Three steps from application to your first remote role.

Choose the scholarship track or full tuition. Applications are reviewed in batches each cohort.

02

Train

10 weeks of live sessions, real tools and practical assignments — built for people working full days.

03

Leave with a portfolio, a polished profile and the skills employers actually screen candidates for.

Built for the roles companies are hiring for right now.

  • Virtual Assistant
  • Live Chat Agent
  • Executive Assistant

  • Help Desk Associate

Real students, real outcomes

What graduates tell us, mid-course and after.

Inside a live class

Real practical work, not theory.

This is an actual Trello board from a Virtual Assistance cohort — task management, deadlines and checklists, graded the way a real client would.

Real questions, real answers

What you actually walk away with.

What will I actually be able to do after 10 weeks?

Run AI-assisted support tools, manage a client's inbox and calendar end-to-end, or handle live customer service scenarios — depending on your track. By week 10 you've built a portfolio, not just notes.

What jobs can I realistically apply for after this?

Customer Support Specialist, Virtual Assistant, Live Chat Agent, Client Success Associate and similar remote roles. One graduate was picked for a Customer Care role at a Lagos fintech mid-cohort; another now earns $4/hour as a Remote Cold-Calling Specialist.

Do I walk away with just a certificate?

No. You get a completion certificate plus a working portfolio — simulated support cases, real task boards, systems you can actually show an employer. The certificate opens the conversation; the portfolio gets you through it.

How is this different from free tutorials online?

Structured weekly assignments, real tools (Trello, Slack, live chat simulations) and feedback on your actual work — not just videos. It's the difference between watching someone work and being graded on doing it yourself.

How fast could I realistically start applying for roles?

Mary was hired mid-cohort, before she even finished — between job interviews and a full schedule. Most students start applying with a portfolio in hand right after week 10.

Is there a way in if I can't pay full tuition?

Yes — that's exactly why the scholarship track exists. Apply for it on the Courses page; applications are reviewed in batches every cohort.

Real outcomes, not theory

Every graduate's result started the same way — they applied.

Our first cohort saw graduates hired before they even finished — in fintech customer care and remote specialist roles. If cost is what's holding you back, apply for the scholarship track instead of full tuition — that's exactly what it's there for.

Two ways in

Scholarship or full tuition — same training, same outcome.

AI Customer Support

Companies are rebuilding support desks around AI tools — and need people who can run them. This track makes you that person.

Who it's for

Anyone who can communicate clearly in writing and wants a support role that AI didn't replace — it created it.

What you'll learn

  • AI-assisted ticketing & live chat tools
  • Writing tone, scripts & macros
  • Escalation & handoff workflows
  • Quality & CSAT metrics employers track

You leave with

A portfolio of simulated support cases and a profile ready for remote support job applications.

Real result: graduates leave able to run AI-assisted support tools confidently enough to apply for remote support roles paid in USD — not unpaid "training positions."
10 WEEKS ₦85,000

Virtual Assistance

Founders and executives hire a VA before almost anyone else. This track builds the operating skills that make you indispensable.

Who it's for

Organized people who like keeping other people's chaos in order, and want to work directly with founders or small teams.

What you'll learn

  • Inbox, calendar & project ops
  • Client communication & reporting
  • Tool stack: Notion, Slack, Zapier
  • Pricing & managing your own client base

You leave with

A working systems portfolio and the confidence to pitch your first retainer client.

Real result: a portfolio you can show a founder in an interview, plus the pricing knowledge to land your first retainer client — the same path one of our graduates used to get hired mid-cohort.
10 WEEKS ₦85,000

Customer Service

The fundamentals every remote employer screens for, regardless of channel — voice, chat or email.

Who it's for

First-time job seekers who want a solid, in-demand foundation before specializing further.

What you'll learn

  • Voice, chat & email support fundamentals
  • Conflict de-escalation
  • Active listening & service recovery
  • Metrics employers actually check

You leave with

A certificate of completion and interview-ready answers for common service screening questions.

Real result: a completion certificate plus interview-ready answers — the exact screening employers use before they even get on a call with you.

About us

We're not waiting for opportunity to arrive. We're training for it.

Africa doesn't need to move for the world to hire it.

Africanism Academy was built on a simple bet: that African talent is already remote-ready in every way that matters — discipline, communication, adaptability — and just needs the specific, practical skills that remote employers screen for. We built the training we wished existed, then opened it to everyone willing to put in 10 weeks.

We're Lagos-based and fully remote ourselves, which means the team teaching this material lives the same reality our students are training for.

What we stand for

The principles behind every cohort.

01

Honest outcomes

We teach skills that get you interview-ready. We don't promise jobs we can't guarantee — your effort and the market decide the rest.

02

Two doors in

Money shouldn't be the only filter for who gets trained. The scholarship track exists for exactly that reason.

03

Built for real schedules

Every cohort is designed around people who are working, studying or job-hunting at the same time.

04

African by design

Our content, examples and community are built around the African experience of remote work — not a translated copy of someone else's.

Where we are

From one cohort to an institution.

01

Cohort 01

Our first group of students proved the training model worked.

02

Cohort 02

Now enrolling — scholarship and full-tuition applications open.

03

What's next

A growing waitlist, an expanding alumni network, and a training institution built to last.

From the team

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. Every cohort, every applicant, every WhatsApp message — we read it all. If you're on the fence about applying, reach out and talk to us first.

— The Africanism Academy Team

From the cohort

Real students. Real work.

Every assignment is graded the way an employer would — using real tools, with real feedback and real outcomes.
