WHAT TO GET READY The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start. 3. DATES - Closes 26 October 2026, in 4 days. - Aim to send it by 23 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
