Questions asked from Dakar
Can I apply from Senegal?
Yes. The application is submitted online, the interview is held remotely at a slot you choose, and the whole programme is followed from Dakar. The documents required are the same whatever your country of residence.
Can a Senegalese employer verify the certificate?
It carries a public verification link openable from any country without an account, showing the exact title, the date, the supervised hours, the credits and the assessed units. The institution's status and how to check it are published on the page devoted to it.
Do courses reflect the regional framework?
Management, finance and compliance paths build on the business framework common to the region, notably its harmonised business law, and case studies are drawn from West African organisations. That is what makes the skills directly transferable in Dakar.
