(with influence via 7hubent Tech — your free marketing buddy)

Picture this: You’re walking down Adekunle, Yaba. You see young people glued to phones, whispering of data science, UI/UX, Python, “who can teach me?” You sense an opportunity—a tech training school sprouting right there. But how do you build it so that it’s not just another “coding class,” but a brand that outlives trends and really helps youth get jobs or start side hustles?

That’s what I want to walk you through: step-by-step, peppered with stories and real tips. And yes, 7hubent Tech will hold your hand in marketing once you set it up.

Why Yaba, Lagos? Why 2026?

  • Yaba is often called Yabacon Valley—a hotspot for tech hubs, startups, and young coders. Africa Tech Schools has placed innovation labs in Yaba for this reason. (africatechschools.com)

  • The Nigerian government is pushing the 3MTT (3 Million Technical Talent) project: they want to train millions in tech skills by 2027. (Wikipedia)

  • In 2026, the tech skills gap is still wide. Every fresh graduate, drop-out, or skill-seeker is hunting for somewhere to learn.

So your timing is good—but if you want your training school to last, you must do smart work, not just hard work.

My Story (so you feel me)

When I first thought of opening a training school, I didn’t have money to rent a fancy classroom in Victoria Island. I was broke. But I had two things: a laptop and a WhatsApp network. I started teaching Python to two friends in my small room in Surulere. We charged a token, “pay when you like,” and posted updates on 7hubent Tech’s free advertising groups. Within a month, I had 20 students. One student got a remote gig. Word spread. Today, I run a small tech academy in Ikeja—but sometimes I miss that humble start in my little room. That’s the kind of grit you’ll need.

Step-by-Step Guide: Launching Your Tech Training School in Yaba

Here’s your 2026 blueprint. Use it like your checklist.

Step What to Do Why It Matters / Tips
1. Choose your niche & curriculum Decide: Web dev, mobile apps, UI/UX, data analytics, cybersecurity, etc. Start with one or two tracks. You won’t attract everyone. Be known for excellence in one area first.
2. Legal & logistics Register your business with CAC Nigeria, get space in Yaba (a small hall, co-working space, or shared office). Ensure power, internet, chairs, whiteboard. Without legit status, big clients may hesitate.
3. Hire trainers or partner Find 1-2 skilled instructors (maybe remote) or partner with freelancers who can teach modules. Your reputation will ride on quality teaching.
4. Define fees & payment modes Decide pricing (e.g. monthly, per module). Accept bank transfer, USSD, mobile money. In Nigeria, payment convenience kills or makes deals.
5. Develop course materials & project work Prepare slide decks, hands-on projects, assignments. Use open source, GitHub, etc. People learn by doing. Show portfolio results.
6. Set up admin systems Enrollment forms, attendance systems, certificates, student supportdesk. Even small scale schools need structure.
7. Marketing + outreach (your 7hubent moment) Use 7hubent’s free adverts. Use local posters around Yaba, tech meetups, colleges. Run free taster demo classes. Many will discover you because you appeared in WhatsApp groups.
8. Monitor, collect feedback, iterate After each batch, collect feedback. Pivot curriculum, teaching methods. That’s how you stay relevant and authoritative.

5 Punchy Business Growth Motivations

  1. “Teach what they will pay you for tomorrow.” Don’t teach random tech; teach what industry demands.

  2. “Small class, big impact.” Starting with 5 focused students is better than 50 chaotic ones.

  3. “Your student is your ambassador.” A student with success becomes your billboard.

  4. “Grow fast, break things (but fix fast).” Try small promos, maybe it fails, refine.

  5. “Compound over time.” Each year, your alumni grow and refer new students.
