You can learn AI in Nairobi in four main ways: free online courses, university courses, training providers that teach groups or teams, and one-to-one training with a private trainer. The right choice depends on whether you want to use AI or build it, how much time your real week allows, and whether you need a person to look at your own work. FuKazee, based in Westlands, offers one-to-one training for working professionals, the live online ScholarShift Accelerator for postgraduates, and on-site training for teams.
TL;DR:
- Want to use AI at work? A short course or one-to-one training is enough. Want to build AI systems? Look at longer, technical study that includes programming.
- Test your real week first. Traffic, overtime and family duties decide whether you will actually attend.
- Free online courses are a good start. Paid live training helps when you want someone to correct your work and answer your questions.
- FuKazee has no walk-in school or public group class. One-to-one sessions are arranged with you, at HackHouse, 124 Manyani East Road, Westlands, or live online.

Your four options in Nairobi
Every option below can be the right one. They suit different people.
| Option | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Free online courses | Complete beginners who want the basics at no cost, at their own pace | Nobody sees your work or answers your questions; some charge for the certificate |
| University courses | People who want a formal qualification, or a technical career in AI | Degrees take years; technical courses expect maths and programming |
| Training providers (group or team) | People who learn best in a class, and employers training several staff | Class times, travel across the city and group size |
| One-to-one training | Busy professionals, executives and business owners who want to work on their own tasks | You pay for one person's time, so ask for a clear quote; quality depends on the trainer |
For free options, see our checked list of free AI courses in Kenya. If you are starting from zero, our AI course for beginners page shows how to begin by yourself this week.
How to choose: seven questions
Ask every provider these before you pay, including us.
- Do I want to use AI or build it? Most office workers, teachers and business owners need to use AI well. That needs clear instructions and careful checking, not coding.
- Can I reach the class on a normal weekday? Ask for the exact building and the time a session really ends. A class you attend twice and then miss teaches less than a live online one you never skip.
- What level does it expect? Classes for office workers usually ask only for basic computer skills. Anything on machine learning will expect Python and some maths.
- Will I work on my own tasks? You learn faster on your real reports, messages and spreadsheets, with private details masked.
- What happens if I miss a session? Ask whether sessions are recorded and whether you can catch up.
- How many people share one trainer? You need time to get your own questions answered.
- Are the promises honest? Walk away from anyone who guarantees a job, an income or expertise in a few days.

A Kenyan check for university courses: the Commission for University Education (CUE) keeps an up-to-date list of institutions authorised to offer university-level education in Kenya (checked 14 November 2026). If a course is sold as a university qualification, check the institution on that list.
What FuKazee offers in Nairobi
FuKazee is a training company, not a walk-in school. Everything below comes from our live pages, checked on 14 November 2026.
One-to-one AI training (for working professionals)
| What you need to know | The answer |
|---|---|
| Who it is for | Professionals, directors, business owners and complete beginners who want private help on their own work |
| Where | At HackHouse, 124 Manyani East Road, Westlands, near ABC Place, or live online from anywhere |
| When | Agreed with you, around your working day |
| Who teaches | FuKazee's founder, Rodney Maina, teaches private clients as well as company groups. Ask on WhatsApp who will take your sessions |
| Length | No fixed course. Some people want one session on one problem; others prefer regular sessions over several weeks |
| What to bring | A laptop if you have one, and two or three real tasks, with sensitive details masked |
| Fees | Quoted after we hear what you want to achieve. Ask on WhatsApp |
Common starting points include quotes and customer replies for business owners, board papers and long reports for directors, a monthly Excel report worked through on a masked copy, and building a reusable AI assistant in the tool you prefer. One business owner's review on our reviews page describes about four weeks of one-to-one work with Rodney. Your time may be shorter or longer. Full details are on the one-to-one AI training page.
ScholarShift Accelerator (for Masters and PhD students)
- A four-week programme on using AI for research and writing without compromising academic integrity.
- Live classes on Google Meet, Monday to Thursday, 8:00 to 9:30 pm. Every session is recorded and stays available for one year.
- Weekend sessions in person at 124 Manyani East Road, with a virtual session in parallel for people outside Nairobi.
- The fee shown on the live page on 14 November 2026 is KSh 20,000, or a KSh 10,000 deposit with the balance midway.
- Our ScholarShift Accelerator page says the next cohort is planned for late January or February 2027, once university exam dates are known. Confirm the date with us on WhatsApp.
See the ScholarShift Accelerator page.
Training for teams
If several colleagues need the same skills, your employer can book training. FuKazee trains at your office, a venue you choose, or our base in Westlands. We plan around groups of up to about 20, in half-day kick-offs, one or two-day workshops, or several weeks of sessions. The price is quoted in KES once we understand your scope. See AI training in Nairobi, and for planning help read how a Nairobi company should train its staff on AI.
How to book with FuKazee
- Message us. WhatsApp is fastest. You can also call +254 114 469 840 or email lead@fukazee.com. The contact page has all three.
- Tell us three things: your work, what you want AI to help with, and the days and times that suit you.
- Expect a reply, usually within the hour on weekdays. A real person answers.
- Agree a plan. For one-to-one training, the plan and fee are agreed after that conversation. Nothing is fixed until we have spoken.
- Do not just walk in. We are open Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00, by appointment. Call or WhatsApp before you come so we can guide you in.
For the ScholarShift Accelerator, you can pay online by card or M-PESA prompt through Paystack, get an email receipt, and we confirm your place on WhatsApp with the timetable, Google Meet link and session plan.
What happens after you start
- You work on your own tasks from the first session, with private details masked.
- You see the free version of each tool first. We have no single product to push, and if your employer provides Microsoft 365, we include Copilot.
- We assume you know nothing about AI, avoid jargon and go at your pace.
- Real skill comes from using AI between sessions. Nobody becomes an expert in a few days.
The proof we can show
- More than 3,000 people trained since 2022.
- 4.9 on Google from 38 reviews, as shown on our reviews page on 14 November 2026.
- Published recommendation letters from organisations we have trained or built programmes for, on the same page.
We believe one-to-one, task-based training is the fastest way for a busy Nairobi professional to become confident with AI. That is our view. Read the reviews and judge for yourself.
When FuKazee may not be the right fit
- You want a walk-in group class. We do not run a public group beginners' class right now.
- You want to build AI models. Our training is for people who use AI in their work, not for machine learning engineering.
- You need a university qualification. We are a training company, not a university.
- Your employer needs NITA-accredited training. FuKazee is not yet NITA accredited. Ask us for the current status.
Questions people ask
Is there an AI school in Nairobi I can walk into?
Universities and training providers teach AI in Nairobi, but FuKazee is not a walk-in school. We arrange one-to-one sessions and team training directly with the people who need them. Message us before you come.
Where is FuKazee in Nairobi?
At HackHouse, 124 Manyani East Road, near ABC Place, Westlands. It is our only base. Sessions happen by arrangement.
How much does one-to-one AI training cost at FuKazee?
The live page does not list a fixed fee. Tell us what you want to achieve on WhatsApp and we will give you a sensible answer.
Can I learn AI online from Nairobi after work?
Yes. One-to-one sessions can run live online at times you agree. The ScholarShift Accelerator for postgraduates runs on weekday evenings on Google Meet, with recordings.
Do I need a laptop?
A laptop helps a lot with Excel and long documents. A smartphone is fine for trying free AI tools. Ask any provider what the class needs before you pay.
Can my company pay for my private sessions?
Yes. A company can arrange one-to-one sessions for one person. If more than a few people need the same thing, a group session may suit them better.
