LMS for Kenya institutions — bilingual, accredited, regionally-resident
Kenya is East Africa's largest higher-education market with 71 licensed universities and 800+ TVET institutions. The Commission for University Education (CUE) mandates blended and e-learning components in programme accreditation, and the government's Digital Superhighway and Last Mile Connectivity projects are extending reliable internet to campuses outside Nairobi and Mombasa. DeepTech deploys from AWS Cape Town (af-south-1) for low-latency access and keeps personal data in-region to comply with Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019, overseen by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC).
Built for how Kenya institutions actually run
CUE e-learning accreditation ready
DeepTech's SCORM-compliant content delivery, attendance logs, and outcome-attainment tracking align with the CUE blended-learning guidelines for programme accreditation.
M-Pesa payments built in
Kenyan students and institutions pay via M-Pesa, Pesalink, or USD SWIFT. GST/VAT-compliant invoices are issued in KES for local procurement.
Low-bandwidth mode for upcountry campuses
Adaptive video streaming (down to 144p), offline PWA caching, and lightweight HTML assessments keep the platform accessible on the mobile broadband connections typical outside Nairobi.
Data residency under Kenya DPA 2019
All learner data, course content, and audit logs are stored in AWS Cape Town. Cross-border transfers comply with ODPC guidelines and the Africa-regional data-transfer frameworks Kenya has adopted.

Kenya institution questions
Where is my data stored if my institution is in Kenya?
Default deployments use AWS Cape Town (af-south-1) for Kenya customers. Cross-border data flows are restricted to the institutional admin's choice, with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit. Compliance frameworks supported: DPA 2019 / ODPC, CUE accreditation.
Can you invoice in KES?
Yes. Institutional invoicing in KES via SWIFT / wire transfer is standard. For learner-side payments where applicable, we support card processors active in Kenya. The invoicing entity is APQOR Technologies Private Limited.
Is a pilot possible for an institution in Kenya?
Yes — a 30-day no-cost pilot with a branded portal, up to 250 learner accounts, and full feature access. Most Kenya pilots run remotely with weekly working sessions; on-site sessions are available for ministry-level engagements.
Does the platform support Swahili as a language of instruction?
Yes. Course content can be authored or auto-translated into Swahili using DeepTech's 60+ language translation layer. Assessment instructions and UI strings can also be localised to Swahili for student-facing interfaces.
Can TVET colleges use the platform, not just universities?
Yes. DeepTech serves TVET institutions with practical competency-based assessment modules, attendance tracking for workshop sessions, and credentials mapped to KNQA qualification levels.
