TekTariq Tech Academy
Tech Training in Nigeria:
Built for Real-World Application
The TekTariq Tech Academy is one of the most structured, rigorous tech training programmes in Lagos and Nigeria. It is not a workshop, a seminar, or a self-paced video library.
It is a 12-week, cohort-based programme that takes students from zero to genuine, portfolio-backed job-readiness across five of the highest-demand tech careers in Nigeria.
Every student who completes the Academy has done real work, and can prove it with a professional portfolio, live projects, and demonstrated competency assessed at four stages.
The 4-Level Competence Progression Model
Every track in the TekTariq Tech Academy follows the same four-level Competence Progression Model. The tools and content differ per track. The structure, rigour, and gate assessment logic are identical across all five. A curriculum is not a list of topics, it is a designed progression from zero to job-readiness, and that is exactly what this programme delivers.
Foundation
Core concepts, critical thinking, and problem framing specific to your track.
Core Skills
Practical tool mastery built through real micro-projects, not isolated exercises.
Real Work
Collaborative team projects using professional workflows (Git, sprints, standups, code reviews).
Industry Simulation
Full product built under simulated employment conditions with a PM and a stakeholder panel.
Gate Assessment Principle
Every level ends with a gate assessment - a live demonstration of competency through real work, not written tests.
Students who do not pass receive targeted support and one additional attempt. No student advances without demonstrated competence.
5 Tech Training Tracks in Lagos: Choose Your Path
All five tracks run simultaneously in Cohort 1. Each track is 12 weeks long, follows the same level structure, and ends with a portfolio-ready capstone project. Choose the track that matches where you want to go.
The Product Design track trains students to research, design, and present user-centred digital products at a professional standard. You will graduate with a Figma portfolio, real usability research, a full design system, and the ability to defend every decision in a stakeholder room.
