Minimum seven years of active industry experience in the discipline taught
Faculty
Our faculty are not teachers. They are practitioners who teach.
Every AURA instructor holds one non-negotiable qualification: they are actively employed in the discipline they teach. The standards are current because the people are current.

Faculty requirements
Every instructor meets the same non-negotiable standard.
6 criteria every AURA instructor must satisfy before leading a live cohort — verified annually, not assumed at hire.
Non-negotiable requirements
Currently employed in a practising professional role — not retired, not purely academic
Demonstrated mastery of the specific software, standards, and workflows in their curriculum
Experience on real commercial, infrastructure, or government projects of relevant scale
Ability to provide live project examples, current software demonstrations, and real market intelligence
Annual curriculum review and software-version updates required of all faculty
Practitioner-led delivery
Why practitioner faculty changes what you learn.
What they teach is current
Curriculum follows the software versions, standards, and workflows faculty use on active projects — not outdated syllabi.
What they show is real
Live examples come from commercial, infrastructure, and government programmes — not hypothetical case studies.
What they advise is market-aware
Instructors bring regional project intelligence and employer expectations into every cohort session.

The faculty promise.
When your BIM instructor opens Revit in your live session, it is the current version. When your cybersecurity instructor demonstrates a technique, it is against a current platform. When your planning engineer shows you an Extension of Time claim, it is one they have actually written. That is the AURA faculty standard — and it is non-negotiable.
