Studying from Dubréka

Dubréka holds the mangroves, fishing, salt and the capital's market-garden belt. You follow an IHETC programme online, building the management, quality and enterprise skills these coastal chains live on.

Between the mangrove and the city

Dubréka lives on its coastline and its immediate proximity to Conakry: artisanal fishing, fish smoking and drying, salt making, mangrove rice, market gardening for the capital's markets, brickmaking and quarries. Urban demand is right there, a truck ride away, and that is exactly what makes management decisive: delivery regularity, consistent quality, cost-price calculation, preservation and hygiene. A business that produces well but sells badly leaves all its value on the road.

  • Artisanal fishing, fish smoking and drying
  • Salt making and mangrove rice growing
  • Market gardening for Conakry markets
  • Brickmaking, quarries and materials
  • Small retail, catering and local services

A programme that works with the tides

Coastal activity follows the tide and the season more than the clock. The programme runs with the same freedom: you decide the order of modules within a period, download what you need when the network is good, and then work offline. Live sessions are recorded and can be caught up, and assessment dates, published in advance, are set outside the weeks when production dictates everything. Nothing is lost between one session offline and the next.

Your content, taken with you

A module downloads in Dubréka when the network is good, then reads and works offline.

Your exchanges

Per-course forum, group work and peer review, with your cohort and your tutor.

Your proof

A timestamped certificate, with a public verification link an employer opens without an account.

Paying from Dubréka

Fees are denominated in Guinean francs and settled from Dubréka by mobile money or bank transfer. Instalments adjust to irregular income: you choose the cadence at enrolment and every payment is confirmed by a receipt, with the outstanding balance permanently visible. Your fees cover all the content of the path taken, supervision, marking, the tutor, assessments and scheduled resits, the certificate, its verification link and access to the content after the path ends.

  • Owner-manager of a small or medium business
  • Food quality and hygiene technician
  • Small-business administration assistant
  • Marketing assistant and community manager
  • Transport and warehousing operations officer

Questions asked from Dubréka

I want to start a business. Does the programme prepare for that?

Entrepreneurship paths are built around your own project: market study, business model, cost price, cash-flow plan, registration and first customers. What you submit for assessment is the very file you will then present to a bank or a partner.

Can I study with an irregular connection?

Yes. Content downloads when the network is available and is then followed entirely offline; your answers and submissions upload by themselves when the signal returns. It is a constraint taken into account from the design of the courses onwards.

Is there an age limit to apply?

Paths address both a young person leaving secondary school and someone twenty years into their trade. What is examined is the entry level stated on the programme page and the clarity of your project.
