Please ask LEA our Learning Experience Assistant for more information and answers to any additional questions.

ALX offers job-ready training in the tech fields employers need most. ALX, in partnership with The ROOM, is brought to you by the organisation that leads African Leadership Academy, African Leadership University, and Anzisha Prize Foundation.

The ALX Selection Process is a two-step online process. First applicants will be required to complete a registration form which will take a few minutes to complete. Once this has been submitted, applicants will be directed to our online application platform. The application will take approximately 90 mins to complete and consists of three sections; including an English proficiency test. Applicants will also receive access to the online application via email. Your link to the application is personal and therefore cannot be shared.

ALX programmes have a set number of cohort seats and in order to ensure you stand the best possible chance of getting accepted into the programme we recommend you apply as early as possible. The ALX selection period is split into two halves. Learners who apply before 14th August will receive feedback on their registration by 22nd August. Learners who apply later than 14th August will receive feedback by 20th September.

With the support of our partners, ALX is able to offer young African talent access to world-class, high quality programmes to help them build their skills to be successful in the digital workforce of tomorrow. This means that if you meet our eligibility requirements, and if you are able to successfully motivate for the program to be fully sponsored, you will not need to pay the programme costs which range from $7,500 USD to $39,750 USD for African students. ALX does charge a one-off administration fee to all successfully enrolled learners, meaning that once you are accepted into your programme of choice, you are required to pay this one-time fee in order to continue into your course.

Learners will be asked to complete their one-time payment when confirming their enrollment into the programme, no later than two weeks after receiving their confirmation of acceptance.

The registration fee is a non-refundable, one-time fee that is charged prior to starting your programme. You will not receive a refund if you are unable to complete the programme, however you will be able to defer to a later cohort. Please note that the deferment cut off date is at the end of week 2 of your programme. After this date you will not be able to select to defer and will be considered as having dropped out of your programme. If you do decide to defer to another cohort, you will not be required to pay the administration fee again.

Upon successful completion of your programme, you will be invited to join The ROOM community where you will have access to a global network of resources, job opportunities, and on-going career support.

All Tech Tracks are fully remote. Physical attendance is not required to complete the programme. If you want to attend any offline opportunity you will be invited to register via a link sent by our coordinators.

Learners who do not meet the country of origin or age requirements for sponsored placements have the option to pay for the programme, or apply for our ALX Global programmes. ALX Global programmes are offered at reduced time and rate, however will not include the foundation modules or offer access to any of our in-person, community or hub activations.
