Good day,
I am based in Dubai and interested in taking the centonomy courses. I wanted to inquire if the campus has correspondence for interested people living out of kenya.

Hi,
Currently, we don’t have classes for people living out of Kenya but we are working on developing a program flexible enough to accommodate those in the diaspora. We will inform you as soon as we roll it out.
Hello
i would really love to attend your training but want to know:
1. Will the training collide with the Christmas holiday?
2. If one was to pay through installment should they come with the 2500 every Saturday
3. How is this edition for university beneficial to me rather than the normal 11 week course with the older people who i can get to network with??
ps am a University going student
Hi Alice,
Thank you for your interest.
To Answer your question:
1. No the training will not coincide with the Christmas holiday. The last class will be on 20th December.
2. Yes, If you decide to pay by installments. That will be 2500/= for three Saturdays which should make it easier & manageable for you to pay.
3. As a university student the Campus Edition content is specially designed with campus students in mind. It breaks down all the concepts in a practical, relevant and easy to understand style for those in campus. It is also more relevant for you if you are in campus because it teaches you financial life skills that will help you when you get into the job market and while you are in school.
If you need any more information please call us on 0700 036 433
HI.am very intrested but i think ,you should consider having this in town(CBD) too like the normal 11 week course.
Hi Kelvin,
Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider that for future seasons. Would you still like to register for this season?

I am a University student but i cannot be able to attend the Campus Module since i am in Eldoret at the moment and i am finishing my exams on 20th of December.Luckily i reside in Nairobi therefore I would like to inquire whether this module will be available between January and May 2015 since i will be around Nairobi and i would like to undertake the course.
Regards.

Hi,
As a recent graduate, I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time and finally, I’ve found it. Even better is that the classes aren’t as expensive as i thought they would be.
My question though is if this is a monthly thing because i would very much like to start this in January.
Please reply.
