Choosing the right Learning Project is key to staying motivated and achieving meaningful results.
Here’s how to select a project that fits your needs perfectly.

1. Start with Your Goal

  • Be clear about what you want to achieve — is it a new skill, a portfolio piece, or a career step?

  • Example goals:

    • “Improve my English presentation skills”

    • “Learn how to code a personal blog site”

    • “Prepare a business pitch for investors”


2. Check the Requirements

  • Look for prerequisites (e.g., basic knowledge in a subject, access to certain tools).

  • Make sure you meet the required skill level to avoid frustration.


3. Evaluate the Mentor

  • Review the mentor’s profile, teaching style, and experience.

  • Read reviews from past learners.

  • Confirm their communication language and time zone compatibility.


4. Consider Your Schedule

  • Check the project’s duration and how often you’ll meet with your mentor (if you would like to have a mentor to support your learning journey).

  • Make sure you can commit the time needed to complete each milestone.


5. Assess the Deliverables

  • Look at what you’ll have at the end of the project — a completed product, a set of skills, or both.

  • Decide if those outcomes are valuable to your personal or professional goals.


6. Budget Wisely

  • Make sure the price fits your budget.

  • Consider whether the project includes all needed resources or if you’ll have extra costs (e.g., software licenses).


💡 Tip: If you’re unsure, start by messaging the mentor to ask how the project can be adapted to your needs — flexibility is one of UNI Learn’s strengths.
