The Real Struggle
Across Africa, new AI tools are arriving faster than most people can keep up with. Every week brings another breakthrough from global research labs and tech companies — and while these advances make headlines, the real question for professionals, freelancers, and business owners is much simpler: how do I actually use this in my work today?
That’s the gap AI Literacy Academy is closing. Our mission is clear: make AI simple, practical, and useful for the people who need it most.
Making AI Easy Enough to Use in Everyday Work
AI is already part of the world around us, but knowing how to make it work in day-to-day life is still a challenge. The real impact comes when tools help save time, improve productivity, and open up new ways to grow a career or business.
That’s where the Academy comes in. Instead of flooding people with technical talk, we break things down into everyday steps. How can you use AI to cut hours off routine reports? How can you write marketing campaigns that sound natural? How can you free up your time so you can focus on growth?
We don’t just explain AI. We show people how to use it in ways that make a difference right away.
From Cohort Classes to Career and Business Wins
Every Academy program is designed with action in mind. Instead of lectures, learners:
- Work on real projects they can apply in their jobs or businesses.
- Learn to use AI in marketing, operations, administration, and customer service.
- Build prototypes and workflows to solve real challenges.
- Pick up routines that help them make AI part of their everyday work.
Whether it’s a freelancer chasing better-paying clients, a professional aiming for career growth, or a business owner handling too much at once — the focus is always on giving people skills they can use immediately.
That’s why nearly a thousand people across Africa have already been part of our cohorts. Their impact was clear, especially with our 3rd Cohort, where learners showcased how quickly they turned knowledge into results. (Graduation link to be added once published.)
30 Days to Practical, Job-Ready AI Skills
The Academy is designed to fit into real lives. Each program runs for just 30 days — short enough to fit into a busy schedule, but long enough to build lasting skills.
For less than $50, learners get:
- Over 40 video lessons and templates,
- live sessions with a supportive community,
- and a certificate at the end.
The program covers four tracks:
- AI Fundamentals & Prompt Engineering — framing and using AI tools effectively.
- Business Applications — marketing, content creation, and automation with no-code tools.
- Career Productivity — LinkedIn, job applications, and workplace efficiency.
- Freelancing & Monetization — including the ₦300,000 Freelancing Roadmap to turn AI skills into paid services.
It’s focused, affordable, and built to create results people can see. And because we’re also working on ecosystem growth, partnerships like our Triift Africa collaboration expand the value we bring beyond the classroom.
Wins from Our Learners, Every Outcome Tells a Story
The real proof is in what learners do with what they’ve learned:
- Emmanuel and Abiodun both built working websites within days of joining.
- One learner, who asked to stay unnamed, earned over ₦1 million in a month after applying their new skills.
- Grace created brand assets, designs, and images that helped her promote and launch her business.
- Rafiat used AI to create an animated storybook, turning an idea into reality.
- Aku launched a cooking oil brand, using AI to make the process smoother.
- Harrison improved his company’s efficiency by building AI-powered workflows.
And the Academy itself is also being recognized. In 2025, we were selected for the INSEAD Founder Sprint and the Mastercard Foundation FAST Program. That global validation strengthens the learning experience we bring to every student.
Equipping Africa’s Workforce for the Global Stage, One Professional at a Time
When professionals pick up AI skills, industries change. Marketing teams become sharper, startups scale faster, and businesses gain the confidence to compete globally.
Africa doesn’t need to catch up — it needs to lead. Every professional who learns AI sparks change where they work. Every business owner who integrates it secures jobs and strengthens their company. Every freelancer who levels up connects directly to opportunities beyond borders.
This vision was at the heart of our founder’s message at the Leadership and Economic Summit 2025, where he shared how AI skills can transform not just careers but economies.
Together, these wins build something bigger: a stronger, more resilient economy.
AI Is No Longer Optional
AI isn’t something you can ignore anymore. Companies everywhere are moving quickly. The people who adapt will stay relevant. The ones who don’t risk being left behind.
AI Literacy Academy makes sure that doesn’t happen here. By focusing on practical, usable skills, we’re giving Africa’s workforce the tools to compete, grow, and lead.
This isn’t just training. It’s empowerment.
AI is here to stay. The real question is: are you ready to make it work for you?
