THE BENEFICIARIES FUND. THE CBA BOOTCAMPS

BENEFICIARIES FUND. CREATIVE BUSINESS ACADEMY FOR AFRICA . 2027

THE CBA BOOTCAMPS

Short, affordable, online bootcamps running across November and December 2026 — and the only route to a Beneficiaries Fund scholarship. Take the classes, sit the tests, and climb the rankings. The more bootcamps and tests you take, the higher your score.

HOW IT WORKS

EVERY BOOTCAMP ENDS IN A TEST, YOUR SCORES ADD UP

There’s nothing subjective to it — each bootcamp is assessed by one graded test, and your test scores accumulate into a single cumulative score and a live rank. Take more bootcamps and your score can only go up.
