Common Questions
About the Programme
The Clemios Academy is a structured engineering training programme that prepares high-potential graduates for careers in IT and embedded systems. The programme is delivered by a consortium led by adorsys and Clemios, with academic partnership from Université des Montagnes.
adorsys is a German technology company and the lead training partner for the programme. Clemios is the operations manager and co-training partner, responsible for the Embedded Software Development track. Both companies, along with other German and Cameroonian industry partners, form the training consortium.
The programme duration has been refined based on real outcomes. Cohort 1 ran for 12 months. After observing that graduates needed more preparation time before working on real-world projects, Cohort 2 was extended to 18 months. Cohort 3 retains the 18-month training structure and adds a 6-month managed internship with consortium partners, for a planned total of 24 months.
The foundational curriculum covers Cloud Computing, DevOps, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, Agile Methodologies, and Professional Technical English. Advanced specialisations include Embedded Software Development, AI-Assisted Development, Rust Programming, Blockchain Applications, Data Science and MLOps, and Ethics and AI Safety.
Each trainee earns a minimum of 4 international certifications from providers including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and LPI (Linux). All certification costs are financed by employer partners.
Eligibility and Application
Anglophone applicants need a GCE A-Level with B in at least 4 science subjects. Francophone applicants need a Baccalauréat C, D, E, or TIC with at least 14.00 in Mathematics, excellent English, and overall “Mention Bien.” Age requirements: 17–21 for A-Level graduates, 22–23 for university students, up to 24 for bachelor degree holders.
No. The programme is designed for high-school graduates. University students and bachelor holders may also apply within the specified age ranges.
Certified transcripts (GCE O/L, Lower-Sixth, Upper-Sixth or Baccalauréat equivalent) in PDF format, a scanned national ID or passport, and a one-page motivation letter in PDF format.
Applications are opening soon. Visit the application page to register your interest and be notified when the form is available.
Benefits and Support
Yes. Housing, meals, health insurance, laptops, and all certification costs are fully funded by employer partners. Trainees pay nothing.
Training centres in Bangangte, West Region, Cameroon. All centres are equipped with IT infrastructure and powered by hybrid solar systems.
No. Laptops are provided by employer partners for the duration of the programme. The laptops remain company property.
After the Programme
Cohort 3 graduates will enter a 6-month managed internship with a consortium partner. Internships are planned to be guaranteed for every graduate. Following the internship, partner companies plan to offer permanent employment.
The GIS diploma is the professional credential awarded after completing the 18-month training and earning 4 certifications. The diploma converts to academic credit points at Université des Montagnes, enabling graduates to pursue a dual bachelor degree via distance learning.
Cohort 1 and 2 trained 49 engineers with a 100% employment rate. Only 1 trainee out of 50 enrolled did not complete the programme. All graduates transitioned to full employment by March 2026.
