Building Africa's Most

Our Story

From Classroom to Digital — Transforming African Professional Learning

Global Leadership Institute has been training Africa's professionals for over 20 years. Centre of Corporate Studies was established to take that same quality — the expert facilitators, the Africa-relevant content, the GLI standard — and deliver it online to every professional, anywhere on the continent.

We designed CCS knowing that Kenya's and Africa's working professionals need learning that fits their schedule, their budget and their mobile-first reality. Every course is designed to be completed on a smartphone, paid for by M-Pesa, and applied immediately at work.

Our 130+ courses are developed by the same expert facilitators who deliver GLI's acclaimed in-house training programs — people with 15–25 years of real industry experience in Kenya and across Africa.
