Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
A short application, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] a Fest near you, or join online

2. WHAT TO GET READY
We read their page on 25 September 2026 and it names no documents. Expect an online form; note anything it asks for as you go.

3. DATES
- Closes 31 October 2026, in 9 days.
- Aim to send it by 28 October 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
