Crafts.School × b54

Crafts.School is a technical training institution delivering intensive, hands-on programs that prepare students for careers in technology. b54 partners with Crafts.School to make these programs financially accessible — subsidizing tuition and offering scholarships so that talent, not money, determines who gets trained.

The partnership launched with Cohort 26.1, targeting a June 2026 intake. Programs run for 16 weeks full-time, with cohorts of 25 students maximum. Available in-person in Nairobi, Kenya or fully online for students in Nigeria.

Crafts.School provides the curriculum, instructors (working practitioners, not lecturers), and infrastructure. b54 provides funding, scholarships, and reach — making the cost as low as KES 25,000 (Kenya) or NGN 250,000 (Nigeria) after b54 Foundation scholarship.

What makes it different

• Taught by working practitioners, not career lecturers
• AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot) integrated from day one
• Real client projects — not simulated exercises
• Career support for 3 months post-graduation including interview prep and job referrals
