What is the RodiumAi Bootcamp?

Key facts:
12 intensive weeks — 1 live session per week (100 minutes with an expert)
15 places per cohort — selective admission
100% free — no tuition fees
100% online — evening sessions adapted to West Africa time
Official certificate — RodiumAi Bootcamp attestation at the end

Why join this bootcamp?
Completely free. No training fees. Your only investment is motivation, availability, and seriousness.
100% online. Join from anywhere in West Africa. Evening sessions fit students and working professionals.
Practitioner experts. Trainers work with AI in industry daily. What you learn applies immediately to real projects.
Concrete projects. Every module ends with a practical assignment. The program concludes with a product you can present.
Engaged community. Join a network of AI enthusiasts across Africa — mutual help, shared resources, and career opportunities.
Official certification. Receive a RodiumAi certificate validating your AI skills at the end of the program.
Who is it for?
The program is open to motivated people based in West Africa, with or without prior AI experience.
It is a strong fit if you are:
A student in computer science, mathematics, or sciences — curiosity for tech is your best asset
A developer who wants to integrate AI into your apps, whatever your current level
An entrepreneur building solutions for the African market and wanting to accelerate with AI
A builder who wants to collaborate with other African developers on real AI products
You do not need to be an AI expert already. You need consistency and a clear motivation to grow a career in AI.
Eligibility criteria
Four conditions to join the cohort. Simple, clear, non-negotiable:
Have a RodiumAi account — an active account on rodiumai.io is required. Create one before you apply.
Have already used the RodiumAi platform — you must have topped up your account and made at least one real usage (API request / consumption).
Be available for the full 12 weeks — unjustified absence can disqualify you. The program requires presence at the weekly live session and submission of each week's deliverable.
Show motivation for an AI career — your application should reflect a concrete ambition.
Tip: Before applying, create your account, recharge a small RODI balance via Mobile Money, and run your first model request. Applicants who already know the product are better prepared for week 1.
