Yes — 100% free for every accepted applicant. Both the UI/UX Design and Data Analysis Scholarship Bootcamps are fully funded by Idealnovate Africa. We believe your financial situation should never determine your access to world-class tech education. All you need is commitment, consistency, and a device to learn on.
Not at all. Both bootcamps are built for complete beginners — whether you're coming from a business, social science, arts, or health background. We start from the very foundations and build your skills step by step. Zero prior coding, design, or analytics experience is required.
Both bootcamps run for 2 weeks across 6 live online sessions — roughly 14 hours of live instruction in total. The UI/UX Design track covers Figma, design thinking, prototyping, and product design. The Data Analysis track covers Microsoft Excel, Power BI, and SQL for real-world data work. Each session is 2–3 hours of live class time, plus self-paced assignments.
You need a working laptop or desktop (Windows or Mac) with a stable internet connection. UI/UX Design: Figma has a free browser-based tier — no expensive software needed. Data Analysis: Microsoft Excel and Power BI are available free or at low cost — we'll guide you through setup before the first session. A smartphone is also useful for community engagement.
Yes. Upon completing all 6 sessions, your assignments, and your capstone project, you'll receive a premium verifiable Idealnovate Africa certificate for your chosen track. It's shareable directly to LinkedIn and recognised by hiring managers across Africa, the UK, and beyond.
Our graduates have landed roles and freelance contracts at Paystack, Access Bank, Thuja, Bolt, Moniepoint, Jumia, and many more — across design, analytics, and business intelligence. We provide career support, CV reviews, portfolio critiques, LinkedIn optimisation, and access to our hiring partner network. Over 85% of graduates report improved career outcomes within 90 days.
All live sessions are recorded and made available to enrolled students within 24 hours. However, we strongly encourage consistent live attendance — it is tied to your grade scores and determines progression through the programme.
Absolutely. We maintain a talent pipeline of certified, job-ready UI/UX designers and data analysts available for internships, junior roles, and freelance contracts. Reach out at hire@idealnovate.com or via WhatsApp and we'll send you a curated shortlist within 48 hours.
