I love training / educating
Sharing my training experience
I have have been training students in my School of Passion. Today’s education system follows conventional methods which are not a result-oriented or a purpose-oriented system. One doesn’t know why one is learning what is being taught and where/how it will be used.
School of Passion has believed that one should pursue one’s passion, the outcome of which will be getting into a profession, which will make the whole working experience fun, non-stressful and the productivity quotient will rise both for the person working and the organization, which in turn contributes positively on the growth of the Economy.
Creative enthusiasts/design enthusiasts who want to make a career in the graphics/web design/gaming/animation industry, either find opposition from their influencers that it is not going to fetch a secured career in the design field, or the learning period is long or the fee is high. Sometimes the students are skilled enough but lag communication skills. In some cases, students end up being a mere creator and not a complete designer, he/she is dependent on the senior to tell what to do. But the industry needs a complete designer or rather an executer who can proactively conceptualize, design (with speed and creativity) as well as have confidence and communication skills to understand requirements and present one’s own idea.
At School of Passion, I have worked on solving all these issues by providing training with a method where we start keeping the end in mind. The purpose, clarity of learning, the process of conceptualizing, creating designs using the software, design principles, how to create effective and fast, practicing rigorously by working on real-time requirements – all of this in minimal time and with a goal of getting one ready to use these skills and start making a career in it. This method has increased the overall productivity and happiness quotient.
