FAQs

Here are some answers to some common questions we get about our course on Africa.

1. How is the course accessed?

Once you pay (or have your license) you will receive a URL via email. Simply click that URL which takes you to our Learning Management System. Quickly create your account, then you'll have access to the course.

The course is made up of video presentations, case studies and quiz-style questions. Access is for 1 year (365 days).

2. Who is the course for?

It has been created mainly for foreigners from the Americas, Europe and East Asia who are unfamiliar with Africa, its cultures and business styles.

It has been designed with a broad audience of professionals in mind, from those working remotely with teams or stakeholders in the continent to those who may be managing the region as a whole or those who visit different African countries for business reasons.

The focus is specifically on business, so this course would not be suitable if you work in education or similar sectors.

No. It is aimed at all levels of learners. Technically, all that is needed is to be able to use a website browser or smart phone.
