Who we are
ResourcePrime Academy is a workforce development platform dedicated to strengthening technical and operational capacity across Africa’s energy, extractives, infrastructure, and climate sectors.
We believe that successful projects depend on capable people. While technology and investment continue to advance, many organizations still face critical skills gaps that impact operational performance, compliance, and long-term project success.
Through structured, industry-led certification programmes delivered in English and French, we help professionals and organizations build the practical knowledge needed to operate, manage, and grow complex projects. From SCADA and CMMS systems to ESG, project finance, and sustainability training, our programmes are designed to bridge the gap between industry requirements and workforce capability. Our goal is simple: equip professionals with the skills their projects require and the expertise their careers deserve.
