Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about enrollment, certificates, payments, and your account.

Getting Started

How do I create an account?

Click "Sign Up" in the top right of any page, enter your name, email, and a password. You can start browsing and enrolling in courses right away.

Is Ecampus Africa really free?

Yes. Every course is free to enroll in and complete. The only optional paid item is a verified certificate once you finish a course.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Ecampus Africa runs entirely in your browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile.

Courses & Enrollment

How do I enroll in a course?

Open any course page and click "Enroll for Free." If you're not logged in yet, you'll be asked to log in or create an account first.

Can I learn at my own pace?

Yes. There are no deadlines. Your progress is saved automatically, and you can pick up exactly where you left off.

How do I see the courses I'm enrolled in?

Log in and click "My Courses" from the account menu in the top navigation.

What is a Learning Journey?

A Journey is an ordered sequence of courses that builds toward a specific career outcome, rather than a single standalone course.

Certificates

How do I earn a certificate?

Complete every lesson in a course and pass its assessment. Once you're eligible, a "Get Certificate" option appears on the course page.

How much does a certificate cost?

The Ecampus Professional Certificate costs $25 (about UGX 95,000). This fee only applies once you choose to certify — the course itself is free.

Can I verify someone else's certificate?

Each issued certificate has a unique certificate number that can be used to confirm it was genuinely issued by Ecampus Africa.

Do I have to buy a certificate to keep learning?

No. You can complete as many free courses as you like without ever purchasing a certificate.

Payments

What payment methods do you accept?

MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, and card payments for certificate fees.

My payment didn't go through — what do I do?

Wait a few minutes in case of a delayed confirmation, then check your course page again. If it still hasn't updated, contact us with your payment reference.

Do you offer refunds on certificates?

If a certificate fee was charged in error, contact us and we'll review it individually.

Account & Login

I forgot my password. What now?

Use the "Log In" page and follow the password reset option, or contact support if you're still unable to get in.

Can I change the email on my account?

Yes — contact support with your current login email and the new one you'd like to use.

How do I delete my account?

Contact us and we'll process the deletion request along with removing your personal data, in line with our Privacy Policy.

Technical Issues

A lesson or SCORM module won't load.

Try refreshing the page on an up-to-date browser (Chrome or Edge work best). If the issue persists, contact us with the course name and what device you're using.

My course progress isn't saving.

Progress saves automatically as you complete each lesson. Make sure you're logged in — progress made while logged out isn't tracked to your account.

The site looks broken on my phone.

Try clearing your browser cache or switching browsers. Let us know the device and browser so we can look into it.
