Answered simply.
Is working abroad realistic without connections or dual citizenship?
Yes — thousands do it every year through visa routes and hiring channels most architects simply never learn. This course maps them.
Will my degree even be recognized in other countries?
Usually yes, through defined recognition processes. You'll learn how equivalency works and how to plan around it rather than fear it.
Do I need any prior experience?
No. Every course starts from where you are and builds up step by step, in plain language.
Is this software training?
No — software changes yearly. The thinking you learn here lasts a career.
How does it work?
Short video lessons with a small practice task after each. Any device, your pace.
