Hi fellow nairalanders, there's a computer institute that runs a couple of programs here in abuja, and uhm, I'm about to enroll for one of those programs. What I'm about to go for includes; desktop and laptop computer hardware and software solutions, schematics diagram analysis and solutions, and reprogramming; the fee is 250$. I know these packages are relevant, but can someone tell me where I can apply this knowledge upon completion of the training, and if you consider the fee much for it, where can I get a cheaper one around town?. If also someone can as well, sacrifice his/her time to explain what reprogramming and schematics mean, i'd be glad, I searched google, but wasn't satisfied with what i got, thanks.

Hello @PModes,

I'll throw a few questions at you and hopefully that should guide you.

What if you start with the end in mind? Do you want to become a Software Engineer or a Hardware Engineer? Each of these areas have vast amounts of knowledge that can be acquired. I suggest you picture yourself applying for a remote job from a company outside Nigeria, which of the skills offered by the $250 program will be relevant to your job quest?

Please let me know and hopefully I can shed more light into the subject.

Cheers
