about learnstar

learnstar is an e-learning platform aimed at inspiring both current and future generations of creatives and professionals. It offers premium, distraction-free courses from top industry leaders, covering a variety of fields including business, entertainment, sports, and hospitality.
With a vast content library, learnstar focuses on delivering credible and standardized educational material.

the challenge

Many African creatives and professionals lack access to quality learning resources that provide both credible knowledge and practical skills. Existing e-learning platforms often suffer from distractions, lack of localized content, and a limited range of industry-relevant material.


This gap in accessible, high-quality education hinders the growth and development of individuals who aspire to succeed in their respective fields, as well as organizations looking to upskill their teams.

proffering solutions

learnstar should be designed to reflect the values of excellence, multi-skilling, and global talent, aiming to become the No. 1 destination for African creatives seeking non-formal, non-classroom learning experiences.
The platform will feature an intuitive user interface that prioritizes seamless content accessibility and engagement. With a flexible subscription model offering single courses, multiple courses, and enterprise plans, users will have personalized learning pathways that cater to individuals, professionals, and businesses. learnstar will provide credible and practical learning content through collaborations with industry leaders, ensuring that learners access industry-relevant, localized knowledge.
Designed with scalability and accessibility in mind, learnstar will cater to users both online and offline, including those with limited internet access.
