CBA for Africa 2027 runs across three Schools — Music, Film and Fashion Business — on a “2 + 3 + 5” model: two months of specialised craft, three months of a shared Integrated Core (ventures, finance, IP, data, AI, pan-African trade), and five months of execution. Ten months, combining self-paced LMS classes through the week with live weekend sessions led by industry experts.
Every student joins one of twelve permanent Houses, each a fully-staffed enterprise running twelve departments. At the halfway point, Houses merge into groups that develop one Artist, one Director and one Designer, judged weekly on a public leaderboard. The year closes with a July public release and the AMEDI Festival showcase in December 2027 — runway, screening, live performance and a corporate recruitment drive.
