African eDevelopment Resource Centre

The African eDevelopment Resource Centre (AeRC) is an ICT certification and training organisation headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. According to the centre's own materials it has operated for more than twenty years and engages over fifty subject-matter experts. AeRC delivers vendor-aligned training and certification programmes covering project management, telecommunications and fibre optics, Microsoft technologies, cybersecurity and cloud computing, enterprise resource planning, AI and machine learning, GDPR and data protection, and data science. Microsoft Silver Learning Partner status is the principal Microsoft credential the organisation cites publicly, supporting expert-led Microsoft training and certification across East Africa, including in-person classes in Nairobi and online delivery into the wider region. The Microsoft Solutions Partner classification recorded in the source partner directory reflects the organisation's training-partner reseller relationship rather than a system-integrator implementation practice. AeRC's role in the Dynamics 365 ecosystem is therefore better understood as a learning and certification supplier serving end-users, IT professionals and consultants who deploy or operate Microsoft business applications, rather than a hands-on implementer.
