Somali-led Guidance with Measurable, Published Outcomes

Across schools and diaspora hubs, we turn requirements into weekly steps. Our programmes cover shortlists and statements, referee briefs, interview practice, and the right IELTS choice with regional booking support. You’ll also complete compact digital and AI projects that strengthen applications and early careers, with clear timelines, honest feedback, and measurable progress.

“I mixed up UKVI and Academic before KEMN. They explained the rules, booked me in Addis, and set weekly targets. My IELTS moved from 5.5 to 6.5 in six weeks. We submitted Chevening two weeks early with three clean statements and solid referees.”

Ayaan M.

Master’s Applicant

“The shortlist matched my GPA and budget. KEMN’s document audit cut two errors I’d missed. Using their referee brief, my lecturer replied in 48 hours. I sent both applications ten days early and got two interview invites. The process felt organised, not lucky.”

Abdirahman K.

Erasmus Candidate

“I always started late. KEMN broke it into weekly tasks: NID, transcripts, translations, statement, budget proof. We finished before the January–February window closed. I was pre-selected and interviewed calmly after two mocks. Even if I’d waited, the checklist alone was worth it.”

Abdirahman K.

Erasmus candidate

“I was going to take IELTS Online. KEMN flagged it wouldn’t work for UKVI and saved me a retake. We booked Nairobi, practised timing, and fixed Writing Task 2 structure. Band went 6.0 → 7.0. The travel plan and packing list removed stress.”

Yusuf D.

IELTS + UK Study

“The mini-project was simple: a Google Sheets inventory with charts. We wrote three lines about impact and linked it in my CV. It gave my statement something real. I got one funded offer and one with a tuition discount. I’m still using that sheet.”
