Phones and slow connections first
Most learners will arrive on a phone, often on mobile data. Pages are planned to stay light and keep working when the connection is poor.
SkillPath Academy
An African-first platform for practical digital skills that we are building: conversational onboarding, booking, M-Pesa payment and live classes, designed for phones on slow connections.

The problem
Learners find short courses through WhatsApp, posters and referrals, then have to message someone to ask about schedules and prices, pay by M-Pesa, and wait for a person to confirm and send joining details. Every step is manual, and people drop off between them.
Done so far
- Product specification, user roles and a phased 90-day build plan
- Project tracking for the build inside AstraCore OS
Designed, not yet built
- Conversational onboarding that answers questions, recommends a course and books a session
- M-Pesa and PayPal checkout, with confirmation sent automatically
- Student dashboard with live classes, recordings, resources, certificates and progress
- Instructor tools for schedules, attendance and recordings, and an admin view with staff approval
- Reminders and confirmations over WhatsApp, Telegram and email
- Mobile-first pages kept light for low-bandwidth connections

Decisions worth explaining
Every manual step is a drop-off point
The plan targets the gaps between asking, paying and joining, because that is where people are lost today.
