Frequently asked questions
How do I join a course?
Choose a course and date, then click Express interest. Tell us how many people you would like to train, and we will send you a quotation or proposal and an invoice within one working day.
Why aren't course fees shown on the website?
Every engagement is shaped around the number of participants, the delivery mode and how much tailoring you need. We send a clear quotation or proposal for your specific needs, usually within one working day.
Do I need a technical background?
No. Most of our courses are designed for professionals with no technical or programming background. Each course page shows its level, and advanced courses list any prerequisites.
What will I leave with?
Every participant leaves with a tangible output (a working tool, dashboard, policy or portfolio project built on their own work) and a Dlearn certificate of competency.
Can a course be delivered just for our organisation?
Yes. Every course can be run in-house at your premises, at a venue of your choice, or online, and tailored to your sector, systems and data. We send a proposal within two working days.
Do you train large groups or whole organisations?
Yes. Our AI capacity building programmes train hundreds of staff across departments or counties, with learning pathways from foundation to advanced and reporting for leadership and funders.
How do I pay?
Once you accept our quotation, we issue an invoice payable by bank transfer, M-Pesa or cheque. Payment is normally due before the course starts unless agreed otherwise.
