Can I study at ADMI with only S3 (O-Level)?
Yes. If you hold an S3 Certificate (O-Level) or equivalent, you qualify for our 4-month full-time Professional Certificate programmes in AI Adoption and 2D Animation. These build core skills and can qualify you for direct entry into a diploma programme.
Can I study at ADMI without completing secondary school?
Yes. Our part-time evening and weekend Professional Certificate programmes in Video Production, Graphic Design, Digital Marketing, and Data Analytics have no academic entry requirement. They are designed for working professionals and anyone with the drive to build creative skills.

Are ADMI qualifications recognised?

This means your qualification meets Kenyan national standards (TVETA) and carries ECTS credits designed for portability across European higher education systems, subject to receiving institution policies.
Is ADMI better than university for creative careers?
ADMI offers a different approach to university — hands-on, industry-focused training with mandatory internships and small class sizes (max 25 students). Our 88% employment rate within 6 months of graduation speaks to the outcomes.
How do I apply from Rwanda?
Apply online at apply.admi.africa — the process takes about 10 minutes. As a Rwandan citizen, you benefit from EAC visa-free travel and do not need a visa to enter Kenya for your studies. Our admissions team can guide you through the enrolment process and help with any relocation questions.
