Aptech launches AI talent training programme in Nigeria


Aptech Computer Education Nigeria has launched a new all-in-one artificial intelligence career programme aimed at equipping Nigerian learners with job-ready technology skills, structured internship opportunities and clear pathways to international degrees.

The programme, known as ADSE AI, combines AI-powered training, hands-on projects and mentorship with opportunities for eligible students to gain industry exposure through a structured, paid internship scheme. It also offers defined academic progression routes to overseas degree programmes, positioning the initiative as a full classroom-to-career pathway.

According to a statement on Tuesday, the programme embeds AI across the learning journey, enabling students to learn, apply and demonstrate skills through real-world projects and portfolio development. The curriculum blends future-focused content with practical delivery across Aptech centres nationwide.

To support academic advancement, the company said eligible learners can progress to degree programmes through partnerships with institutions including Middlesex University and Bangor University in the UK, Lincoln University College in Malaysia, NCC Education in the UK, and ISM Germany. These pathways allow students to transition from advanced diploma stages to internationally recognised qualifications.

Aptech explained that the ADSE AI curriculum is powered by generative AI and focuses on applying AI to real workflows, including AI-integrated programming, prompt design, model-assisted coding and responsible AI use. Learners are trained in Python, automation, data pipelines, visualisation and cloud fundamentals using AI-enabled tools aligned with modern industry environments.

The programme’s all-in-one structure combines technical skills, internship exposure and academic progression, with an outcome-driven design that includes defined modules, capstone projects and continuous assessments mapped to entry-level and growth roles. Skills acquired are aligned with roles in software development, data operations, cloud support and digital product execution.

Core learning areas include AI-integrated programming, data analytics and visualisation, cloud foundations and modern software engineering practices enhanced by AI tools. Learners can also choose electives such as full-stack development, .NET, Oracle, networking and ethical hacking, AI and machine learning, data science and the Internet of Things.

Internship opportunities, Aptech noted, will be facilitated through partner channels and are subject to eligibility, performance and availability, with an emphasis on transparency and compliance.

Commenting on the launch, Executive Vice President, International Business at Aptech Limited, Kallol Mukherjee, said the initiative reflects the company’s focus on employability.

“At Aptech, our mission is to make students employable with the latest skills and clear outcomes. This holistic programme brings GenAI into the heart of our proven ADSE pathway, adds structured internship opportunities for eligible students, and opens international degree routes so learners can build and succeed faster in the real world,” he said.

The programme targets school leavers, graduates, and working professionals seeking to reskill into software, data, or cloud roles, as well as entrepreneurs and creators looking to leverage AI for rapid prototyping and product development.

Training will be delivered through Aptech’s nationwide network of centres, including locations in Lagos, Abuja and other major cities, with mentoring, counselling and peer collaboration integrated into the learning model. Admissions for the ADSE AI programme are now open across Aptech centres in Nigeria.
