Kinshasa Digital Academy offers high-end specialist and digital marketing courses to all people interested in Kinshasa or Goma, D. R. Congo. The programme lasts 9 months, followed by an internship of 3 or 6 months. Kinshasa Digital Academy prepares its students for jobs at the most high-end companies. They contacted us for low-cost, high-quality IT devices to facilitate their program and we were of course glad to be of service.

Embarking on an educational journey with Kinshasa Digital!

The Academy received more than 160 IT devices among which laptops, headsets, projectors and monitors! The devices will be used by the learners at the academy who are on average 24 years old and live in Kinshasa and Goma. By using the IT devices, the students can really put into practice what they have learned during their training period.
