Video feedback of the head of the Progress school
In March 2019, at Kolesa Group we decided to launch a new educational project - Kolesa Upgrade online courses.
We had no experience in launching courses, so there were many questions about the methodology and format of the course.
We asked friends from "I Know!" school. We have been cooperating with them for a long time in terms of English language courses.
At the start, we received several useful recommendations from Amanjol on how to properly launch online courses. But after the launch, we faced another problem: not all cool technical specialists can share their knowledge correctly, they needed to be taught how to teach.
Therefore, we began to attract specialists from "I Know!" as methodologists for the Kolesa Upgrade lectures.
I want to express gratitude to "I know!" for teaching our employees how to conduct lessons correctly, to find contact with an online audience, and not just share their knowledge, but to teach effectively!
For 8 years I managed to work with: Kaspi, Kolesa Group, FedEx, City administration of Almaty, Almaty Tourism, British Council, High Tech Academy, Business Consturctor, Upgrade and Ablay Yusupov, Transavia, product managers from Beeline, Kolesa Group, and Rocket Firm.
