Foundation

Build the capabilities everyone needs.

Not everyone needs to become an engineer. Everyone needs to understand technology, work well with AI and solve problems in a changing workplace. This is the entry point to Zuka, and it is not a prerequisite.

How the program works

Step01

Learn

Understand the concepts, tools and methods. Short practical lessons that feed straight into the work, not lectures for their own sake.

Step02

Build

Apply what you learn through projects and challenges with real deadlines. Every one ends in something you can show.

Step03

Work

Solve problems for real organisations and real customers. An AI application, a campaign, a finance workflow, a transformation plan.

Step04

Launch

Turn your work into a product, a business, a portfolio or a career opportunity. Every program ends on a stage.

How enrollment works.

Step01

Application

Pick your program and intake, then tell us about your education, work experience and why you want to join.

Step02

Interview

A short conversation with our team to understand your goals and confirm you are a fit for the cohort.

Step03

Placement

We confirm your intake and program fee. Secure your spot with a deposit and clear the balance before it starts.

Step04

Program

You join the cohort and start real work from week one, alongside your team, coach and mentors.

Before you apply, read this.

Is Zuka a school?

No. Schools pass on knowledge and then end. Zuka gets you building and does not end. You will learn a lot here, but learning is a side effect. The main work is making real things with real people for real stakes.

Which program is for me?

Pick the function you want to work in. Building software, AI and data products is Technology. Content, brand and sales is Marketing. Finance, HR, legal and operations is Operations. Managing teams and driving change is Leadership. Starting a company is Entrepreneurship. Not sure yet, or new to all of it? Start with Foundation.

Do I have to do Foundation first?

No. Foundation is an entry point, not a prerequisite. If you already have the capabilities, go straight into a specialised program. If you are unsure, six weeks in Foundation gives you an honest answer and a base to build on.

Do I need a technical background?

Only Technology is a technical program. Foundation, Marketing, Operations, Leadership and Entrepreneurship are for people in any field. All of them will stretch whatever skills you bring.

What does it cost?

Each intake has its own price and you see it in Kenyan shillings before you commit. Foundation and the Advanced programs are priced separately. There are no hidden costs and no application fees.

How do I pay, and what if I can't yet?

You pay with M-Pesa from the enrollment page. Approve the prompt on your phone and your account is created as soon as the payment confirms. Not ready? Choose pay later. We save your details and a real person calls you. Your spot stays open while you get the money together.

Your intake is open.

Pick your program and intake. It takes a few minutes.
