A 4-week hands-on programme that teaches Form 4 leavers AI, design and modern digital tools, so they start university ahead.
SmartStart is paused for now.We're not taking enrolments at the moment.
Form 4 leavers can use the months before university to build digital and AI skills. Instead of letting the break drift by, students can learn prompt engineering, research habits, design tools and business basics, and walk into first year with a real academic and professional head start.

An old Microsoft Word certificate used to show a student could handle a computer. AI now does much of that work, so what counts is AI literacy, collaboration tools and confidence online.
The months between Form 4 and university are the best time to get ahead. Skills build on each other quickly when students start early.
From the first week on campus, your child will be expected to present, research, work in online groups and use design tools. With SmartStart, they'll have done it all before.
Workplaces are changing the same way. If you also manage a team at work, FuKazee's corporate AI training teaches staff the same skills SmartStart teaches school leavers, applied to their real work.

Yes. Monday to Thursday sessions are online. Fridays have a virtual option too, but we strongly recommend coming in person when possible, because the exposure and networking are a big part of the value.
Yes. Sessions are interactive and assignment-driven, with no passive lecturing. Students practise as they learn, and the physical Friday sessions take it further.
Yes. Students who complete the programme and their assignments receive a FuKazee certificate.
Week 1 may feel like revision for some, but Weeks 2 to 4 go much deeper into AI, prompt engineering, design, business thinking and entrepreneurship. That's where most students speed up.
Computer packages mostly teach how old software works. SmartStart teaches AI, design, digital communication, research habits and practical building skills. It's computer literacy for 2026.
Not at the moment. SmartStart is paused and we're not taking enrolments. Send us a WhatsApp message and we'll let you know if it reopens. When it ran, cohorts were capped at 15 students so feedback stayed personal.
A laptop or smartphone with internet access. The software we use is free, or has a free version that works for the training.
Rodney Maina, founder of FuKazee, leads the programme. Guest facilitators come in where their experience helps students see bigger possibilities.
This is where the Friday sessions, exposure days and some meetings happened. Having a real place to come to is a big part of why SmartStart felt like more than an online class.
