This document must be read together with the Wadata Master Terms of Use and all applicable Annexes.
READ THIS FIRST — These Wadata Learn Terms supplement the Wadata Master Terms of Use. By accessing or using Wadata Learn, you agree to both documents. In the event of any conflict, this Terms prevails for Wadata Learn-specific matters. All defined terms have the same meanings as in the Master Terms.
Wadata Learn is a digital learning and skilling platform that provides training, certification, and capacity-building programmes in areas including data collection, data, digital and AI skills, and related fields to support participation in the Wadata ecosystem and broader data, digital and green economy. Wadata Learn is a learning platform only and does not guarantee employment, income, or marketplace participation. The Wadata Learn Platform is powered by Tectona Group and is accessible at https://learn.wadata.africa/ and is a separate platform from the Wadata marketplace.
IMPORTANT — NO GUARANTEE OF MARKETPLACE OUTCOMES
Completion of any training or certification on Wadata Learn may enhance your eligibility for opportunities on the Wadata marketplace but does not guarantee selection, job placement, paid work, project assignment, or any level of income.
Eligibility for participation in marketplace opportunities is subject to multiple factors, including but not limited to successful Data Champ verification, compliance with Platform requirements, individual performance, client demand, and project availability.
Nothing in Wadata Learn or these Terms shall be construed as creating any obligation on Tectona Group to provide work, assignments, or income opportunities.
Wadata Learn offers a range of programme types, including:
Mandatory foundational courses covering core data collection, data and digital skills required for participation on the Platform. Completion may attract designated CLP Points.
In-depth, sector-specific training programmes designed to build specialised competencies. Access may be subject to eligibility requirements and/or payment of applicable fees.
Structured learning pathways comprising multiple modules and assessments, culminating in a Certificate of Completion, digital badge, or other form of verification.
Required training modules that must be completed by Data Champs prior to accessing or participating in marketplace opportunities.
Ongoing training, refresher courses, or update modules that may be required from time to time to maintain skills, compliance, and continued eligibility for participation in the Wadata marketplace.
Access to courses on Wadata Learn may be provided on a free, subsidised, sponsored, or paid basis, depending on the nature of the programme, funding arrangements, or partnerships in place.

To enrol in a course, you may be required to: create and maintain an active user account; provide accurate and complete information; meet specified eligibility or prerequisite requirements; complete any application, screening, or onboarding process; and pay applicable fees where required.
Enrolment is confirmed only upon acceptance by the Platform or, where applicable, upon successful payment or approval. We reserve the right to accept, decline, or revoke enrolment at its discretion.
Access to certain courses or progression pathways may require identity verification or submission of supporting information. Failure to complete verification requirements may result in restricted access or ineligibility for certain opportunities. We may suspend or revoke access where you no longer meet eligibility requirements, provide false information, fail to comply with these Terms, or continued participation poses a risk to the Platform or other Users.
Access to any course or programme on Wadata Learn is granted for a specified period as determined by Tectona Group and communicated on the Platform at the time of enrolment.

Where fees are applicable, payment must be made in full prior to accessing the course or programme, unless otherwise stated. Payments shall be made through the methods made available on the Platform. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of payment services and shall not be responsible for delays or failures caused by third-party payment providers.
For Paid Courses, unless expressly stated otherwise, all fees paid are non-refundable. We may, at our sole discretion, provide refunds in exceptional circumstances.
