Tanzania - a beautiful country blessed with many resources, including a very large and peace-loving population. However, we have constantly been termed as among the least-productive nations globally. While there are many factors to this, an area that is widely-accepted as among the primary reasons for lackluster performance of any country in the global economic landscape is lack of education and training. With a young and growing population, there is little doubt that Africa in general, and Tanzania in particular is the only continent that is still in developmental infancy with huge upside. To ensure we are not left grabbing straws, Tanzanians should take a lead in ensuring the progress of our country benefits citizens primarily. And education is key to this.

Emerson Education, while created with the aim of being a profitable education institute, believes it has a momentous role to play in the development of education and training beyond traditional schooling. From exposing kids as young as 5-years to the wonderful digital world, to adult-learners, and from internationally-accredited programs to pathways to Bachelor's and beyond - Emerson Education believes we can offer world-class education to learners at a fraction of the cost, right here at home - where the heart belongs.

We look forward to seeing you at Emerson Education, and we are excited to be a part of the future of Tanzania.

With the world shrinking and the digital space allowing any person globally to be a click or a message away, we need to, now more than ever, to ensure that the Tanzanian workforce is highly-skilled, productive and with a productive mindset to drive the next stage of development in our country.

Emerson Education strives to achieve this by providing globally-recognized education that puts careers on the path of success, especially in the field of Accounting, Business, and IT. In addition to this, we recognize that employers increasingly value skills in particular areas, rather than generalists in the workforce. With the range of shorter training from Institute of Commercial Management (UK) and International Computer Driver Licence, we help those already in the workforce to hone their skills in the various areas such as Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, HR & Leadership, to increase chances of advancement and greater impact in their work towards national development.

We continue to develop the training space in Tanzania and look forward to an ever-prospering Tanzania.
