Grace Mwangi
IGCSE Biology teacher, Nairobi
Certified in 14 weeks · IGCSE track · 87% final score
The challenge. Grace taught Biology in a national-curriculum school for six years. Every international school job she applied for was lost to candidates with a Cambridge credential — and she couldn't leave her job for residential workshops.
What she did. She enrolled on the IGCSE track, studying 45 minutes before school each morning. The reflective journal became her lesson-planning habit; the practicum ran with her own Grade 10 class.
The result. Within one term she was teaching IGCSE Biology at an international school in Nairobi, with a publicly verifiable certificate on her CV and ready-made assessment templates she still uses weekly.
Daniel Okafor
Head of Sciences, Lagos
6-teacher school team · IGCSE track
The challenge. Daniel was made Head of Sciences and expected to run IGCSE delivery with no formal Cambridge training — for himself or any of his five colleagues.
What she did. His school enrolled the whole department on the IGCSE track. Daniel tracked each teacher's modules, quiz scores and practicum submissions on a shared dashboard.
The result. Six certified teachers in one term, standardised lesson planning across the department, and a school group rate that cut per-teacher cost by a third.
Amara Nsibande
MYP teacher, Eswatini
Certified in 15 weeks · IB track
The challenge. Amara was a full-time MYP teacher who couldn't step away for fixed-date IB workshops abroad — the nearest were a flight and a visa away.
What she did. She certified fully online: IB philosophy and inquiry-based planning in the mornings, section quizzes in the evenings, practicum during a normal teaching term.
The result. A verifiable IB certification on her own schedule, plus a digital badge with a public verification link she added to her LinkedIn profile.
Every graduate's certificate can be checked publicly on our verification page — no graduate story here is unverifiable.

"We have hired four MastaLearn-certified teachers in two hiring cycles. The verification page made our screening straightforward — we checked each certificate in under a minute. What impressed us more was the classroom evidence: structured unit plans and reflective journals from day one."
Head of Secondary, Nairobi International Academy
"MastaLearn's practicum requirement is the difference. Candidates arrive having already planned and taught a full unit against the syllabus. Our onboarding time for new IGCSE staff has halved since we started prioritising their certification in job ads."
