Access and progression

Know what the course requires.

The required capability matters; the learner does not have to personally own every device.

Who it is for

Aspiring developers, technical learners, career changers and practitioners seeking applied computing skills.

Hardware access

A smartphone supports personal study. A readiness-approved THNF centre supplies the keyboard-equipped computer required for practical work.

Software and practical access

Course software is available through the text-first pack, an approved offline installer or a readiness-approved THNF centre.

Possible progression

Junior development, data, web, application-support or technical-project progression appropriate to the completed portfolio.

Progression is not a guarantee of employment or external certification.

Sierra Leone context

Low-cost/shared phones, mobile-data cost, Orange Money and Afrimoney safety, WhatsApp/email, misinformation and intermittent electricity.
