The Bluetooth Developers Academy is unique in my experience; a helpful collaboration of developers and other folks that is very industry-specific. No fluff or annoying sales pushing.

I have been working with Bluetooth Low Energy radios for close to 10 years, and proprietary low power radios for decades before that. After only being in existence for the last month, this new Bluetooth Developer Academy is rapidly shaping up to be a huge reference and source of support for developers who are working with BLE. If you're developing a BLE project, you need two things, a good BLE sniffer and the Bluetooth Developer Academy. I am very happy to be part of this community and look forward to what comes next.

Not Sure if the Bluetooth Developer Academy is Right for You?

The Academy is for...

Beginners, intermediates, and experts. No matter your level of expertise, you’ll find content and discussions relevant to your skills and needs.

Embedded developers designing embedded Bluetooth-connected products.

Mobile developers working on Bluetooth- enabled Android or iOS applications.

Independent consultants focused on building IoT solutions for their customers.

Team leads and engineering managers who want to make better design decisions for their Bluetooth-connected systems.

THE ACADEMY IS NOT FOR...

Complete beginners who have never written a single line of code.

Hobbyists who are not intending to build shippable Bluetooth-connected products. People who are not serious about putting in the effort to apply knowledge from the courses to their projects.

Someone who is simply exploring Bluetooth Low Energy technology and just wanting to learn about it at a high level. In that case, I recommend you first read through my 100% FREE “Intro to Bluetooth Low Energy” book!

The Academy has given me a fantastic opportunity to learn in depth about Bluetooth communication and anything else that comes with it. I spent a couple of weeks aimlessly learning from books and whatever was online until I stumbled on the Academy. This is exactly what I was looking for! The Academy is professionally constructed and I would compare it to an at-your-own-pace college course. Anyone wanting to get serious about Bluetooth should sign up for the Bluetooth Developer Academy. It has a great community and to me is easily well worth the money.

Who is behind the Academy? and why should you even care?

I’m Mohammad Afaneh, a Bluetooth Developer and the Founder of Novel Bits and the Bluetooth Developer Academy.

I’ve been on your journey before…

I’ve gone from a newbie to an expert in BLE development. Having worked with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) since 2014, I’ve experienced all the stages that you go through from being a beginner all the way up to becoming an expert in the field.

You may ask, “what makes you qualified as a Bluetooth LE Expert, Mohammad”??

  • I’ve self-published a top-rated book on the topic: Intro to Bluetooth Low Energy, which has helped thousands of developers get started with learning BLE and developing Bluetooth-connected products more efficiently.
  • I’ve created an educational YouTube video series about Bluetooth Low Energy technology that’s been watched and referenced by thousands of developers.
  • I’ve consulted for the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) for two and half years as the Developer Relations Manager for the Americas region.
  • I’ve consulted for tens of startups and Fortune 500 companies on the design, architecture, and marketing of Bluetooth Low Energy products.

I’ve felt the pain of the often enormous learning curve associated with developing Bluetooth Low Energy products!

I’ve learned the hard way, wasting days and weeks getting up to speed while struggling with poor or non-existent resources. 

That’s why I created the Bluetooth Developer Academy – so you don’t have to learn the hard way, and can level up in no time instead.

I’m a big believer in both learning by doing and by learning from others’ experiences. That’s why I’ve included both in-depth video courses and access to a private community of Bluetooth experts for you to interact with and learn from.

I’d love for you to check out the Academy and let me know what you think. My number one priority is to get you up to speed with Bluetooth Low Energy’s best practices and keep you up-to-date on the latest in Bluetooth technology. All, so you’re equipped to tackle your projects confidently and quickly… and ship on time.

Don’t forget: it’s completely risk free!

I’ve packed a lot into the Bluetooth Developer Academy because not only do I want you to accelerate the development of your BLE product, but I want to guarantee that you don’t fail.

And to make it a no-brainer deal for you I’m giving you a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee with your registration of becoming a member.

That’s right: Sign up as a member, go through all the Bluetooth training courses, follow the steps, put in the work, get help from the Academy Experts, and if you don’t love it in the first 30 days of your registration, send me an email and I’ll refund you immediately. No questions asked, no hard feelings.

If the Bluetooth Developer Academy doesn’t work for you, I’d much prefer for you to take your money and invest it where you will be happier and get results. I just want you to succeed in getting your (or your client’s) BLE product to market in the fastest time possible!

When I heard about the “Bluetooth Developer Academy” (BDA) I immediately signed up. The BDA has a wealth of resources and knowledge for Engineers who are serious about designing and optimizing their BLE products and is also a great place for those who just start out or want to understand more details. Aside from other BLE experts, Mohammad himself is VERY active on the forum and personally helps fellow engineers with their design challenges.

I'm a software developer with 30+ years in the industry. It's my work, my hobby, and my passion. A year ago I've started to deep dive into wonderful world of IoT. Reading official specs is good but as a newcomer, I needed a more gentle introduction and a smooth learning curve and I found Mohammad's blog with very cool articles and book for developers, and... the Bluetooth Developer Academy - an amazing community of experienced developers, where I can ask for help and share my own projects for discussion.

The Bluetooth Developer Academy is a great resource for navigating and saving time in Bluetooth and BLE product development. Bluetooth and BLE communication protocol offers many benefits but can be difficult to implement especially to those new to the protocol. The developer forums and examples are great tools and will save hours of work and headaches. As a product developer the Bluetooth Developer Academy was just what I was looking for.
