Before you apply
What applicants ask us.
Admission
Fees and payment
Organisation
Admission
Who can enrol?
Two programmes open from the BEPC, most require the Baccalaureat, and the technical streams (networks, development) a science Baccalaureat. If you are unsure, the guidance interview settles it with you, before any financial commitment.
Admission
Which format should I choose?
Four families, from the shortest to the longest. The three-month certificate targets one specific job. The six-month pathway chains two certificates and awards one qualification per module. The twelve-month programme covers a whole profession, placement and dissertation included. The two- to three-year track stacks several years and awards a qualification at the end of each. The fee follows the length, and the guidance interview settles it with you.
Admission
Is the qualification recognised?
ACERFI is a MINEFOP-accredited centre. Depending on the programme, you work towards a DQP or a CQP. The DQP is sat at the national examinations, on the ministry's calendar. The CQP is run by the centre: ACERFI sets the date and invites MINEFOP to supervise the examination — if it supervises, it co-signs the certificate, otherwise ACERFI signs alone. The difference lies in who runs the examination, never in the value of the qualification.
Fees and payment
How much does a programme cost?
500,000 F CFA for a twelve-month programme. 250,000 F CFA for a three-month certificate — the same fee for all sixty. Tuition is paid in instalments: 50 % on enrolment, the balance over three monthly payments at most. Examination fees, set by MINEFOP, come on top: 35,000 FCFA, for the DQP as for the CQP.
Organisation
Where are the classes held?
ACERFI has three sites: Ngousso, the head office, in Yaounde; Nsimalen, five minutes from the airport; and Douala. Every programme is backed by the online campus, open day and night. Which site hosts a given intake is checked programme by programme — your adviser tells you at the interview.
Organisation
Day or evening?
Both, for the twelve-month programmes as for the certificates: same syllabus, same qualification, same fee. Only the timetable changes. The twelve-month programme runs 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. or 5 p.m. – 9 p.m.; the certificate, two hours a day.
The new term
Monday 5 October. Book your place.
A fifteen-minute conversation is enough to know which of the twelve programmes matches your plan.
