FAQ

Answers to common questions

Everything you need to know about applying, paying and starting your cloud workspace.

Why is there a setup fee?

The one-time KES 2,000 fee covers provisioning your dedicated cloud development workspace — compute, storage, preinstalled tooling and mentor support. Because the workspace stays with you, it also funds ongoing hosting.

What happens after payment?

Your payment is verified, your workspace is provisioned, and you receive login credentials, the technical assessment brief and an interview schedule by email.

How long does setup take?

Most workspaces are ready within 24 hours of successful payment.

Can I continue using the cloud environment after the interview?

Yes. Your workspace remains active so you can keep learning, building projects and preparing for future opportunities.

Is the setup fee refundable?

The fee is non-refundable once your workspace has been provisioned, since costs are incurred at provisioning time.

Can graduates apply?

Absolutely. We run a dedicated Graduate Trainee program alongside internships and junior roles.

Do internships require experience?

No formal experience required. We look for curiosity, some evidence of building things, and the drive to grow.

What technologies will I use?

The stack depends on your track: JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, Node.js, Docker, Linux, Git, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, Azure and GCP are all supported in your workspace.

How will I receive my login credentials?

Credentials are delivered to the email address on your Stage One application within 24 hours of payment verification.
