FAQs
ALX offers job-ready training in the tech fields employers need most. ALX, in partnership with The ROOM, is brought to you by the organisation that leads African Leadership Academy, African Leadership University, and Anzisha Prize Foundation.
The ALX Selection Process is a two-step online process. First applicants will be required to complete an account on our admissions portal which will take a few minutes to complete. Once this has been submitted, applicants will be directed to our online application platform. The application will take approximately 20-45 mins to complete depending on the programme you are applying for and consists of three sections; including an English proficiency test. Applicants will also receive access to the online application via email. Your link to the application is personal and therefore cannot be shared.
The low-cost, one-time administration fee helps ALX as we continue to grow our robust online and in-person infrastructure for learners. Our city Hubs can continue to provide learners with access to state-of-the-art tech and infrastructure, providing a space for collaboration and study that is unmatched. We can also maintain our online portal to make it easier for students to access our vast tech community. The administration fee helps us keep our online portal, modern infrastructure, and career network up and running.
Please note that the administration fee is only paid for the Data Analytics, Data Science, AWS Cloud Computing, Salesforce Administrator, Front-End Web Development and Back-End Web Development Programmes. The AI Career Essentials Programme (AICE) does not have an administration fee.
Please ask LEA our Learning Experience Assistant for more information and answers to any additional questions.
Attending the in-person hubs is a benefit of the ALX learning experience. The in-person co-working spaces are designed to provide accountability, peer support, and the opportunity for face-to-face interaction and networking. This is intended to boost productivity and help individuals achieve their goals.
All our programmes are beginner-friendly and do not require any previous tech knowledge.
Our various programmes require different time commitments to complete. Our Tech Lite programmes are designed specifically to cater to learners who might have other commitments – like school or a job – to tend to. So long as you are dedicated to the programme, you can make it work.
Additionally, there are no live lectures or classes to attend. Instead, programmes consist of recorded lectures, chats in online forums, and milestone-led coursework. This means that you can choose to learn at your own pace and a time that suits your schedule best.
After completing our programmes, you will receive a certificate. Upon successful completion of AWS Cloud Computing, you will receive a Cloud Practitioner certificate, issued by Amazon Web Services. After completing the Salesforce Administrator programme, you will receive a Salesforce Administrator certificate directly from Salesforce. On completion of Data Analytics, Data Science, Front-End Web Development, Back-End Web Development and AI Career Essentials, you will receive a certificate of completion from ALX.

All communication regarding your admission will be sent through the portal. Accepted
applicants will see a green “confirmed” button on their homepage.
Unfortunately, dropped applications cannot be continued. You will need to apply to another
programme or use a different email address.
