Why learners choose Teki-SL

Read what learners say about their learning experience

Deployed first live web project

“Before Teki-SL, I thought tech careers were only for people abroad. During our 8-week Foundations training in Freetown, Mr. Ibrahim showed us how global remote work actually operates. I went from being scared of the terminal to deploying my first live project.”
Marie KamaraCohort 1 · Foundations

Mastered Git & professional Slack communication

“What makes Teki-SL different is that you don’t just watch videos. Every single week, Dyphan and Ibrahim reviewed our code. They taught us how to communicate clearly on Slack, how to write clean commits on GitHub, and how to carry ourselves like global engineers.”
Alieu BarrieCohort 1 · Foundations

Built automated data cleaning scripts

“I started the Foundations track with zero Excel knowledge. By week 6, I was writing scripts to structure real Freetown datasets and creating interactive dashboards. The mentorship here pushed me beyond what I thought was possible.”
Francis FodayCohort 1 · Foundations

Practiced live terminal & cloud lab setups

“Learning tech infrastructure right here from Sierra Leone seemed intimidating at first. But the Teki-SL Foundations environment let me practice real Linux terminal commands and deploy servers straight from my browser.”
Bockarie JimmyCohort 1 · Foundations

Structured professional technical writing

“The AI productivity tools and communication frameworks taught in Cohort 1 completely transformed how I present my work. We learned how to use modern tech tools ethically for structuring projects with clarity for international clients.”
Fatima MansarayCohort 1 · Foundations

Created full Figma UI prototypes for briefs

“Teki-SL gave us real project briefs instead of theoretical exercises. I learned how to turn client requirements in Freetown into modern Figma UI prototypes and responsive layouts that compete on a global standard.”
Emmanuel SesayCohort 1 · Foundations

Mentoring youth in community digital skills

“I want to express my deep gratitude to Teki-SL and our instructor Ibrahim George Foday. The digital literacy and productivity skills I gained in Cohort 1 have allowed me to train youth in my local community and help small businesses get online.”
Samuel Martin SilvalieCohort 1 · Foundations

Collaborated on real team coding projects

“The community support from Dyphan and our peer study groups made all the difference. Even when we lost power during late-night coding sessions, someone on the Teki-SL Discord was always ready to help debug my code.”

Frequently asked questions

5 answers

01What does tuition-free mean?
Tuition-free describes the cost, not the standard. Places are limited and awarded by application, and a learner we accept pays no tuition, no income-share agreement, and no hidden fees. Applying costs nothing either.
02What is the Professional Foundations Program?
It is our mandatory 8-week prerequisite program. Before specializing in Web Development, Data Analytics, or GIS, all learners must complete this foundation to build their soft skills, internalize the CHAIR values, and develop basic technical literacy.
03Who is eligible to apply?
The program is open to all youth in Sierra Leone who are passionate about technology, eager to learn, and willing to commit to our rigorous, portfolio-driven training schedule.
04What are the CHAIR values?
CHAIR stands for Commitment, Honesty, Accountability, Integrity, and Respect. These core values are integrated into every aspect of our training to ensure we build well-rounded professionals.
05Do I need prior coding experience?
No prior coding experience is required! Our Professional Foundations Program is specifically designed to take you from zero to ready-to-learn.
