What is Technical Fluency?
”It wasn't that I didn't know the right answers to be seeking from engineers — I didn't even know the right questions to ask! I'm a sporting goods guy."
Kevin PlankFounder and Executive Chairman, Under Armour
As a non-technical professional, you might have felt a “disconnect” while working with engineers, or while reading about new technological developments.
Becoming “technically fluent” will help you close this gap. You will not get there by learning to code.
This will empower you to:
- Strategize technically and be a driver of transformation in your industry, not a passive observer.
- Confidently participate in technical discussions. Ask insightful questions and push back when needed. Intelligently communicate your vision and goals to engineers, and never feel like a “lost” bystander in meetings.
- Understand the big moving parts of technology and how they affect your business — save time, improve margins and increase revenue.
- Get things done 3x faster by quickly getting engineers on the same page as you. No more surprises.
- Sell effectively to technical decision makers. Build real credibility and trust.
- Unleash valuable insights from your background that engineers are probably missing.
- Stay up-to-date with new technology trends and spot threats/opportunities from a mile away.
- Become the go-to person for bridging the tech and non-tech gap in your organization.

What to Expect
Customized 1:1 program with both hand-holding and tough love.
You already understand business. We’ll use that as the base, gradually expanding your practical technical knowledge and confidence.
You can't become "fluent" by passively consuming lectures and memorizing facts. Expect practical exercises, brainstorming discussions, and reading.
We'd ideally expect around 3 hours of work from you each week/weekend. Depending on your pace, the program could last anywhere from 7-12 weeks.
Tech communication gaps cost companies millions of dollars in time, money and stress.
How to Enroll
Schedule a 20-minute call to discuss your goals and how we could help.

Currently limited to 5 people per month.
Whether you sign up or not, we're rooting for you — building a huge business is hard. We wish something really good happens to you today that makes you smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I learn to code?
No. Coding skills are secondary to technical intuition. If you are really interested, Aman can point you towards the best free resources.
Is it really tailored for me? Can we have 1:1 sessions on weekends?
Yes and yes!
I don’t have 3 hours a week, can it be quicker?
Any less than 3 hours per week, and you won’t learn quickly or deeply enough. Aman would prefer if you don’t do it, than get mediocre results from his teaching.
Can I get training for our managers/recruiters/salespeople/etc?
We can talk about it. Use the same link above to schedule a meeting.
How will I access the course?
It will be on Google Classroom. We will release the learning material (lectures, quizzes, assignments) on a weekly basis on your class homepage. We will also schedule 1 video session per week. You won’t need to download any software.
What is your pricing, and can I get a discount?
Unfortunately, the program includes direct access to the instructor (our CEO) so we can’t give discounts. But we do have some affordable alternatives so don’t hesitate to schedule a meeting.
