FAQ

Your Questions, Answered

We get it — if something sounds too good to be true, you want to know the details. Here they are.

Is it really free?

Yes. Forever. No catch. No premium tier. No ads. Baobab is funded so that you never have to pay.

Do I need good internet?

No. Baobab works on basic smartphones with low data. We're also building offline mode so you can keep learning even without a connection.

What if I dropped out of school?

Perfect. Baobab meets you where you are, not where you "should" be. Whether you left school last month or five years ago, your learning path starts from you.

What language?

We're building support for multiple African languages. English first, expanding fast. Our goal is for you to learn in the language that feels like home.

Will I get a real qualification?

Yes. Baobab issues micro-credentials designed to align with the South African National Qualifications Framework (NQF). You'll also build a portfolio of real work — projects, code, analysis — that demonstrates what you can actually do. Our curriculum draws from MIT, Harvard, Khan Academy, OpenStax, and Siyavula, so your learning is backed by globally recognised content. Employers care about skills, not seat time.
