International certifications
for students & high schoolers
Higher education and studying abroad require a command of technology that secondary school doesn't teach yet. SEKOO fills that gap with rigorous, accessible and certifying programs.
The technology gap in higher education
Leaving secondary school in Cameroon or Africa, many students arrive in higher education, especially abroad, with a real technology gap. It's not a question of intelligence. It's a question of exposure.
A student going to France, Canada or Belgium will face, from the first week, tools, practices and a level of technical demand that their local classmates have mastered for years.
SEKOO is here to close that gap with targeted, progressive programs directly aligned with what higher education expects.
Canada, France, Belgium, USA: we prepare them for local technology standards.
African universities are raising the bar. Being certified gives a decisive edge from the first year.
IT Essentials, Python Institute, Cisco — proof of skills recognised by universities.

What our former students say
I joined the Université de Montréal in Computer Engineering. My Quebec classmates had done Python since high school. Thanks to SEKOO, I was at the same level from the first class.
The IT Essentials certification exempted me from a whole module in first year. My teacher was impressed that I had that level coming from Africa. SEKOO gave me that head start.
I was studying for a degree in Douala. SEKOO's databases program saved my life in second year. I understood the classes while my classmates were still finding their feet.
