Computer Fundamentals & IT Support
Start from the phone in your hand. Finish ready for the help desk.

- Digital Foundations

- CompTIA Tech+
Train inside a working agency. Tech training with certification, in Yaoundé and online
Three-month programmes taught by the people who do the work for clients. Every level ends in a certification exam from AWS, Microsoft, CompTIA, Meta, Databricks or the Python Institute. On campus in Yaoundé, or online.
Built for people changing direction No degree required. No coding background assumed.
For people changing direction, wherever they are starting from.
The programmes assume nothing about your past. They assume a lot about your next eleven weeks.
Changing career
You have a few years of work behind you in something else, and you want out. Nothing here assumes a technical past. Level 1 starts at what a file is.
At university, in the wrong course
You are two years into a degree you no longer want. You do not have to finish it first, and you do not have to drop it. Three months, evenings and one weekend day, alongside your studies.
Working, and stuck
You are employed, the role has a ceiling, and the next one wants a certification you do not hold. The programme is built to fit around a full-time job.
Preparing to emigrate
You are planning a move to Canada, the United States or Europe and you need skills that count when you get there. The certification is read the same way in Toronto, Lisbon and Berlin, and the placement starts your experience clock. Neither is a visa, and we say so.
Pick a trade. Start at the level that fits.
Each programme is three levels of three months. A two-minute quiz on the programme page tells you whether to start at Level 1, 2 or 3, and an advisor confirms it on the phone.

Three things, none of them optional.
All three are written into the contract.
The certification is the credential
Every level ends in a compulsory exam, set and marked by the vendor and sat in week 11. The certification is read the same way in Nairobi, Lisbon, Toronto and Houston, which matters when the job you want, or the file you are preparing, is abroad. Our own certificate records what we taught; theirs records what you can do.
Taught by people who do the work
SmartSana is a digital agency with clients. Your instructors deliver for them during the day, your projects come from those briefs, and we hire from our own cohorts when we need people.
Experience before you apply anywhere
After Level 2, a two-month remote placement with a partner company, unpaid, with a supervisor who will take a reference call. Modest on purpose, and written into the enrolment terms rather than a banner.

Not sure which programme, or which level? Ask.
An advisor calls you within two working days, looks at what you currently do and what you want, and tells you plainly which programme and which level fit. Sometimes the answer is none of them, and we say that too.
- No obligation and nothing to pay.
- Your details are used for this request and nothing else.
