Don't just take our word for it.

Remote Rising is new, so these reviews are from professionals we've already placed in remote roles through Africa Rising, the same team and the same standard behind the course.

What is Remote Rising?

A remote career means earning a living from work you're proud of (for companies in the US, Canada, the EU, Dubai, or right here on the continent) without relocating or leaving home. Landing one isn't luck or connections. It's a skill, and Remote Rising teaches it in four weeks, live.

You'll learn to
Stand out with moves most applicants never make: video resumes, portfolios, a magnetic LinkedIn, real networking and events
Find where remote roles live and actively source them, with a live roles database and a community that shares openings
Get in front of the people who actually hire, not the applicant-tracking robots
Prep for interviews with an executive recruiter who has seen both sides of the table
Put AI to work for your job search, and the future of your career
Without
The tired “just fix your resume and cover letter” routine
Firing applications into the void and hoping
Needing the right connections or who you know
A fancy degree or the “right” background
Paying a cent to apply
This isn't a course you buy and never open. It's live, and the people who land the job are the ones who run the playbook, not just watch it.
Weekly live workshops
12 hours of live, interactive instruction over 4 weeks: CV, LinkedIn, sourcing, outreach, interviews, and negotiation. Built around doing, not theory.

Private Slack community
A members-only space to share wins, swap leads, and job-hunt alongside other African professionals. Yours for a full year.

Application CRM
A tracker you can use from day one, loaded with a hub of target organizations, so you run your search like a system instead of guessing.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

Everything you might want to know before you apply, including the parts most courses won't tell you.

Is this course right for me?
Remote Rising is for professionals who want to build a remote career and are willing to do the work to get there, regardless of where you live or where the company hiring is based. It's designed for mid-career professionals with roughly 3 to 8 years of experience, though more senior or earlier-career people get plenty out of it depending on their situation. If you want a guarantee that a job appears at the end, this isn't that. We hand you the playbook and run it with you; you run the reps.
Are there any prerequisites for this course?
No formal ones. No specific degree, certification, or "right" background. But here's the honest truth: the best people get the best jobs. The tactics we teach will only take you so far. You need real skills to position, or the drive to go build them. If you're willing to be a rockstar at what you do and put in the work, you're exactly who this is for.
What if I'm already experienced and have applied to dozens of roles?
Then you've probably felt exactly what this course exists to fix: doing everything "right" and still hearing nothing back. Experienced applicants tend to get the most from the non-obvious tactics (direct outreach, video resumes, getting past the ATS to a human) because the substance is already there. What's been missing is how you're going about it.
Why should I take this course now?
Because the way people land remote work is changing fast, and the old playbook stopped working a while ago. The professionals winning remote roles today aren't doing what everyone else is doing: they're using approaches most applicants haven't caught up to yet. Every month spent doing it the old way is a month of roles going to people who learned the new one. The sooner you build these skills, the sooner they start compounding.
How much time will I spend on the course each week?
Plan for the live instruction (about 3 hours a week) plus a few hours of actual application: revamping your profile, sending outreach, doing the reps. Call it 5 to 7 hours a week to get real value. You can do more; you'll get out what you put in.
What if I can't attend a live session?
Every session is recorded and added to your library, so you'll never fall behind. That said, the live sessions are where the real value is: the coaching, the questions, the energy of a cohort moving together. Come live when you can; catch the replay when you can't.
Do I need to live in a big city to land remote work?
No. The whole premise of Remote Rising is that where you live shouldn't cap your career, and remote work today reaches far beyond tech. Companies hire remotely across operations, marketing, sales, customer success, design, finance, admin, and plenty more. We've worked with talent from across the continent (Nigeria, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Kenya, South Africa) landing roles with companies in the US, Canada, the EU, and Dubai. You need skills and an internet connection, not a particular city or industry.
Which tools and platforms will I need?
Nothing exotic. A computer with reliable internet, a LinkedIn account, and a way to join live video sessions. We'll point you to the AI tools and platforms we use throughout. Most have free tiers, and we'll show you how to get the most out of them.
How long can I access course materials?
A full year. Recordings, the content library, AI prompt library, roles and company databases, and the Slack community all stay open for twelve months after your cohort, so you can keep using them long after the four weeks end.
How much will I interact with Weh'yee?
In the cohort, plenty. He teaches the live sessions himself and runs weekly group office hours where you can bring your real situation. It's mostly group coaching, but there's real handholding too: selective 1-on-1 sessions with Weh'yee as capacity allows. If you want dedicated, private time that's truly unlimited, that's what the 1-on-1 tier is for. Don't believe us? Text Weh'yee on WhatsApp right now and ask him yourself: +1 415 549 1944.
Can't I find all this content online for free?
Honestly? Pieces of it, yes. What's scattered across a hundred videos, and what no video gives you, is the sequence, the live coaching when you're stuck, an executive recruiter's read on what hirers actually want, and a room of people doing it alongside you. You're not paying for information. You're paying for a path and accountability.
Do you guarantee I'll get a job?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. We can't control whether you do the work, how the market moves, or who you're up against. What we can do is give you the exact system that's worked for the people we've placed, and coach you through running it. The effort is yours; so are the results. That said, if landing a role is your priority and you want the highest-touch path, the 1-on-1 package puts Weh'yee directly in your corner (personal strategy, hands-on reviews, and a done-for-you video resume), which meaningfully raises your odds.
What makes the 1-on-1 package different?
The cohort gives you group coaching plus selective 1-on-1s as capacity allows. The 1-on-1 package is a different level: truly unlimited private time with Weh'yee across six weeks, built entirely around your situation, your background, your target roles, your sticking points. He'll go hands-on with your strategy, your LinkedIn and outreach, and a done-for-you video resume, and do everything he can to help you land a remote role. If you want a personal guide rather than a classroom, this is it.
What's your refund policy?
No refunds, except in extraordinary circumstances: medical emergencies, a death in the family, and the like. We keep cohorts small and the work is front-loaded, so we ask you to join only when you're ready to commit. If you're unsure whether it's the right fit, book a clarity call before you pay and we'll talk it through honestly.
Are there scholarships available?
Not at the moment. We may explore options down the line, but for now there's a single price and no separate scholarship track.

Still have a question? Book a clarity call and ask away.
