What savannah training solutions does

Savannah Training Solutions Limited is a Kenya-domiciled private limited company headquartered in Nairobi that operates as a training and consultancy provider, not a software or platform business. It delivers accredited, instructor-led and self-paced programs across three core pillars: Certified Data Centre Courses (covering design, operations, TIA-942 auditing, fire safety, cleaning, and technician skills aligned to TIA-942, EN 50600, and ISO/IEC 22237 standards), Lean Six Sigma Courses (Yellow Belt through Master Black Belt accredited by the British Quality Foundation), and Global Internship Programs (a USA J-1 Visa Intern and Trainee Program and a Virtual Internship Programme). It also offers Project/Programme/Portfolio Management (PRINCE2, MSP, MoP, Principles of Asset Management via IAM), AI Governance and Privacy training, and IT Governance/Enterprise Architecture training aligned to COBIT. The firm holds an unusually dense accreditation stack for its apparent size, including BQF, TIA recognition, IAM, CQI Recommended Provider status (described as one of only two such endorsed providers), and EQF Level 5 benchmarking for its Data Centre Expert certification.

The business model is sales-led direct, with one-time per-program fees ranging from USD 600 for a 1-day LSS Champions course to USD 9,900 for the Master Black Belt, plus USD 1,740 for the 12-week Virtual Internship and USD 5,916 for the J-1 program (with bundled application, visa, and SEVIS fees). Distribution runs through four channels: live virtual classroom, in-house corporate training, a self-paced Learning Management System, and open classroom delivery in Nairobi, Mombasa, and select African locations. Customer segments span individual professionals seeking certifications, corporate organizations (banks, governments, corporates) buying in-house capacity building, students and recent graduates using internships for career entry, international J-1 candidates, and educational institutions integrating virtual internships into curricula.

The company has no disclosed proprietary technology stack, API, mobile app, or AI/ML model; it is fundamentally a services business that resells and delivers third-party-accredited curricula. It operates a single HQ office in Nairobi with no disclosed subsidiaries, no parent company, no institutional investors, and no funding rounds, and its global reach beyond Africa is delivered through a partnership with Virtual Internships rather than owned infrastructure.
