Every cohort, on one grid

Fourteen courses, each taught twice in the training year that opens on Monday 1 February 2027 and closes on 14 July 2028: once in person in Nairobi and once in person in Accra. Cohorts run in pairs by hub — two in Nairobi, then two in Accra, and so on — so a visiting faculty travels once for every two courses. The year opens with Economic Modelling and Climate Modelling in Nairobi, and Energy Modelling and Transport and Water Modelling are always taught back to back. No two cohorts run at the same time, and at least three clear travel days are left between one cohort and the next.

The programme at a glance

Two hubs: Nairobi and Accra

Each row is a hub. Every course appears once in each row, and its two runs sit well apart so both regions have an early and a late chance to take it. Select any bar to read that course and take a place on it.

Each bar carries its course number. Hover or tab to a bar to preview the cohort below the grid; select it to open the course.

Fifty-six cohorts

Tuition In person US$200 per contact day The fee is the rate times the course’s contact days, so a five-day course is US$1,000 and a ten-day course US$2,000.

Scheduling rules

Rule 01

One course a school

Each numbered directory of the Academy is one course. The units inside it are its modules, and folders with no materials yet are listed as modules still to be written.

Rule 02

Five to ten days

A course runs four days plus one for each module, bounded to five and ten, with a day more where the modules average fifty or more specified hours. Executive Programmes run their audience tracks side by side in five days.

Rule 03

Two at each hub in turn

Cohorts run in pairs: two consecutive courses at the Nairobi hub, then two at the Accra hub, repeating through the year. Every course is taught once at each hub, with its two runs well apart, and at least three clear days are left for travel between cohorts.

Rule 04

Holidays and order

A cohort does not teach on its hub’s public holidays — Kenya for Nairobi, Ghana for Accra — and runs on instead. The year opens with Economic Modelling and Climate Modelling; the remaining courses follow, spaced across the calendar.

Enrolment, nomination and assessment

Individual enrolment opens eight weeks before the first contact day and institutional nominations close four weeks before, so a course can be built around the institution’s own questions. The final assessment is submitted within two weeks of the last contact day. Courses whose materials are still being written are held on the calendar from July 2027 and are confirmed when their materials pass review.

Cohorts absorbing a holiday

Public holidays are taken from the Kenyan and Ghanaian calendars. Eid dates are subject to sighting and are confirmed when gazetted; a cohort affected by a change is told before enrolment closes.

Not yet written

The build queue

These module folders exist in the Academy directories but carry no teaching materials yet. Where a course has other modules it is taught without them; Industry Modelling and Executive Programmes have none yet, so their dates are provisional.

Enrolment

Take a place, or nominate a team

Individual enrolment opens per cohort. Institutions nominating a group are scheduled directly, and a training partner can deliver any of these courses under licence.
