Tools you'll master

TASAD is a Tanzanian school of art, design and technology where aspiring creatives and tech learners build practical skills, sharpen their thinking and create work they're proud to show clients — from Dar es Salaam to the world.

Every course
Real briefs from real Tanzanian businesses. You'll design flyers, logos, posts and websites for the kind of clients you'll serve after class — from duka owners to NGOs — and graduate with a portfolio that proves what you can do.
Project-based learningTASAD learning experience
Small classes
Small classes mean your work actually gets reviewed. Mentors sit with you, critique your designs and code line by line, and push you until it's good enough to show a paying client.
