Frequently Asked Questions

Will I pay for data?

You can use Wi-Fi or mobile data to access lessons. Your mobile provider’s standard data charges may apply.

Can I learn offline?

Yes! You can learn offline using the Young Africa App, our custom-branded mobile app. Simply download your course content while connected to the internet, and access your learning materials anytime, anywhere, even without an internet connection.

How do I get a certificate?

Certification takes place in two phases. First, learners who successfully complete the theoretical component and pass their practical assignments will be awarded a Certificate of Completion. They will then present this certificate to a Master Craftsperson as they proceed to the practical internship. Upon successfully completing the internship, learners will receive a final certificate confirming that they have completed both the theoretical learning and practical internship components of the programme.

What does the trade test cost?

Trade test fees vary depending on the country, trade and authorised assessment body. Learners are responsible for covering the cost of the Level 3 Trade Test, including any applicable assessment or examination fees. For information on the applicable fees and payment arrangements, contact your nearest Young Africa Centre directly. Our team will guide you on the costs and registration process.
