Founded five years ago in Belgium and headquartered in Luxembourg, CTC collaborates with the European Business University of Luxembourg to provide specialized training and internationally recognized certifications.
In an interview with IGIHE, founder and CEO Nzamutuma Janvier outlined the company’s journey, which began by training a single individual and grew to delivering over 90 certifications in 2024.
“As CTC expands, we see an increasing number of beneficiaries entering the workforce. The more enrollments we have, the more our learners find professional opportunities,” he explained.
Driven from the start by the ambition to expand into Rwanda, Nzamutuma registered the company with the Rwanda Development Board (RDB).
For him, February 28 marks a historic milestone: ten students graduated in Kigali, including seven Rwandans and two international students from South Africa and Nigeria.
“Everything starts modestly. We began with a single learner in Belgium and Luxembourg; today, we have nearly 200 beneficiaries. Starting with ten graduates in Rwanda is already a great achievement,” he said.
Nzamutuma believes Rwanda’s economic development offers a favorable environment for training highly skilled experts capable of meeting the growing demands of the financial sector.
He also thanked CTC’s partners, emphasizing that their collaboration ensures internationally recognized certifications and skills tailored to labor market needs.
Emmanuel Habarugira, an employee in the financial sector at the National Bank of Rwanda (BNR), is among the first graduates trained in Kigali. He discovered CTC through an article run by IGIHE, contacted the founder, and traveled to Europe for further information.
According to him, the training perfectly aligns with his professional field, particularly in combating illicit financial flows, ensuring fund traceability, and meeting regulatory compliance requirements.
“Although I studied economics at university, the training provided by CTC allowed me to deepen and broaden my knowledge, with a more practical approach adapted to professional realities,” he said.
He believes these courses are essential in a context where Rwanda’s financial sector is rapidly growing and requires experts with international qualifications.
An international reach
CTC’s fifth cohort included participants from countries such as Belgium, Luxembourg, Finland, Austria, the United Kingdom, Canada, Burundi, Senegal, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Germany, Spain, and Togo.
Finally, Nzamutuma highlighted that the growing interest in these programs is partly due to changes in European financial regulations since 2008, which have strengthened requirements for compliance and transparency.
