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

Learners, young people or educators building structured computing and computer-science knowledge.

Hardware access

Personal 64-bit computer with 4 GB RAM and 20 GB free, or use the required device and software at a readiness-approved THNF centre.

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

Further computer-science study, programming study, teaching support or an entry-level technical portfolio.

Progression is not a guarantee of employment or external certification.

Sierra Leone context

Use accurate Sierra Leonean names, districts, NLe values, familiar services, shared-device realities and low-connectivity alternatives without stereotypes.

Skills in context

Career directions and next steps

These are realistic directions that the skills can support—not promises of employment, job titles or external certification.
