About OIStride Academy

Learn by doing. That's the whole idea.

OIStride Academy is a practice-led technology-skills academy built to help people develop practical capabilities they can use in the real world. We bring structured learning, real-world cases, guided practice and practitioner feedback together so learning becomes something you can apply, not just something you know.

Current pathways include Agile Project Management, Product Management and AI Product Management, with more technology-skills programs to grow with the Academy.

Mission

Build practical capability, not just theoretical knowledge.

To equip people with practical tech skills they can confidently apply in the real world through practitioner-led, hands-on learning.

OIStride Academy exists to make technology-skills learning more practical, relevant and applicable. We connect concepts to real problems, frameworks to decisions, and learning to action.

Every framework taught at OIStride Academy has already been used on real projects, not adapted from a textbook. A curriculum that's been taught before. Coaching frameworks that have worked before. An AI-assisted build workflow that's already shipped something real. Nothing here is theory waiting to be tested on you.
