SPA Delhi Alumni, and our interns are often design students, all working together to create the best learning experience for you.

Architecture. Interiors. Product. Graphics. User Interface. Fashion. Industrial. Automotive. Exhibition...I could go on. Guess which word goes and joins with all of them?

Yep, it’s design.

We consider all allied design professionals to be a part of a larger community, and our courses endeavour to cater to more than just a singular design field.

Take the example of our Rhino + Grasshopper 101 course. This is an online design course that skips past boundaries between creators to benefit all interested in parametric design and computational modelling. Thus, Novatr is a community that you will never feel left out from!

Is there anything worse than the sweat, blood and tears that is your career being equated to a hobby?

We don’t lump you in with learners seeking a pastime or a diversion (not that there’s anything wrong with that), because we’re well aware that your design career needs courses with relevant exercises, practical outcomes, and remarkable professional upgradation. Our social community goes beyond providing courses to offering career advice, counselling, and a platform for discussion.

More than anything, Novatr understands that the stakes of your learning are much higher, and we respect that reality.

Don’t just take our word for quality. Take theirs ↑.

Be it our mentors or participating institutions, we have been associated with the very best in the industry to deliver high-quality learning experiences to you. Our teachers are selected not just for their experience or name, but also for their ability to convey information in a clear and precise manner.

Partnering with institutions like National Institute of Design (NID), Sushant School of Art and Architecture, Schools of Planning and Architecture (SPAs), and many more holds us to the highest standards of design learning. Novatr collects and curates the experiences of the sharpest design minds today in the form of online design courses, to deliver them straight to you.

This is an education ethic that we are particularly proud of, and work hard to maintain every single day. While other ed-tech platforms out there might give you a vast variety of courses on a seemingly endless list of topics, most of them compromise on the depth of their learning.

At Novatr, we don’t just scratch the surface of a subject, we make sure you have a respectable, working knowledge of it. More than just a topic to mention weakly on your resume, we make sure that our courses make you highly confident in the skillset you just gained.

Not all of us have the time, motivation, or energy to curate their own learning. Theoretically, you can learn whatever you want from the world wide web, but that’s easier said than done!

Novatr is more than just a bunch of instructional videos on the internet. We are here for every doubt, question, and obstacle you may come across during the learning process, anticipating and planning for them before they even arise! Just be willing to learn, and leave the rest to us.

You don’t have to worry about a thing.

…to uplift the design community as a whole. Now more than ever, the design industry is facing massive challenges with unemployment, job security, low pay, and large-scale exploitation.

However, instead of just complaining about it, Novatr is here to drive the change.

We connect young professionals with the industry and experts, proffering relevant courses designed to have a significant impact on your career. More than that, we build networks and a large community of individuals invested in creating pride and bettering the state of design careers today.
