The application takes real work, by our reading.

[ ] 18 or over
[ ] resident in an African country

2. WHAT TO GET READY
It asks for something outside the usual documents; read it below.
In their words: "An online application form on TEFConnect with personal details, your business idea and experience, a business assessment test and a declaration. You upload a valid government ID showing your date of birth and photo, plus a clear headshot."

3. DATES
- Opens 1 January 2027. You cannot apply before then.
- Closes 1 March 2027, in 130 days.
- Aim to send it by 26 February 2027. 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
