Who makes Mbeng?
Mbeng is not an agency. It's a free guide, built by a student who has just been through the same journey as you.
- Me, Jiordi Kengne
- I grew up between Bafoussam and Douala. I did a DUT then a bachelor's in Software Engineering at the IUT of Douala, while working at the Congo market until the day I left. In 2026, I moved to France for an engineering degree in work-study.
- Why Mbeng
- I have just been through this journey: Campus France, visa, arrival, work-study. The information is scattered, often out of date, and it's easy to miss a deadline or pay for nothing. Mbeng is the guide I wish I had had: the next step, in the right order, with the official source of every figure.
- What Mbeng doesn't do
- Mbeng doesn't handle any file, asks for no payment, sells no service and promises neither admission nor a visa. Every procedure happens on the official websites (Études en France, TLS, France-Visas): Campus France and the embassy decide.
- How it's funded
- I build it alone, in my free time. There are no ads and no subscription: server costs are small and I pay them myself.
- How figures are checked
- Every amount and date links to its official source, with the date it was checked. Official pages are re-read automatically every week: when a figure changes, I'm alerted and I fix it. When a fact isn't confirmed, the page says so.
- Found a mistake?
- Every page has a "Report a mistake or suggest an addition" button. I review everything by hand. If you went through a step differently, your feedback helps the next students.
- Thanks
- The idea for Mbeng came from following the work of lndev.
