The gap
Learning a skill is not enough. You need the ability to apply it.
Many people spend years collecting certificates but still struggle to find opportunities because they lack:
- Practical experience
- A portfolio of real projects
- Confidence using digital tools
- The ability to solve business problems
The More Techies Digital Apprentice Fellowship changes that.
Inspired by the African apprenticeship model, we combine learning, mentorship, practice, and real-world projects to help you become a capable digital professional.
Learn → Build → Practise → Launch

Frequently asked questions
Answers about the Fellowship.
Eligibility, selection, schedule, and what to expect after you apply.
Eligibility
The Fellowship is open to ambitious Africans aged 18 and above — students, recent graduates, early-career professionals, career changers, and aspiring entrepreneurs. You don't need a technical background; you need curiosity, commitment, and time to fully engage with a 12-month programme.
No. The Fellowship pathways are designed for non-technical learners. You will use modern digital, AI, and no-code tools to build real projects rather than writing traditional code.
A laptop, a reliable internet connection, and a quiet space to focus. Some pathway tools may work on mobile, but a laptop is strongly recommended for project work.
Selection
You submit an online application sharing your background, goals, and preferred pathway. Shortlisted candidates are invited to a short interview so we can understand your motivation and confirm the Fellowship is a good fit. Successful applicants receive an offer and complete payment or set up their instalment plan to secure a place.
Cohorts are capped to protect the quality of mentorship and project feedback. We prioritise applicants who show genuine commitment, clarity about why they're joining, and a willingness to do the work — not certificates or prior experience.
Schedule
Plan for 8–12 hours per week across guided learning, project work, and mentorship. The Fellowship is designed to fit around studies or work, but it is a serious commitment over 12 months.
It's a blend. You'll follow structured learning at your own pace, attend live sessions with mentors and cohort mates, and work on real projects with feedback throughout the 12 months.
Yes. We support cohort deferrals in genuine circumstances so you can rejoin the next intake and complete the Fellowship without losing your progress.
After you apply
You'll receive a confirmation email within a few days. Shortlisted candidates are invited to a short interview, after which decisions are shared before the cohort start date. Successful applicants get onboarding details, pathway resources, and access to the cohort community.
After graduation, Fellows receive continued support including career preparation, portfolio development, professional branding, business setup guidance, access to opportunities, and the More Techies alumni community.
Reach out through our Contact page or email support@moretechies.co. We aim to respond within 1–2 business days.
