Questions
Something else? Write to [email protected].
Is it paid?
It isn't a salary. Ambassadors earn rewards: a certificate, a LinkedIn recommendation, free Student Premium, training, a monthly prize, and commission when a company they bring subscribes.
How long is it?
One academic term. Active ambassadors can renew for the next term.
Can I apply if I'm not in Bamenda?
Yes. We're starting with the North West, so students there come first, but every application is read.
When will I hear back?
Within 7 days. We reply to every applicant by email.
Do I need a Zigex account to apply?
No, but it helps. If you already have one, tell us the email you used so we can link it.
