An India-based computer education organization has expanded into Nigeria as it seeks to grow digital skills training for young people in Africa’s largest economy.
Council of Computer Education Research and Training (CCERT), which promotes computer education and vocational technology training, said it is extending its study center network to Nigeria through partnerships with local training institutes.
The organization said the move aims to improve access to practical computer education and help Nigerian students develop digital skills needed in the modern economy.
“Through our study center model, educational institutes can collaborate with us to deliver structured computer training programs and certifications,” CCERT said in a statement announcing the expansion.
Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Ludhiana, India, the organization has operated a network of authorized study centers across India that offer training in computer literacy and vocational technology skills.
Under the model, partner institutes operate as approved study centers delivering CCERT courses while the organization provides curriculum frameworks, certification and academic guidelines.
The programmes include courses in computer fundamentals, digital marketing, desktop publishing, website design, computer accounting and artificial intelligence using Python.
CCERT said the courses are designed to provide practical digital skills and improve employment opportunities for students in technology-related fields.
Partnerships
The organization also operates an online certificate verification system that allows employers, students and institutions to confirm the authenticity of certificates issued through its study centers.
CCERT said Nigeria’s growing technology sector and increasing interest in digital entrepreneurship make the country an attractive destination for expanding computer education programs.
The organization said it has already begun receiving inquiries from Nigerian training institutes interested in joining the network.
CCERT is inviting computer training centers, ICT academies and education entrepreneurs in Nigeria to partner with the organization and operate authorized study centers offering its programmes.
The expansion reflects increasing international interest in Nigeria’s digital education sector as demand grows for technology skills among young people.
