My passion is inspiring people through online courses. I love learning new skills, and since 2007 have been teaching people like you everything I know. Through my online learning business, Educational Engineering School, I create courses that teach you how to become the better version of yourself with all kinds of skills.

What would you like to learn?

Would you like to make money being an Embedded System Developer?

Would you like to build your own 6-figure business?

Would you like to learn how to code, circuit design or solder electronic components?

Would you like to make better projects?

Would you like to start an embedded system career, create  great projects, kick start an idea, program, simulate, and create PCB Boards, launch a freelance career?

If you want to do any of these things, just enroll in the course. You have a 30-day money back guarantee if you don't like it. And I'm always improving my courses so that they stay up to date and the best that they can be. Check them out, and enroll today!

More About Ashraf:

I've always tried to live life presently and to the fullest. Some of the things I love to do in my spare time include football, biking, traveling to new places, watching sports (huge football fan here!), and sharing meals with friends and family.

In 2012, I graduated with my Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering at Azhar University - one of the top schools in the country. While there, I was fortunate to make Embedded Systems project using Arduino, PIC Microcontroller and other modules. After graduating, I worked at My own university as a Teacher Assistant . I followed that stint with a contract at a local College where I discovered how amazing it is to share your knowledge offline, which made me eager and eventually found myself starting my own online learning journey. I helped more than 100k student since then. Most recently. Throughout this time I built my Educational Engineering School Online brand to teach others the skills that I have. Now I only do things I love each day.

I want to show you how to be a better Embedded System creator, make money from your skills, and live the life you dreamed of.
