NMD Association membership
What the 15 000 FCFA membership fee is, what it gives you, how to pay it and how a JFN university gets it free.
Open Membership
The 15 000 FCFA is the membership fee of the NMD Association, paid once and valid for life. It is not a training fee. The page shows what costs what, and the list of what you get.
Know what you get
Access to all courses of the virtual laboratory, the mission design, radiation and Earth observation tools, the NMD members Telegram groups, preferential rates on NMD events and training, and eligibility for the NMD Mission Design Level 1 certification.
Know what the fee does not cover
The membership fee is not the price of the certification. The MDL1 exam is optional, costs 100 000 FCFA in total, can be paid in parts over 6 months, and is paid separately. The introductory courses and the free tools cost nothing.
Pay with Mobile Money, PayPal or card
Press Pay the membership fee: 15 000 FCFA and choose how to pay: Mobile Money (MTN or Orange), PayPal or bank card. The payment window starts with a sentence that says what you are paying. Follow the instructions on the screen until the payment is confirmed.
This page needs a free account.
Wait for your access to switch on
When the payment is confirmed the page tells you that your access is activated and reloads. The locked courses then open.
JFN universities
If your university is part of JFN, write JFN in the organisation field when you register or in Settings. Your lifetime membership is then free and your account is activated for you.
- The introductory courses are free without membership. Membership unlocks the other courses.
- The certification exam is paid separately, even for members. Paying a part of the certification fee never makes you a member, and paying the membership fee never pays for the exam.
