Our Testimonials

The Bootcamp of 2023 had a profound impact on my professional journey, opening doors to numerous opportunities in the Learning and Development (L&D) industry. After the boot camp, I focused on sharpening my skills through new tools and certifications while volunteering within the community. This effort led to the creation of two short e-learning courses, enhancing my portfolio and showcasing my expertise. I got a role as a community manager, increasing my earning capacity by over 50% compared to my previous job. I leverage my new skills to design effective orientation materials and training curricula tailored for learners. Currently, I am interning as a Creative Designer with an eLearning company, where I am gaining valuable hands-on experience in course development and client management.

“one of the awesome things about this Boot camp is that aside from teaching us to be E-learning Developers we are also being equipped with entrepreneurial skills and even being taught how to make ourselves more employable”

“The LEAP Africa eLearning Boot camp was a turning point in my career. Through the boot camp, I gained insights into learning theories, learner personas, and storyboarding, and learned to design E-Learning courses using various tools. The opportunity to intern and eventually secure a job significantly improved my E-Learning design skills. In just 8 weeks, I was ready to take on my first project, and within 3 months, I had designed and received approval for my first course while interning at Alula Learning. 12 months later, I have designed several courses with the Alula Team. I’m deeply grateful to LEAP Africa for helping me achieve my career goals”

“ It’s been an eye-opening experience that has deepened my passion for the EduTech space. One of the major highlights for me has been learning about Voice Overs and Visual Design for e-learning platforms. It has completely changed the way I will continually approach content creation. I am also thrilled by how I can make the learning platform accessible for Inclusion considering People With Disabilities. Seeing my new skills come to life in real projects has been such a rewarding win.”

“The Boot Camp has been nothing short of transformative. From the very first session, I was captivated by the engaging content and the expertise of the facilitators. The hands-on approach allowed me to apply what I learned in real-time, enhancing my understanding of eLearning design principles and technologies. This experience not only boosted my confidence but also provided me with practical skills that I can apply in my current role. I definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to deepen their expertise in eLearning. Thank you for this incredible opportunity!”

“The EBC has reminded me of my resilience, passion, and empathy—traits I had lost while focusing on survival instead of thriving. I am committed to making an impact on African society through upskilling and providing local solutions to local problems. I intend to use these skills to enhance Zimbabwe’s manufacturing industry and revolutionize the education system of Zimbabwe and Africa as a whole.
My first encounter with the LEAP Africa Leadership Institute was through the Young Women Leaders Program, which set the foundation for my journey. I am grateful since then”
