About
If you already know someone who does the job you want, you have an unfair advantage — you can ask them the question that a syllabus will never answer. Most people do not know that person. AcadPak exists so that knowing them is something you can buy for an hour, at a price you can see before you sign in.
How this started
Where it started
Month, yearWhat prompted it — the moment, or the thing you kept watching happen
What we got wrong
What you tried first, and what changed the plan
Where it is now
Three regions — Pakistan, the United States and Australia — and not launched yet. What launch looks like, or what you are waiting for
Mentors set their own rate and their own hours. You pick a time they published, you pay, and the slot is yours — there is no accept step and no waiting to hear back.
Not a faculty, and not a content team. Every certificate carries a code an employer can type in, because a certificate nobody can check is decoration.
Projects posted by organisations, some carrying a stipend, and jobs posted by the same organisations. The point of a project is that it ends with something you can show someone.
Travel, visa and housing, through vetted providers. Moving country is a problem of its own size and pretending otherwise helps nobody.
Who earns what
A mentor is paid for the hour. They earn nothing when you buy a course, and they did not write one. An instructor is paid when somebody enrols; they do not appear in the mentor list and cannot be booked. Neither is rewarded for sending you to the other.
Partners are the exception, and their pages say so plainly: they sell a service and they profit from it. We would rather print that than have you work it out later.
One person can hold both jobs. When they do, both of their profiles say so.
Who is behind it
Two or three real people, each with one thing anyone can check. If that is the whole company right now, saying so is the strongest version of this section — a small team that names itself reads better than a large one that cannot be verified.
Initials, not photographs, until real ones exist. Never stock faces — on a page whose whole job is to be believed, a stock photograph is the fastest way to lose it.
Pakistan, the United States and Australia. Your region sets your currency — PKR, USD or AUD — and every price you see is the price you pay, with no conversion at the end.
Mentors are mostly in Pakistan. Learners are not, which is why every time on this site is drawn in yours.
