💬 Featured Success Story: Ijeoma’s WFS Journey

“From hospital bed to ₦2M consulting brand — all during WFS.”

After an accident left her paralysed and unemployed, Ijeoma couldn’t even afford the WFS enrollment fee. But she borrowed the money and joined late.

Six weeks later — while still enrolled — she launched her consulting brand using skills from the program…

“After losing my job, pausing my PhD, and being paralysed for two years, I earned over ₦2 million in six weeks through WFS.”
— Ijeoma, Batch 5 Graduate

🎓 WFS gave her structure, strategy, support — and a fresh start.

💬 Featured Success Story: Dr. Charles’ GOP Journey

“From Shell veteran to MD — without even publishing four articles.”

After over 32 years in oil and gas — including 24 years at Shell — Dr. Charles was already a senior expert. But he came to us not for a job…
He came for visibility, legacy, and global positioning at the apex of his career.

Just weeks into the Global Opportunities Program (GOP), the results started pouring in.

“As an oil and gas expert, I got calls from LinkedIn — even outside Nigeria — just a few weeks into GOP. I was contacted by MSM Oil & Gas Group and became their Managing Director in less than 2 months. I didn’t even need to publish all four recommended articles.”
— Dr. Charles Ayoka, GOP Alumni

🎯 GOP gave him strategic positioning, global visibility, and a seat at the executive table.

📈 You don’t need to chase opportunities — not when you’re positioned for them.

Why Choose Us

Get Results

With over 11,000 individuals having completed our Clarity Module, 120+ glowing Google reviews, and hundreds of students securing remote work or global opportunities regardless of their educational background or career level, we confidently assert that our academy delivers exceptional results in enhancing employability through the skills we teach.

Facilitators Are Professionals Not Just Teachers

I-Train Africa is not a theory-focused school. You learn directly from professionals or founders who have done it/are doing it, and you also carry out projects while on the program.

Do As I Do Programs

All trainings are hands-on—enough of theory. You already did that in school and still lack employability skills. Should we have a social media project requiring images, we give it to you. We teach you the design software needed to execute the task. No pilling up of learning till exam time.

Certificate Of Completion

At the end of the program, you will be issued a certificate stating you are experienced and have worked in a real-life work environment. This helps a potential employer believe in you and increases your chances over others in the job market.

Best Learning Models

Our courses are not just instructions, they come with workbooks / guides / support / network to help you execute and achieve results. Enough of the dull black-and-white prints that make learning difficult. We use illustrations, colourful images, and models to make the knowledge accessible to consume.

Best Support & Community

Our courses go beyond just instruction - we surround you with support. Our team of dedicated Student Success Managers and Advisors are trained to help you learn effectively and overcome any challenges. Plus, you'll be part of a vibrant community of peers who will encourage, motivate, and support you every step of the way.

"After taking a break from my sales executive job to care for my baby, I struggled to reintegrate into the workforce. Despite earning an MBA, I lacked confidence and 21st-century skills. I realized that skills, not certificates, are now the priority. Employers seek efficient and productive individuals. I sought a tech-powered organization to learn, intern, and work. Luckily, I found I-Train Africa's skills program, which provided me with the practical skills and experience I needed to thrive in the modern workforce." - Sandra Sampor

"I thought a computer science degree was the key to a tech career. But Dr. Derin opened my eyes to the reality that skills, not certificates, are what matter. I joined I-Train Africa and gained practical skills in digital marketing, automation, and more. In just 5 months, I've become proficient in setting up landing pages, funnels, and automation for digital products. I've even progressed from apprentice to intern, earning an allowance, and have ideas for using my new skills to work virtually." - Tayo

"I'm Ganiat Arogundade. A year ago, I had an 8-year-old master's degree with no skills or job title. But after joining I-Train Africa, I gained highly sought-after skills and landed two global job roles: Program Coordinator for a global conference and Product Manager for an employability academy. Within 5 months, I was managing 65+ volunteers and shortly after, secured a paid product manager role. I achieved in 11 months what I couldn't in 8+ years with my degrees. I-Train Africa transformed my life, and I'm grateful." ~ Ganiat Arogundade

"I was a microbiology graduate struggling to find a job, lacking essential skills like effective communication and digital knowledge. Luckily, my mentor introduced me to Dr. Aderinsola Adio-Adepoju, who helped me gain clarity, find purpose, and acquire relevant skills through I-Train Africa. I acquired soft skills, emotional intelligence, and practical communication skills, transforming me into a confident professional. I'm now the Communication Lead, and I attribute my success to Dr. Aderinsola's immersive and holistic approach to learning." --- Muinat

"I'll never forget the day I visited Dr. Derin in 2018. I asked for money, but instead, she shared her secret to traveling the world on research grants. She mentored me, showing me how to leverage my academics for opportunities. With her guidance, I applied for the iSI scholarship, and she served as my referee. On May 2, I received the email saying I won! Dr. Derin's mentorship transformed my life, and I'm forever grateful." - Kunle

"I wondered how people got noticed and landed their desired opportunities. Dr. Derin revealed the secret: having the right profile and strategic positioning. After a 3-hour profile revamp, I was shocked when industry leaders in oil and gas, whom I had previously admired, reached out to me to join their teams. Dr. Derin's expertise transformed my online presence, opening doors to new opportunities and turning the tables in my favor." - AugustaHeavens

"Within 2 weeks of joining Dr. Derin's program, I received interview messages from international organizations like Netflix, without even applying. Her PPP framework helped me gain clarity, design a compelling profile, and position myself strategically. The results were astonishing - recruiters reached out, and I even landed a dream job paying in dollars. I've also monetized my newfound skills, charging friends $200 to write their profiles. Dr. Derin's training has been invaluable, and I feel I owe her a 'tithe' of thousands." - Ivie

"As an electrician, I thought technology wasn't relevant to my job. But after acquiring digital skills, I can now create content, run Facebook Ads, and attract ideal clients. I've gone from 'hoping' for clients to leveraging social media and digital marketing to grow my business. Anyone can master tech skills, regardless of age, gender, or background. I'm proof! Technology fuels growth, automates tasks, and connects you with customers. It's a game-changer for artisans like me." - Mujib
