NITDA has partnered with Coursera to offer learning scholarships that will enable Nigerian citizens to obtain professional certifications from some of the world’s leading multinational tech companies (e.g. Meta, Google, IBM) and top ranked US universities.
Applicants are to select one certification program each from Category A and Category B that they wish to be enrolled in.
Category A (IT Career Pathway) offers a total of 20 professional certification programs to help you kickstart a successful IT career.
Each programme comprises a series of related courses focused on providing deep knowledge and hands-on skills required for employment. When you complete each individual course within the programme, you’ll earn a certificate of completion.
However, the professional certification will be earned when you have completed all the required courses in the programme.
Category B (Complementary Skills Pathway) offers 4 certification programmes for you to choose from to complement your IT career skills and sharpen your use of digital productivity tools, entrepreneurship, or freelancing skills.
You may click on the attached programme links below to read about the professional certifications before making your choice.
Successful applicants will receive a Coursera license in their provided email in the form of a joining link. They will then be able to join the programme and enroll on a course by clicking on that link.
Each scholar will have access to the Coursera license for a period of six (6) months.
Scholars are expected to use this time to complete as many professional certifications as possible, but they can only be enrolled in one certification at a time, with any of the 3MTT 12 core skills listed below as courses within the certifications; Software Development, UI/UX Design, Data Analysis & Visualization, Quality Assurance, Product Management, Animation, AI / Machine Learning, Cybersecurity, Game Development, Cloud Computing, Dev Ops and Data Science.
Programmes kick off by February 10, 2024.
