TOOLS
Who takes this course?
I strongly recommend the AR/VR course to anyone who is new to the field and wants to learn at a comfortable pace with knowledgeable instructors. The best part about the course is that you can work on your own project and meet with the instructor 1-on-1 every week and get their guidance. Thanks, Circuit Stream!

Usman and Richard have both been amazing teachers. I was able to use what I was taught in class to aid in my job search. I landed a job within 3 months of starting my course with circuit stream. They were definitely a big reason I was able to succeed. I would recommend them to other aspiring XR professionals.

Circuit Stream is an EXCELLENT online course. It’s classroom and 1 on 1 sessions was beyond anything I could have imagined. My instructors went above and beyond. I would recommend this to any and everyone.
Richard Bailey
The online class format lets you ask questions and work through problems you are having on the homework as a class, which makes the learning fun.
Unity is a powerful tool, and harnessing that power to give clients better access and understanding to the project has been a goal of mine for several years. Thanks to this class from Circuit Stream I now understand how Unity works and how I can use it to better explain my projects to my clients.
Laura Smith
The class surpassed my expectations. My background is in website/mobile UX design. I am fascinated at designing in a 3D setting. The class is very hands-on by guiding me to create multiple AR and VR games/tools. Also, I really appreciate all the help I received from my instructor since I have little programming experience. I highly recommend this class to anyone who’s interested in learning more about AR/VR.

It’s a perfect time while this is a growing industry to try and get into VR and AR. This investment is for the long term and it’s worthwhile if you want to get into VR/AR development.
Anybody can pick this up, you just need the right tutor and right environment. Just put the time in, sit in with the instructors, and by the end of that session you’re gonna be proficient with Unity.
Mike Oakes
I was so scared about touching Unity! It felt so overwhelming but Circuit Stream made it so easy to learn compared to other online courses. In Circuit Stream classes you actually interact with other students. It changed the way I think about Unity.
Brenda Cordova
The experience was an excellent one! Having the interaction with our instructor as well as other students in the class was so valuable and important. Another online course I took did not provide that. With the training I received I’ve been able to build an AR project that will be showcased at one of our Senior Leadership events next month.
