Africa's first professional data annotation academy. Learn the skills that power every AI model — from text classification and RLHF to image labeling and audio transcription — and earn a certificate that connects you to paid work with global AI labs.
Every AI model — from ChatGPT to self-driving cars — was taught by humans who labeled millions of data points. That work is well-paid, remote-friendly, and in massive global demand. But most Africans have no way to access it.
AI labs need 500,000+ trained annotators by 2027. Africa has the talent, the languages, and the time zones — but no credential pathway into the work.
Global AI labs can't just hire anyone. They need credentialed professionals with verified training, proven quality, and clear NDA frameworks.
Certified annotators earn $200–$800/month working remotely on AI projects — often more than local full-time wages, and in hard currency.
Our curriculum is built from real production workflows used on live client projects. You'll learn the same tools, standards, and quality systems our paid annotators use every day.
Free intro course covers what data annotation is, why it matters, and the different annotation types. No commitment required.
Full curriculum across 12 modules — text, image, audio, video, RLHF, and quality control. Work at your own pace, finish in 2–3 weeks.
A proctored 168-question assessment tests your judgment, accuracy, and understanding of edge cases. Pass at 80% or above.

The curriculum mirrors the exact annotation types our paying clients request. You'll learn text, image, audio, video, document, RLHF, and multimodal annotation — plus the quality control systems that separate amateurs from professionals.
What annotation is, who pays for it, and how the AI training pipeline works.
Single and multi-label classification, sentiment analysis, content moderation.
Extracting names, places, dates, and domain-specific entities from text.
How human feedback trains frontier LLMs — the highest-paid annotation skill.
Categorizing images for medical, retail, and content moderation use cases.
The core of computer vision — drawing precise boxes and outlines around objects.
Placing dots at anatomical or object landmarks for pose estimation.
Tagging headers, tables, and form fields for OCR and document AI systems.
Typing what you hear — including African language transcription and dialect variation.
Tagging actions within video segments for sports, surgery, and manufacturing AI.
Gold questions, consensus QC, inter-annotator agreement — the professional standard.
Mock exams, edge-case practice, and final review before your proctored assessment.

Every lesson comes from real client projects we've delivered. You'll learn the same workflows our paid annotators use.

Ask questions, get feedback, and join a community of learners and working annotators. You're not alone.
Data annotation is one of the few remote, digital, well-paid careers accessible from anywhere in Africa. Here's what our certified annotators earn on live client projects.
I completed the program in three weeks. Two weeks later I was on a real RLHF project earning more than my previous full-time job. The certificate genuinely opened doors.
I was skeptical at first. But the quality control lessons alone were worth it — I've never seen annotation training this rigorous. This is what "professional" actually means.
The African language modules are what set this apart. I use Bemba every day now, and the demand from global clients is real. There's nothing else like this on the continent.
No subscriptions. No hidden costs. Pay once, learn everything, and keep your certificate for life.
