The programme
What it is.
AI-augmented web and mobile development diploma programme — MINEFOP DQP, 12 months. 1,180 h over 12 months, including 9 months of classes at a pace that varies by module, 2 months of work placement in a company and 1 month writing the end-of-programme dissertation. Like all our programmes from this year on, it includes a foundation in AI and prompt engineering: professional software now embeds AI, and knowing how to drive it is part of the job. Examination fees are not included in the tuition: 35,000 FCFA.
