Building Africa's Next Generation of Technical Talent

Our Foundations Programme is open to anyone who wants to build practical technology skills. Simply follow Sodbridge Academy on YouTube and join the weekly Foundations sessions when they go live.

For learners who want a more structured learning experience, an optional ₦5,000 structured-learning fee provides additional learning support and guidance. The full ₦5,000 is credited toward tuition if you later enrol in an eligible Advanced Programme.

Yes. Sodbridge Academy offers two participation options for the Foundations Programme.

Audit Learners: Can access the learning experience for free, including prerecorded lessons, weekly live sessions, learning materials and practice activities. Audit participation does not include formal certification or eligibility for certified-learner benefits.

Certified Learners: Pay a one-time programme fee of ₦20,000 to participate in the full assessed learning pathway, including formal assignment assessment, feedback, certificate eligibility and access to applicable progression benefits.

Both options provide access to the Foundations learning experience. The difference is in the assessment, certification and additional programme benefits.

You can explore learning opportunities across our four technology schools: Data School, Development School, Design School, and Cybersecurity School.

Each school has its own Foundations curriculum and Advanced learning pathways designed around practical, industry-relevant skills.

The ₦20,000 Certified Learner fee is designed to support your structured and assessed learning experience.

If you successfully complete the Foundations Programme and progress to an eligible Advanced Professional Programme, the full ₦20,000 is credited towards your Advanced Programme tuition.

If you complete the Foundations Programme but do not proceed to Advanced Professional training, you may qualify for a 70% refund (₦14,000), subject to the programme's completion and performance requirements.

Please note that the tuition credit and completion refund are alternative outcomes and cannot be claimed together.

Yes. Foundations is the recommended pathway for beginners, but learners with relevant prior knowledge or experience may apply directly to an Advanced Programme.

Direct applicants may be required to complete a readiness assessment to demonstrate that they have the foundational knowledge required for the programme. If additional preparation is needed, we may recommend completing the relevant Foundations Programme first.

Click Apply and select your preferred school and Advanced Programme. Depending on your background, you may be asked to complete a readiness assessment or provide information about your previous learning and experience.

Our admissions team will review your application and communicate the next steps, including eligibility, onboarding and programme commencement details.

Our programmes are open to students, recent graduates, NYSC corps members, career changers, professionals, entrepreneurs and anyone committed to developing practical technology skills.

No prior experience is required for our Foundations Programmes. You simply need access to a suitable device, an internet connection, consistency and a willingness to learn.

The Sodbridge Industry Experience Program (SIEP) is our post-training industry experience pathway. Selected graduates may collaborate on real products, contribute to meaningful projects, work in cross-functional teams and build portfolios that demonstrate practical industry experience.

No. SIEP is competitive and merit-based. Admission depends on factors such as technical ability, consistency, professionalism, collaboration, project contributions and available programme capacity.

Most participants join as SIEP Associates to gain practical industry experience. Outstanding contributors may be recognized as SIEP Fellows and may become eligible for merit-based stipends, subject to funding availability, programme needs and applicable arrangements.

After submitting your application, you'll receive a confirmation of your submission. Our admissions team will review your application and, where applicable, assess your readiness for the selected programme.

Eligible applicants will then receive information about admission, payment, onboarding and the upcoming cohort schedule.

Foundations certificates are available to learners enrolled in the optional structured-learning pathway who successfully complete the programme requirements. Learners who participate through the free public YouTube sessions do not automatically receive a certificate.

Advanced Programme graduates who successfully complete the programme requirements receive Sodbridge Academy Professional Certificate for their respective school or specialization.
