“The platform is designed with a specific emphasis on providing users with a unique avenue to engage with practical, hands-on projects that are directly relevant to their professional context and what sets Amdari apart from other platforms is its unwavering commitment to hands-on, practical learning. Rather than focusing solely on theoretical knowledge, Amdari recognizes the value of experiential learning in the acquisition of tech skills. Participants are not just spectators; they are actively engaged in dynamic, real-world projects, allowing them to apply and refine their skills in a live environment.”

He noted that the emphasis on practical learning within Amdari creates an immersive and interactive experience for participants as the approach not only accelerates skill development but also fosters a sense of confidence and competence among participants.
