Word skills are required in almost every secretarial and assistant job posting in Dakar and Abidjan. They also open the door to extra income: formatting theses, reports or CVs, usually billed at 5,000 to 15,000 FCFA (about $8 to $25) for a CV and 1,000 to 2,500 FCFA (about $1.70 to $4) per page for a thesis or report (rates seen in Dakar in 2026, depending on complexity and clientele).
Indicative estimate, depending on your market, pace and work. No income is guaranteed.
Who it is for: Assistants, secretaries, administrative staff, job seekers, final-year students, entrepreneurs and SME managers who write letters, quotes, reports or CVs and want a professional result without spending hours on it.

For most exercises, yes. A few features (advanced section breaks, .dotx templates, some table of contents options) are more complete in the desktop app: each lesson shows the alternative whenever this applies.
If you still line things up with the space bar, bold your headings by hand or rebuild your table of contents after every edit, yes. Module 3 on styles alone will change the way you work.
About ten hours: roughly 5.5 hours of lessons, the exercises after each lesson and two projects (one hour for the letterhead, an hour and a half for the final report). With three sessions a week, you finish in three to four weeks.
The CV lesson presents the format expected in Dakar and Abidjan, then the adjustments for an application in France, Canada or an international organization (photo, age, length).
Yes, a Kolonell Academy certificate that can be verified online, once you pass the quizzes of all five modules and your two projects are approved.
Level 3, Practical Excel, for tables, calculations and analysis. Together, Word and Excel cover most office work.
