Software academy woos Nigerians with payment after learning plan

A leading software development academy in Nigeria, Zulfah Academy, has offered Nigerian learners a unique learn-and-pay-later opportunity.

The academy has been at the forefront of imparting knowledge to Nigerians interested in learning software development and other related skills.

While highlighting the academy’s uniqueness at a matriculation ceremony held recently, Zulfah Team Lead, Abayomi Ajao, revealed all the special plans the academy has designed to make learning comfortable for interested learners in the face of the current economic situation in the country.

Ajao listed the special offers to include self-sponsorship and financier investment plans. 

Ajao's words: “We are confident that our training and career support will lead to a high-paying job for the learner after going through our six-month intensive training. 

“The Self Sponsorship Plan – SSP - is a (Pay-Learn-Earn) payment plan where prospective learners either sponsor themselves and/or a third party from the learner to help with the training costs. 

“Also, learners who cannot afford the boot camp fees can opt for the FIP(Financier Investment Plan), This is a (Learn-Earn-Pay) action plan. 

“Here, Zulfah and its financier partners will agree to sponsor learners throughout the programme under which the student agrees to pay XY % of their post-training income for XY months as agreed by the candidate and the financier partner.”

The ceremony, which took place at Zulfah Academy’s new office at Maryland Crescent, Lagos State, had over 50 learners matriculated for different courses. 

Speaking on the benefits available to the newly-matriculated learners, Ajao said, “Zulfah delivers an intensive six-month program where our software developers learn Frontend development, Backend development, Fullstack development and additional soft skills in an immersive environment. 

“Through an agile delivery methodology, mentor matching and leadership modules, our software engineers are equipped with techniques and a leadership mindset that enables them to work competitively in any team globally.” 

The Zulfah Academy Team Lead, while reeling out their achievements, said many alumni of the academy have already secured employment in reputable organisations.

“During these projects, we ensure they are well-equipped to develop programs individually and in teams. We enforce industry standards and best practices that match the dynamics of the tech industry, engage in complete hands-on coding projects with personalised feedback and enhance tactical problem-solving techniques and give a feel of reality,” Ajao added.
