About Us – Simplified AI School (SAS)

Empowering Africa with Practical, Hands-On AI Education

SAS was founded in April 2024 by our current CEO Leoni Finya Funfe who is also the founder and CEO of Maimo.cm (Cameroon's fastest growing homemade furniture manufacturing company).

At Simplified AI School (SAS), we are on a mission to make artificial intelligence easy, accessible, and practical for everyone—from students and teachers to professionals and entrepreneurs. Our goal is clear: to demystify AI and equip people with the tools they need to succeed in an AI-driven world.

Founded in Cameroon and expanding across Africa, SAS is not just another tech training platform. We are an innovation hub, an education center, and a transformation engine built for Africans by Africans. Whether you're a university student, business leader, educator, or complete beginner, SAS provides a clear, simplified path to understanding and applying AI to real-life problems.

Why Simplified AI School Exists

Artificial Intelligence is changing the world. From automating daily tasks to reshaping industries, AI is no longer optional — it’s essential. Yet, for many in Africa, AI remains a mystery. There’s a wide knowledge gap and a fear that AI will take away jobs or replace creativity.

At SAS, we’re breaking those myths. We believe that when properly trained, people will not lose jobs to AI — they’ll use AI to create more jobs. Our courses are designed to remove fear, spark curiosity, and build competence.

We exist to:

Make AI understandable and practical
Bring affordable and accessible AI education to Africa
Empower individuals to create, automate, and innovate
Prepare the workforce for the future of work
Promote African innovation in global AI conversations

What Makes SAS Different?

Unlike many AI programs that are abstract or overly technical, SAS focuses on real-world applications, step-by-step training, and instant implementation.

✅ Beginner-Friendly

You don’t need a tech background. We assume zero prior knowledge and build you up with clear examples and interactive sessions.

✅ Practical Learning Over Theory

Our training is hands-on. By the end of a course, students walk away with completed AI projects — books, graphics, websites, videos, and more.

✅ Certified & Recognized

SAS courses are monitored by Biaka University in Cameroon, which offers internationally recognized certificates that boost credibility in the job market.

✅ Built for Africans

We use culturally relevant examples, African visuals, and scenarios that reflect local challenges, business needs, and opportunities.
