The verdict in three sentences
A course-catalog showcase costs between 300,000 and 600,000 FCFA, and an enrollment and payment module adds about 500,000 FCFA, turning your site into a session-filling machine. Installment payment via Wave and Orange Money (1 to 1.5 % fees) removes the price barrier and cuts abandonment. A well-built session landing page converts 5 to 12 % of visitors: just 20 enrollments at 150,000 FCFA make the module profitable in a single campaign.
The modules of a training-center site
A good training site assembles four building blocks. You can start with the catalog, then add enrollment when volume justifies it.
| Module | Role | Extra cost (2026) | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Course catalog | Present programs and prices | Included in showcase | Credibility, SEO |
| Online enrollment | Capture the lead in 1 form | +200,000 FCFA | -50 % friction |
| Wave / OM payment | Collect deposit or full fee | +300,000 FCFA | Immediate conversion |
| Installment payment | Spread cost over 2 - 3 times | Included in module | -50 % abandonment |
| Student area | Materials, certificates, schedule | +250,000 FCFA | Loyalty |

Mini case study
Modou's center in Dakar sells a course at 150,000 FCFA. Its landing page draws 1,000 visitors per campaign; at 6 % paid conversion he gets 60 enrollments, i.e. 9,000,000 FCFA. By offering two-installment Wave payment, he lifts his rate from 6 to 9 %, adding 30 enrollments (4,500,000 FCFA) without spending one extra franc on ads. The enrollment module (500,000 FCFA) is paid off by the first full session.
