Gold, trading and transit
Siguiri's economy is organised around gold mining, industrial and artisanal alike, and the trade it feeds: equipment, fuel, parts, food, transport and services. Proximity to Mali sustains a permanent flow of goods and an active exchange market. This economy employs many and documents little: the same person runs a workshop, holds stock and leads a team with nothing on paper to attest it. A verifiable certificate changes matters when applying to an industrial principal.
- Industrial and artisanal gold mining
- Trade in equipment, fuel and spare parts

Getting what you already know recognised
Many candidates from Siguiri arrive with years of practice and are looking for the document that attests it. The programme starts there: the admission interview places your starting point, short paths finish in a few weeks and can be presented at once, and validated learning carries over if you then continue to a longer path. Work is done at your hours, offline, and assessments include a remote identity check that gives the resulting document its value.

Questions asked from Siguiri
Does my experience count in the application?
It weighs as much as the school record, and more on vocational paths: field experience, including experience gained informally, is examined at interview. An unconventional path carried by a clear project is an admissible application.
How many hours a week should I plan for?
Each path states that figure on its page, and it means actual work: reading, exercises, submitted output. The metrics on this page carry the range for the paths recommended here, so you decide before committing rather than in the third month.
How do I prove my training to a recruiter?
Through the public verification link printed on the certificate: it opens without an account and shows the title, the date, the supervised hours and the assessed units. It is a document a prequalification desk can process directly, without calling you back.
