Weekly Schedule

Pick Any 3
Sessions.

Every week you choose which 3 sessions to attend from the 6 available. Commit at the start of each Monday. Change your picks next week if life happens.

Monday
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM ● Live Online

Evening session — perfect after work or class. Zoom link sent on booking.

Tuesday
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM ● Live Online

Morning session for early birds and students with free mornings.

Wednesday
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM ● Live Online

Mid-week evening — keep the momentum going.

Thursday
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM ● Live Online

Second morning option. Great for students with Thursday lecture gaps.

Saturday
9:00 AM – 11:00 AM ◆ Hybrid

Attend in-person (Nairobi CBD) or join online. Best for hands-on labs.

Saturday
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM ◆ Hybrid

Afternoon option for those with morning commitments. Same lab content.

Missed a session? Every session is recorded and available within 2 hours of ending. Watch the recording and submit a short reflection note (100–150 words) and it counts toward your attendance. You need 75% attendance to receive your certificate — that's 9 of 12 sessions over 4 weeks.

Beta Testers Say

Real Feedback.
Real People.

"

I enrolled in the cybersecurity course not knowing what a firewall even was. Four weeks later I could explain network segmentation to my IT manager at work. The Kenya-specific examples made everything click — finally, content that doesn't assume I'm in Silicon Valley.

"

The flexible scheduling is what sold me. I'm in 3rd year engineering at UoN — my timetable changes every week. Being able to pick my 3 sessions on Monday morning meant I never fell behind. The Python project I built got me an internship interview.

I've tried three other online platforms and always dropped out by week 2. Brains-Mtaani is different — the cohort is small enough that the instructor actually knows your name. When I struggled with AWS IAM roles, I got a personal voice note explaining it.

About Brains-Mtaani

Why We Built
This.

Kenya has 45,000+ unfilled tech jobs and a massive shortage of certified professionals — yet most training available is either unaffordable, inaccessible, or completely disconnected from how Kenyan businesses actually work.

We built Brains-Mtaani because we see the potential in young talent.

Brains-Mtaani unveils the warrior in you. We believe every student who commits to learning a hard skill — despite a full schedule, a tight budget, and limited data — is a warrior. You deserve training that treats you like one.

This is a beta. We're learning alongside you, fixing what doesn't work, and building toward something much bigger. Your feedback isn't just welcome — it's the whole point.

FAQ

Common
Questions.

No — all courses are designed for complete beginners. The only thing you need is a working phone or laptop and a willingness to show up consistently. We start from absolute scratch in every course.
Every session is recorded and uploaded within 2 hours of finishing. Watch the recording and submit a short reflection note (100–150 words on what you learned) and it counts as attendance. You need 75% attendance — 9 of 12 sessions — to graduate and receive your certificate.
Every Monday by 8am you'll receive a WhatsApp message with that week's 6 session slots. Reply with your 3 chosen sessions and you'll receive Zoom links for each one. You can change your picks up until Sunday night the week before.
Yes — no hidden fees, no upsells, no "premium access." This is a test phase price and will increase when we launch publicly. The full course price after beta will be KES 12,000–25,000 depending on the course. Beta students also get priority access to the full programme at discounted alumni pricing.
Fill in the enrolment form and you'll receive our Pochi la Biashara number. Send the course fee via M-Pesa to that number, then WhatsApp your M-Pesa confirmation SMS to +254 710 492 033. Your access will be activated within 10 minutes.
You receive a Brains-Mtaani Beta Certificate — a digital PDF certificate with a unique verification ID. Employers can verify it at brains-mtaani.co.ke/verify/[your-ID]. It also includes a LinkedIn-ready badge. TVET accreditation is planned for later this year.
Not at all — anyone can enrol. We have working professionals, recent graduates, career changers, and university students all learning together. The beta cohort is intentionally mixed because learning alongside people from different backgrounds makes the experience richer for everyone.
Yes — full refund within 48 hours of payment, no questions asked. After 48 hours, you can transfer your enrolment to a friend or roll over to a future cohort. WhatsApp +254 710 492 033 or email [email protected] with your M-Pesa confirmation.
