Tobby Vision Computers

Our Story

We are Tobby Vision Computers Vocational Training Institute located in Bambui, in the North-West Region of Cameroon. The institute was founded on the 9th of February 2002 with a vision to train with practical skills and improve the lives of students and their families and with mission to boost high quality practical technological education for employment and poverty alleviation. Since 2012 we are officially reconnized by the Ministry of Education.
From 2012 to 2018 the institute has enrolled and trained 722 students in technical skills necessary to become successful in its different departments namely; Administrative Assistants, Graphic & Web Designers, Computerised Accounting, Computer Maintenance and Repairs, Computer Programming, Entrepreneurship.
We were awarded with a certificate of recognition as the best model Technical, Vocational Education Training Center for the 21st Century in Africa by the African Union Commission. Additionally we won the best training institute award of the year in 2016 from the national
media in Cameroon despite the limited equipment and uncomfortable school premises.
Now we are looking to take the next development step. In August and September 2017, we have had various workshops to develop out strategy and resulting projects, this process was facilitated with the support of Olaf Seidel, A&O Business Enablement who kindly donated his time.
We identified various areas in which we would like to further professionalize and grow to be able to teach and train more students in more subjects. The to be developed departments are Agriculture, Woodworks, Autorepairs, Fashion Design and Clothing.
Despite a very promising business case, mainly due to the lack of suitable funding options in Cameroon we currently aim to do this in a step b step approach involving different financing models and stakeholders.
We are looking for partners and support, to provide funds and/or equipment, for the construction of a modern campus, digital as well as workshop practice equipment to enable better hands on training.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Cornelius and the Tobby Vision Computers Team
