Microsoft Word training in Thiès: CVs, reports and professional documents (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

In Thiès, a 40-page internship report typed at a cybercafé costs 20,000 to 40,000 FCFA, before any corrections. Mastering Word in 10 hours for 50,000 FCFA lets you produce your own CVs, reports and letters in the format companies and public offices expect. For a secretary or an intern, it is also the skill recruiters check first in a practical test.

What not mastering Word costs you today

Around Iba Der Thiam University, ISEP and the vocational schools, cybercafés make part of their living from typing and formatting. That is handy the night before a deadline, but it adds up over a year and leaves you dependent for every correction your supervisor asks for. Same logic for CVs: a "written" CV bought for 5,000 to 15,000 FCFA often looks like every other candidate's and cannot be adapted to each offer.

What the Professional Word course teaches you

The course Professional Word: CVs, reports and documents that inspire trust, taught in French, is level 2 of the Office track, beginner category: 50,000 FCFA (about 76 EUR), 10 hours of guided online work, verifiable certificate. The heart of the programme is styles: once understood, they let you change the entire layout of a report in seconds and generate an accurate table of contents.

Comparing Word training options in Thiès

For a junior secretary job in Thiès, pay is around 120,000 to 200,000 FCFA per month depending on the employer (2026 order of magnitude). Recruiters at SMEs, firms and public offices often run a short test: format a letter or a table in 20 minutes. Arriving with a certificate and a flawless CV makes the difference.

Mini case study

Mamadou, 23, a business management undergraduate in Thiès, has to hand in a 45-page internship report and apply to about ten offers. At the cybercafé, typing and formatting would cost him about 30,000 FCFA, plus 10,000 FCFA for two tailored CVs and 8,000 FCFA for corrections: 48,000 FCFA. He chooses the 50,000 FCFA course, so the cost is roughly equal on this first report alone. He then rewrites his own CV for each offer, offers dissertation formatting at 15,000 FCFA to two classmates and earns back 30,000 FCFA in a month. These are 2026 orders of magnitude: side income depends on your network.
