Professional Word Training in Thiès, Senegal: Price and Certificate 2026

The verdict in three sentences

In Thiès, Word proficiency remains the most tested skill when hiring an assistant, a secretary or an administrative officer. Kolonell's online Professional Word course at 50,000 FCFA (about 76 EUR) for 10 hours costs less than a local classroom course and leaves you with reusable deliverables: CV, template letter, report with a table of contents. With two or three documents written for others each month, the investment pays for itself in a few weeks.

How much does Word training cost in Thiès in 2026

Thiès has several office software centres around the station, Mbour 1 and Iba Der Thiam University. Prices are close to Dakar's, often with a fixed session calendar. Here is the 2026 order of magnitude for the real options.

The gap is not only about price. A classroom course in Thiès imposes fixed hours, hard to keep for a secretary already in a job or a student on an internship. The Professional Word course: CVs, reports and documents that inspire confidence, taught in French, is followed on a computer with Microsoft 365 Word or free Word online, and each module produces a document you keep.

What you actually learn and what it earns

The difference between a "typed" document and a professional one lies in styles, sections, tabs and templates. A 20-page report without an automatic table of contents takes twice as long to correct. The table below follows the concrete outlets in Thiès in 2026.

These amounts are estimates: they vary with the employer and your network. They still show that in Thiès, with university students and the many traders of the central market, demand for clean documents exists all year round, peaking at the end of the academic year.

Word is level 2 of the Office and productivity track, which chains five courses from first computer use up to the executive assistant job. The full track costs 350,000 FCFA instead of 450,000 FCFA when buying levels separately.

Mini case study

Fatou, 23, a management graduate in Thiès, is looking for a first assistant job. She pays the 50,000 FCFA Word course with Wave. In three weeks she rebuilds her CV and letterhead, then offers thesis formatting at 12,000 FCFA and CVs at 6,000 FCFA around the university.

First month: 3 theses (36,000 FCFA) and 4 CVs (24,000 FCFA), i.e. 60,000 FCFA (about 91 EUR). The course is paid back in just over three weeks. Two months later she lands an administrative assistant job at 180,000 FCFA a month, where her template letter and report template served as proof during the interview. These figures are an illustration, not a promise.
