The headquarters of GROUPE UNIVGA is located in Libreville, Gabon — Nzeng-Ayong District, Chantier Moderne, top floor, door on the right of the tiled building opposite Plaisance. Although our teaching is 100% online, we have a physical presence for welcoming students, receiving enrollment documents, and settling tuition fees. The institution is also incorporated in the UK as a company (Company Number 12581906), which enhances its international dimension.

GROUPE UNIVGA is the official and administrative name of the institution, which appears on all legal documents, registrations, and ministerial authorizations. "Virtual University of Gabon" (or UNIVGA) is the trade name adopted to reflect the 100% digital nature of the institution and facilitate its identification by the public. Therefore, it is the same entity: the administrative name is GROUPE UNIVGA, and the commonly used name is Virtual University of Gabon.

Each lesson is structured in several progressive steps. You start with the Essentials of the course (written text + audio + downloadable PDF), which includes a detailed explained case study, a FAQ, and preparation questions. Then, you validate 3 mandatory activities: Key Points (10 enrichments), Situational Exercise (professional decision-making simulation), and Evaluation (timed quiz). All 3 activities must be completed to unlock the next lesson.

Yes. Each lesson includes an audio course that you can listen to at any time, as well as a downloadable PDF containing the entire written content of the lesson. You can therefore review offline, while on the go, or without internet access. The audio content is particularly appreciated by students who wish to learn on the move.

Each lesson contains a case study directly integrated into the course content. It is accompanied by a section of in-depth explanation to help you understand how theory applies in a concrete situation. These cases are drawn from real professional contexts (African and international) and allow you to anchor your learning in practice from the very first reading.

The preparation questions located at the end of each lesson have a dual purpose. First, they allow you to deepen your understanding of the course through your own research and personal reflections. Second, for students in degree programs, they serve to prepare your discussions during course explanation sessions with your educational supervisor via videoconference. By working on them in advance, you get the most out of each session.

Yes, all mandatory activities (Key Points, Situational Exercise, Evaluation) are automatically graded by the platform. You receive immediate feedback on your answers with your score and mastery level. This allows you to quickly identify your gaps and revisit the necessary concepts before continuing your progress.

The progressive unlocking system ensures that each student truly grasps the concepts before moving on. The 3 mandatory activities (Key Points, Scenario, and Assessment) verify different skills: comprehension, decision-making, and recall. This rigorous pedagogical model ensures the quality of the course and the value of your training.

For certification training, only a copy of your identity document is required. Certification trainings are open to the general public without any prior diploma requirement. You can even make the payment in advance — the training will actually start after the administration receives and validates your identity document.

For diploma training, you must provide at least: a copy of your Baccalauréat certificate or diploma, a copy of your identity document, and a recent passport photo. Depending on your enrollment level (L3/Bachelor: proof of Bac+2; Master/MBA: Bac+3 degree; DBA: Master Bac+5), additional documents will be required. Tuition fees are only paid after your file has been validated by the administration.

You have two options. You can submit your documents directly online via the pre-registration form, or you can go in person to the UNIVGA Group headquarters in Libreville, Nzeng-Ayong Quarter, Chantier Moderne (top floor, door on the right of the tiled building opposite Plaisance). In both cases, your documents will be verified before official validation.

UNIVGA accepts several payment methods: via Mobile Money, directly online on the website, in person at the Libreville headquarters, or by international transfer. To know the exact details suited to your payment method, contact the administration.

Thanks to the 100% digital nature of the institution, courses generally start between 1 and 3 business days after your payment confirmation. This short delay allows the administration to finalize your file, create your student account, and set up your access to the platform with all your subjects.

The maximum duration of a certification training is 3 months. However, since you progress at your own pace by completing the activities of each lesson, you can certainly finish well before the 3 months if you progress quickly. There are no time constraints or imposed academic calendar — unlike diploma trainings.

By default, certification trainings operate in complete autonomy with assistance from the administrative team. However, if you wish to benefit from personalized human support (video conference explanation sessions, supervised assignments), this option is available upon request from the management. After evaluating your situation, a personalized quote will be proposed — whether for individual support or company coverage.

Certification trainings provide a certificate of competence attesting to your mastery of the studied field. This is not a university LMD diploma. To obtain a recognized diploma (Bachelor, Master, MBA, DBA), you must enroll in one of UNIVGA's diploma trainings, which benefit from complete support with dedicated teachers, an academic calendar, and supervised assignments.

You benefit from the assistance of the UNIVGA administrative team for all your administrative and technical questions. Each activity is automatically evaluated with immediate feedback on your answers, and your progress is tracked lesson by lesson with clear indicators. The FAQ integrated into each lesson answers the most common doubts, and the preparation questions guide you in your personal research.

The main difference lies in the support and recognition. Diploma trainings (Bachelor, Master, MBA, DBA) include complete human support: dedicated teachers, video conference sessions, personalized academic calendar, supervised assignments, and defense for L3 level and above. They follow the LMD system with ECTS credits. Certification trainings, on the other hand, are 100% autonomous, open without prerequisites, with a maximum duration of 3 months, with administrative support and automated corrections. Personalized support is available upon request for an additional cost.

Video conference sessions are live sessions on Zoom or Google Meet, scheduled according to your personalized academic calendar. They include in-depth explanations of the courses by your educational supervisors, interactive Q&A exchanges tailored to your difficulties, as well as supervised assignments in real-time. Connection links are sent to you by email before each session. This calendar is provided to you upon registration.

Supervised assignments take place live on Zoom or Google Meet, under the conditions of a real exam. You will complete them within a set time, with your camera on, under the supervision of your educational supervisor. These evaluations are planned in advance in your academic calendar and complement the automatic evaluations of the platform to ensure maximum academic rigor.

For L3, Bachelor, Master, MBA, or DBA level trainings, the course concludes with an oral defense before an academic jury via Zoom or Google Meet. The date is set in agreement with your personal schedule, and you will have a complete preparation guide well in advance. You will present your final work (report, thesis, or dissertation depending on the level), followed by questions from the jury. This defense officially validates your course and conditions the obtaining of your diploma.

Once your registration is validated, a personalized academic calendar will be provided to you. It organizes your course by defining the periods of classes, the dates of video conference sessions, supervised assignments, and, if applicable, the defense. This calendar ensures serious monitoring and structured progress while allowing you the flexibility of online learning — without the constraints of permanent live classes.

Yes, registrations are open throughout the year thanks to the digital format of UNIVGA. Your personalized academic calendar is established from your effective registration date, allowing you to start at any time. Each student thus follows an individualized path, independently of others.
