1. Distributing High-Quality, World-Recognized Courses Only
We are the sole distributor in Africa for the prestigious MindEdge Learning brand, well-known globally for high-quality online learning. We offer our continent only the best and nothing short of it. MindEdge has educated over 2 million learners in about 20 years. Their clients include Duke University, Drexel University, University of Texas Austin, and many more. It is important to note that good percentage of our (MindEdge) courses will not be found on other platforms. Because one of our goals is to increase the income/ job placement of our customers after successfully completing our courses (which is part of the testimonials of people around the world who have taken MindEdge courses), we do not want to offer anything less than the best. We want to ensure that our stakeholders (employers, entrepreneurs, jobseekers, etnry-level and mid-level professionals, among others) get full benefits of their investment on our platform.
By distributing these courses in Africa on behalf of MindEdge Learning, we are ensuring that our customers can pay in an African currency. Our payment gateway is currently PayStack, a successful African startup, which provides jobs to African professionals. This means that we are helping keep revenue on the African continent. Note that the other big online learning platforms do not directly benefit African GDP. This website caters to ALL African nations (and not just Nigeria) and all lovers of African success and development. The reason the current currency of the website is in Naira is because of the limitation of PayStack. As they add more currencies to their payment collection, we will do the same.
If you are in an African country other than Nigeria with a strong payment gateway to collect money in your local currency, please send your recommendation to info@aprofessionalafrica.com. We will review your suggestion and add the gateway to our website if our team approves it.
2. Certifications Always
While other websites allow you to take courses without receiving certificates of completion, for now, we do not because that is not part of the MindEdge business model. They already have over 2 million learners with superior clients and their model works for them. You can expect to receive a certificate always as long as you pass your course. Note that a good percentage of our courses cannot be found on other learning platforms. So, you benefit greatly here.
Other online platforms may charge you a lower fee or even no fee for a course but you will have to pay higher when you select a certification, which most people feel they have to do by the end of the course. Again, remember you cannot find a number of our courses anywhere else.
3. "Certificates" or Course-Bundles
Our page on "Certificates" is a list of course-bundles in different categories. A certificate in a given category could save you 20 to 40% in individual courses because it contains multiple courses in the category. So, instead of paying N400,000 for 10 individual courses, you would be paying a much lesser fee by buying courses in bulk through the "Certificates" page.
4. Ask the Expert Feature
The MindEdge platform has a unique "Ask the Expert" feature, which makes you feel like you are asking a question in a classroom. It submits your questions durectly to an expert in the field you are studying. Questions are answered as quickly as possible and usually within 24 hours.
5. Feedback
You can provide feedback to MindEdge while taking a class. It will be considered and applied if accepted. MindEdge believes in continuous improvement. This is why they have returning customers over the last 20 years and over 2 million learners.
6. Engaging Coursework
Coursework is engaging and appropriately timed. It does not take months to complete a course. You can complete the courses in as short a time as you like or longer (as long as the access time). We would LOVE you to share your testimonials with us.
7. World-Recognized
We will be adding global job opportunities capability to our website in a few months, which will be accessible to our clients who have purchased courses. Your certificates will help you succeed in these opportunities. Also, because MindEdge courses are world-recognized, you can use them to waive courses in the United States especially, if you have plans to get admitted to graduate programs in the United States. Note that our hope is that our courses and course-bundles will help you succeed well enough that you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on graduate programs in the US or elsewhere.
8. Our Videos
We will continue to share knowledge through our global leaders on this platform and know you will benefit greatly from them.
