  • Send professional email, with attachments
  • Find what you need on the internet, safely
  • Use government services online without waiting for help

In-Person — how it runs

Schedule

2 hours a day, 6 days a week, as a fixed cohort. Choose morning, afternoon, or evening at enrollment.

What you need

Nothing. Computers are provided in the training room.

Next cohort

Start date and seats are shared when you apply — we reply on WhatsApp.

Fee: quote on application. Tuition is the same In-Person and Online. Applying is free.

A certificate any employer can verify in 5 seconds

It certifies you completed 144 hours and met the assessment. Every certificate carries a QR code that resolves at sinika.rw/verify. The In-Person and Online certificates are identical — an employer sees a SINIKA certificate, not an “online” one.

The full curriculum

8 modules. Open any one to see what it covers.

The computer, from zero

Switching on, the mouse, the keyboard, files and folders. No step skipped.

Typing that keeps up with you

Daily practice until the keyboard stops slowing you down.

Word: documents done properly

Letters, CVs, and reports formatted the way employers expect.

Excel: spreadsheets that track money

Lists, sums, and simple budgets you can actually use.

PowerPoint: say it with slides

A clear presentation from a blank page.

Email, done professionally

Write, reply, attach, and organize a real inbox.

The internet, safely

Search well, judge what you find, avoid the traps.

Government services online

Irembo and other official portals, step by step.

Questions about this course

What is the difference between In-Person and Online?

Where you sit, nothing else. In-Person runs in our training room in Kabarondo with computers provided. Online follows the same cohort calendar and the same hours from your own phone or computer. The certificate is identical — an employer scanning the QR sees a SINIKA certificate, not an “online” one.

How much does it cost?

You get a fee quote when we reply to your application. Applying is free, and you pay nothing until you are accepted and you agree to the fee.

Do I need my own laptop?

In-Person: no — computers are provided in the training room. Online: you need a phone or a computer and internet. We say this plainly because an online seat you cannot attend helps no one.
