FAQs

How can I get in touch with ALX Africa to answer the questions I have?
Please ask LEA our Learning Experience Assistant for more information and answers to any additional questions.
What is ALX?
ALX offers internationally certifed, job-ready training in the fastest growing tech industries. ALX is brought to you by the African Leadership Group, the organisation that leads African Leadership Academy, African Leadership University, the ROOM, ALX Ventures and SAND Technologies.
What is the selection process like?
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 15 mins to complete. Applicants will also receive access to the online application via email. Your link to the application is personal and therefore cannot be shared.
When will I hear if I’m accepted?
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. Applicants will receive their results within 3 business days after submission.
How does the payment work?
Accepted applicants will be asked to complete their one-time payment when confirming their enrollment into the programme. Accepted applicants will receive an email to confirm enrolment into their selected programme from selection@alx.app. From this email you will be able to access our dedicated payment portal to pay your fee. You can either pay for the ALX Administration fee yourself or have someone pay for you on your behalf. We accept all major Debit and Credit Cards, Applepay, Googlepay and Fawry. You will have the option to pay in EGP or in USD.
What does ‘fully sponsored’ mean? Will I still need to pay the administration fee?
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.
When will I need to pay?
For our Intro to Software Engineering, payment will be due from one month on before the programme start date, and no later than 5 business days before the programme start date.
What happens if I drop out or am unable to complete the course, will I receive a refund?
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.
How do I join The ROOM?
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.
How can I attend in a Tech Lab?
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.
If I don’t meet the age and origin requirements, can I still apply for a paid place?
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.
