Our methodology
How Nefelia Academy is different?
Mentor-driven
Your mentor has industry expertise and sufficient teaching experience. You will expect to receive guidance, feedback, support, and encouragement.
Student-centric
The learning experience, materials, and methodologies will evolve continuously around your needs and learning style whenever possible.
Community driven
Learning alone is not only dull but not effective as well. High-performance learners learn from each other. Our platform and methodology support this approach. Join groups and forums and share your questions and struggles. Learning is a social activity!
Collaborative assignments
You will have the opportunity to work in teams and collaborate with others. Although this is optional, you are encouraged to participate in group assignments and learn how to collaborate. Collaboration is also a skill.
Tool agnostic
Learn the latest and most appropriate tools for the work. We teach affordable yet industry-proven tools. Moreover, we aim to develop a skillset and a deep understanding of concepts so you can apply them in any tool. Tools are constantly changing, but the core skills and principles are timeless.
Skills and mindsets
Learn how to organise your work, prioritise, be efficient, develop your presentation and communication skills. We emphasise soft skills since it's a vital part of the transformation. Creating a problem-solving mindset and an enthusiastic attitude is critical for success.
Deep theory
We dive deep into concept theory to give you a complete understanding of how things work. Building a solid understanding is a critical element of mastery.
Project oriented process
We approach proven step-by-step processes of real-world projects to learn how to do things practically and efficiently.
Assignment-rich with personaliσed feedback
You complete assignments designed to be part of your transformation and get personalized, detailed feedback to accelerate your progress.
Progress evaluation through meaningful challenges
We are a no-grade academy. Testing your skills through quizzes and exercises to self-evaluate your current skill set is a great tool that will accelerate your progress.
Flexibility with on-demand content
Find the right time and day of the week to engage with the material and practice on the assignments. Our schedules are complicated, but our platform is flexible and accessible from anywhere and anytime. If you can't make it in live sessions, we will record it for you.
Sprint paced accountability
Be accountable for your transformation by making a biweekly flexible commitment to deliver a learning outcome. That's a key for any learner to succeed.
Non linear learning
We approach learning in a non-linear way. In our approach, every learning bit is like a node that connects with other nodes. We call it the learning web. We mark dependencies, and we create a non-linear strategy that is more flexible.
Horizontal axis & Parallel tracks
Instead of focusing on compressing vast amounts of information one next to another in a sequential way, we go with the learning pyramid. We have a steady pace of new concepts, and we expand a lot on each topic giving enough time to digest. We create parallel tracks to accelerate and complement learning avoiding learning fatigue.
Variety of media
Our material is a mix of online video, interactive content, eBooks, and more. We embrace a variety of different channels, and we are always experimenting.
Gamification and fun
Learning should be fun. We try to provide our content in a humorous and fun way, yet not distracting. You should be expecting optional fun activities and competitions.
