Be it through its mentorship sessions, discussions with industry guides, industry-relevant curriculum, or portfolio enhancement, Novatr is there with you in this upskilling journey.
So, without further ado, let’s understand what further Novatr has to offer.
Benefits of Novatr
Novatr isn’t just about acquiring skills; rather, it’s about transforming your career through an experience designed for real-world success.
1. Dual Mentor Model - Experienced Mentors and Industry Guides
At Novatr, what you learn is important, but how you learn it is just as important. Novatr students receive direct mentorship in the form of guidance regarding the curriculum and career prospects, and how to approach the evolving industry from AEC professionals working with global giants like Zaha Hadid, AECOM, and RSP.
Complementing these mentors are Industry Guides, whom you can perceive as your professional buddies, like a personal support system throughout the program. These are seasoned professionals with over 5 years of experience, guiding you in small groups at a 1:20 ratio. Whether it's curriculum-related doubts, project support, or career guidance, they’re there to help every step of the way.
Together, Novatr’s global mentors (with 10+ years of experience) and industry guides (5+ years) ensure that the learning journey is seamless and deeply enriching.
2. Well-planned course – advanced and easy to use
Created by 200+ industry professionals, the Novatr curriculum offers in-depth project understanding and hands-on practice to apply that knowledge effectively. Unlike other platforms that focus solely on teaching, Novatr follows a two-stage approach—learning and practising—which also explains the program’s extended duration.
- Learning - Understand the course from seasoned professionals in a systematic manner.
- Practice - A practical [learn by doing] approach throughout the course with mini assignments and a capstone project at the end to test your understanding.
Enhancing this further are the Specialisation Studios, where students can choose from 8 expert-curated tracks, each designed to keep them ahead of industry trends. These specialisations are so that they keep you industry relevant with the right plugins and AI integration.
3. Portfolio Building - Create a simple and clean portfolio that gets you ahead
At the end of the course, a Capstone project awaits you that helps you build a strong portfolio. You'll learn how to structure and design your portfolio, how many projects to include, and whether A3 or another format is best suited for your work. Along with guidance and multiple micro assignments throughout the course, you can build a portfolio as unique as yourself to impress recruiters and outshine your peers.
4. Online Learning - Consistent and Convenient
Learn anytime, anywhere. Novatr’s structured online programs ensure consistent progress without compromising your daily routine. It is made so for the hustling professional.
Another bonus is the constraints that the classroom program puts on learners with limited numbers of local experts available, whereas in the online format, one can learn from global experts who bring in a range of experience and expertise.
5. Career studio - This is how Novatr makes you job-ready
As per an article by Blinkist, 85% of hiring decisions come down to soft skills. No matter how good you are when to comes to software, but if you can’t communicate, problem-solve, or present yourself well, you might get overlooked. With Novatr career studio, which is a part of the curriculum, one gets to attend career counselling sessions with industry experts, get timely portfolio feedback, optimise your resume and LinkedIn profile, making sure recruiters notice you early.
6. Learn by Doing Approach - Practice to Pursue
Work on industry-relevant projects, tools, and workflows. Novatr’s curriculum focuses on doing, not just watching, so you're job-ready from day one. Moreover, you get one year of access to all the software, so you can practise and implement more.
7. Gamified Platform
Engage with a dynamic learning management system [LMS] that rewards progress and keeps motivation high. It provides input and maintains a leaderboard to level up your skills while having fun, because who says learning needs to be boring?
8. Three Certificates - Authorised to showcase Authority
Earn globally recognised certificates upon completion. These certificates from Novatr, Autodesk, and NSDC help you stand out in the job market and validate your expertise with confidence.
