About the academy
The KFokam Telco Academy is a one-year, on-campus program that trains technicians for the networks that connect Africa. Learners study how communication networks are built and operated, how wired and wireless systems carry information, and how data travels reliably across the world. It is open to everyone, whatever their academic level.
What you will learn

Hands-on from day one
Alongside the principles of network architecture, data communications and signal transmission, learners gain hands-on skills: configuring networks, diagnosing faults, and analysing the performance and security of communication systems. By the end of the year they know how to install, maintain and troubleshoot the systems that keep people and businesses connected.
Careers in telecoms
Mobile operators, Internet providers and the companies that build and maintain their infrastructure all need skilled technicians.
