A few words about your competitors

While there is a handful of competition, only a few offers standard training.

Center4Tech, WTECH, and WAAW Foundation are the ones on the top list. This companies charge ranges between 100 – 350 USD per student for a course. Majority of their courses are focused on electronics and not so much of engineering or mathematics.

Their offices are located in the suburb of Lagos. In addition, most of their training are organized only through summer coaching and is more of a once in a year or at most twice in a year program. These organizations alongside several others are shot on staffs as you have a teacher taking more than one course. Above all, they are overly dependent on really expensive tools and component for their hands-on thereby increasing the tuition.
