The curriculum

Six technologies. All of them hiring.

Nothing here is taught as theory. Every technology arrives attached to a project the learner finishes, keeps and can show someone.

01

Game development

From first prototype to a published build, mechanics, level design, playtesting and the discipline of shipping.

Unreal EngineUnityUEFN
02

Artificial intelligence

How models are trained, where they fail, and how to build something useful with them rather than just prompt one.

PythonComputer visionMachine learning
03

Robotics

Real machines on a real bench. Assembly, sensors, control logic, and the debugging that happens when the robot ignores you.

SensorsAutomationCompetition builds
04

XR, VR and AR

Building for headsets and phones, spatial design, interaction and the comfort rules that separate a demo from an experience.

VRARSpatial design
05

Coding foundations

Block coding for the youngest learners, Python and version control for everyone after that. The literacy the rest of it sits on.

Block codingPythonGit
06

Minecraft Education

The gentlest entry point we have. Younger students code, build and tell stories in a world they already understand.

CodingStorytellingWorld building

Included with every course.

Same six things whichever subject and level you pick. Nothing here is an upgrade.

Two 60-minute sessions a week

Every week the course runs, after school, evenings or weekends.

On-site, online or hybrid

Come to Mirdif, join from home, or mix the two.

Certificate every module

Issued each three months, not just at the end of the year.

One year of LMS access

Lessons, recordings, assignments and the student community.

Equipment provided

Everything on-site; online learners get Ascend cloud lab access.

Tabby & Tamara instalments

Plus scholarships for selected students.

What families say

Ask the parents, not the brochure.

The demo class is free precisely so you don't have to take anyone's word for it.

Questions parents ask first.

Does my child need any experience?

No. Beginner level assumes nothing at all, and the curriculum builds step by step from there.

Which level should we start at?

The free demo class is the placement. One full session with a trainer, no payment details, and you leave knowing the answer.

How long is each session?

Sixty minutes, twice a week. A three-month module is 24 instructor-led hours; the full year is 96.

Do we need a gaming PC at home?

Not for on-site classes, everything is provided. Online learners get remote access to the Ascend cloud lab.

Is there a certificate?

Yes, an Ascend certificate at the end of every completed module.

Can we pay monthly?

Yes, through Tabby and Tamara. Scholarships are available for selected students.
