Free technical training in Nigeria

Dotmac Academy offers technical training in Nigeria for working technicians, beginners, students and NYSC corps members. You can apply online and study lessons at your own pace after admission. Working technicians can qualify for free training, and some tracks include in-person practice.

Who can apply?

Working technicians can apply to build on their experience or learn a different skill. Beginners and applicants outside formal education can also apply. If you’re a SIWES student, NYSC corps member or OND/HND intern, see the training options below for your route.

What’s free?

Working technicians, SIWES students, NYSC corps members and OND/HND interns can qualify for free technical training. Free training includes online lessons for your selected track. Ask the Academy about eligibility and availability for your course and intake. Check whether any practical sessions, equipment or certification carry a separate fee, and budget for travel if you need to attend in person.

What can I do online?

You can submit your application online. The Academy sends the entrance assessment link by email. Once admitted, you can work through the online lessons at your own pace.

Can you complete the training entirely online? That depends on the course. If your track includes in-person labs or field practice, confirm the location, dates and equipment requirements before applying.
