Most "how much is a tech course" answers online give a vague range. This page gives our own prices, line by line, as they appear on our pricing page and as our checkout charges them. We cannot speak for other schools' fees, so where we mention the wider market we tell you what to check rather than quoting numbers we cannot verify.

Tech Faculty NG course fees in 2026

Every paid track has a minimum fee, which is the least you can pay to enrol in that department. You build your plan from individual courses and optional benefits, and the total must reach that minimum.

Where "all courses" is lower than "starts from", the minimum is reached by adding a learning mode or one of the benefits below.

The free option

The Bootcamp Starter track costs ₦0. It covers Intro to Programming, Intro to AI & ChatGPT, Git & GitHub Basics and Tech Career Guidance, online and self-paced, with a completion certificate. It is the cheapest honest way to find out whether tech suits you before you pay for anything.

What changes the price

Learning mode. Online-only study with recorded lectures adds nothing. Hybrid mode, which is online study plus monthly physical meetups, adds ₦12,000. Physical classes, meaning weekly on-site classes at a campus, add ₦22,500. Our online vs physical guide covers which one suits you.

Benefits you choose. These are optional and priced separately:

• Job Placement Support: ₦15,000
• Internship Access: ₦12,000
• Mentor Network Access: ₦18,000
• Industry Certification Prep (web, mobile, cybersecurity and cloud tracks): ₦22,500
• One-on-One Mentorship, one hour a week (data and AI tracks): ₦30,000
• VIP Classes at a chosen location (AI track): ₦75,000
• Tech Faculty Certificate: included at no cost

A worked example. A student taking every course in the web development track (₦82,500), choosing physical classes (₦22,500) and adding Job Placement Support (₦15,000) pays ₦120,000 in total.

SIWES and industrial training fees

Computer science and ICT students on industrial training have separate options:

• Virtual IT placement: ₦45,000 for the full duration of the placement.
• Logbook review, signing, stamping and two-way courier delivery: ₦15,000.

Details are on the Virtual SIWES page, and our SIWES guide for computer science and ICT students explains how it fits your school's requirements.

How to compare fees between schools

A lower fee is not always cheaper, and a higher one is not always better. Before you pay any school, including us, ask:

1. What exactly is included? Courses, mentorship, exam prep and certificates are often priced separately.
2. Is the certificate verifiable? Anyone should be able to check it on a public page. Ours is at techfaculty.ng/verify. Our guide on how to verify a tech certificate in Nigeria shows what to look for.
3. How long is the programme, and how many contact hours? A low fee for a short course can cost more per hour than a longer one.
4. Are international exam fees included? Vendor certification exams are usually paid to the vendor in dollars and are not part of most training fees. Check the vendor's own site for the current exam price.
5. What does the laptop cost you? Most tracks need one. Factor it into your budget.
