A Great Dad Academy was founded by Faisel Ahmed in September 2023. After 10 years of providing programs catered for fathers, Faisel understood and saw the importance of parenting programs for fathers and launched A Great Dad Academy. Previously, Mr. Ahmed spent over 10 years presenting, researching content that would empower fathers to understand the impact of their roles in the lives of their children and family.

GOAL: A Great Dad Academy aims to provide programs that empower fathers, relationship building and developing connections with peers.
