Tuition, the exam, and a one-off enrolment fee.

135 000 FCFA of tuition for a three-month level at the founding rate for the cohort starting 10 November 2026 (150 000 FCFA for later cohorts), identical across all six programmes, plus the compulsory certification exam at exactly what the vendor charges. We publish both rather than hiding one inside the other.

What a level costs By programme Paying & refunds Ways to make it easier

What a level costs

Cloud, Data, AI and Marketing have the same tuition, because they run the same length, the same hours and the same coaching ratio. They differ only in what the certification exam costs, because the vendors set that and we pass it through without a markup.

Founding rate, cohort starting Tuesday 10 November 2026
What you pay	Amount	When and what for
Month 1	45 000 FCFA	At the start of the level.
Month 2	45 000 FCFA	Week 5.
Month 3	45 000 FCFA	Week 9.
Tuition for the level	135 000 FCFA	Teaching, coaching, campus, lab machines, sandbox accounts and assessment.
Enrolment fee, once only	10 000 FCFA	Paid once, with your application, when you first enrol: not again for later levels. Not refundable.

45 000 FCFA a month is the founding rate, for the cohort starting 10 November 2026 only. Later cohorts pay the standard rate of 50 000 FCFA a month, which is 150 000 FCFA of tuition for a level. Whatever rate you enrol at is held for the whole of that level.

Family abroad can pay by card in euros or dollars. Common, and completely fine: we send them the exact amount and a receipt in their name.
Bring someone with you and you both take 10 000 FCFA off.
Finish a level and the next one is 15 000 FCFA cheaper. Every time.

Each tuition payment is refunded in full if you ask within 14 days of making it. The details are in the refund policy.

Why the exam is billed separately

Because we refuse to hide it inside the headline price. AWS, Microsoft, CompTIA, Meta, Databricks and the Python Institute set those prices in dollars and change them without telling us; bundling would mean either padding the fee to cover the worst case or quietly raising it when a vendor does. Instead we publish both numbers, re-quote before you buy, and charge exactly what the voucher costs.

The exam is compulsory, not optional. It is part of passing the level. If paying for it in week 9 is a problem, tell your coach at the halfway checkpoint and we will arrange the timing: we would rather move a date than have somebody finish without the credential they came for.

Vendor exam prices are the vendors’ own, were correct in October 2026, and are re-quoted before you buy. They are in US dollars; you pay the voucher in FCFA at the day’s exchange rate when we buy it.

By programme

Tuition is identical. Only the exam differs, because the vendor sets that price.

Exam prices are in US dollars, exactly as the vendors charge them for our candidates.

Each level is paid for separately, and finishing one takes 15 000 FCFA off the next. The enrolment fee is charged once only, not again for Level 2 or Level 3. The placement after Level 2 costs you nothing.

Paying & refunds

How you pay

Every payment goes through Tara, on its secure payment page: MTN Mobile Money, Orange Money, Wave, Visa or Mastercard, or PayPal. Mobile Money needs no bank account and no card.
From Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Congo or Gabon: Mobile Money where Tara covers your operator (M-Pesa, MTN, Airtel), or card or PayPal. From Equatorial Guinea: card or PayPal. Amounts are in FCFA; your operator or bank converts them.
Card from abroad in euros or dollars, including family paying on your behalf. We send the exact amount and a receipt in the payer’s name.
Three monthly instalments, due at the start of the level, in week 5 and in week 9.
The exam voucher in week 9, re-quoted at the day’s rate, with the vendor’s receipt shown to you.

Getting your money back

Each tuition payment is refunded in full if you ask within 14 days of making it. After those 14 days, that payment is not refundable. The refund policy sets out these rules and mentions your right of withdrawal under Cameroonian e-commerce law.
The enrolment fee is not refundable. It is charged once only, with your application, and not again for Level 2 or Level 3.
If we cancel or cannot deliver, you are refunded for what was not delivered.
An exam voucher once bought is not refundable, because the vendor does not refund it. We will not buy one until your coach agrees you are ready.

Ways to make it easier

Bring someone with you and you both take 10 000 FCFA off.
Finish a level and the next one is 15 000 FCFA cheaper. Every time.
Pause once per level, free. Your payments hold, and the next cohort of the same level is never more than two months away.
Family abroad can pay by card. Common, and completely fine.
Free high-bandwidth wifi at the campus during opening hours, for the whole of your level. For some people this alone is worth more than the discount.

We do not offer scholarships we have not funded. If that changes it will be published here with the criteria and the number of places, not announced privately.

Two ways to start. Both begin with a conversation.

Request information if you want an admissions advisor to call you, look at your profile and tell you honestly which programme and level fit. Apply if you already know. Either way, apart from the 10 000 FCFA application fee, which is your enrolment fee, paid once and not refundable, nothing is due until a place is confirmed in writing. After that, each tuition payment is refunded in full if you ask within 14 days of making it.
