MINEFOP-accredited centre · Yaounde · since 1995

Digital professions,
within reach.

12 diploma programmes and 60 vocational certificates, across six fields. In Yaounde and online.

Six fields

One profession per field,
from the basics to expertise.

The institution

Thirty-one years,
without a break.

State accreditation, six fields, four formats, three campuses and an online campus. What the centre has built since 1995 comes down to four commitments.

A benchmark institution

Thirty years of continuous teaching, official MINEFOP accreditation, and the trust of public and private organisations across the continent.

A mission of inclusion

Making digital professions accessible from the BEPC onwards. Whatever your academic level, with one requirement only: the will to move forward.

A living ecosystem

More than ten thousand alumni, a network of technical and institutional partners, and cohorts that keep helping one another long after the course.

A continental ambition

From advice to delivery, from initial training to large-scale digital transformation — Port Autonome de Kribi, Odoo, infrastructure.

The journey

From application to employment, in four steps.

01

Application & admission

A simple file, and a dedicated adviser to choose the right programme.

02

Onboarding & follow-up

Welcome, levelling up and personal support throughout the course.

03

Teaching that delivers

Practice-led teaching, on modern equipment and with expert trainers.

04

Into the workplace

Alumni network and partner companies.
