Hi everyone, does anyone know the best school/institute to learn java in lagos? Putting into consideration a reasonable tuition fee, best teachers, good location, international recognition, best infrastructures etc

I'll really appreciate suggestions from the learned nairaland IT community.
Tnx.

Go to New Horizon in Ikeja. It's behind Awolowo house. They're really good.

Yup. They are good

Putting into consideration a reasonable tuition fee

be ready to pay above 100k.its likely.

best teachers

pray that you meet a guy that knows java there.my advice is to have the mindset that what you are gonna get there is some direction while 80% of the learning will be done by you.also try to get to see the applications your trainer has got before he begins to teach what he doesnt practice probably recanting some text without really knowing what it means.

good location

around the oba akran ikeja,new horizons,niit,afrihub,first logic and more


international recognition,

your trainer should be OCJP certified atleast or got some softwares to show for his fame or/and even good on programming challenge sites vis-a-vis his knowlegde of algorithms


goodluck as you become a programmer in a years time.

I am curious about java Education also and i have heard alot about NIIT and their Java classes, anybody with info about them especially their Interview and pay structure for tutors.

As a computer science graduate from O.O.U and a certified programmer here in the U.S, I can tell you that Nigerian schools are crap when it comes to learning a programming language. If you lack previous experience in programming then I suggest you start with BASIC or C programming but if you are experienced in programming then you can continue with Java, the best way to learn Java is online, there are many Ebooks and online videos that takes you through Java step by step, instead of you spending 100k to 150k at one of those Lagos schools, you can master Java at your own pace online. Just search google for free Java tutorials for beginners and you should be okay, youtube is also an excellent place for free java tutorials.

This post have said many of the things i will like to say however i will advice you agains going to NIIT for any thing o! They are just corporate scammer please abeg o!

You want to pay someone to spoonfeed you. Most people who know java thought themselves, why don't you do the same

@paniki
Not everyone has the capacity to learn java on their own especially if they're new to programming or scripting.

Instead of those indian institutes, i'd rather go there and get the skills cos its far more cheaper there. Checkout zwww.zoomgroup.com/ where fees charged here for 100-200k are just merely 15k or 20k. I agree with tha on youtube, ive got some specialty and skills via online video tutorial via youtube. Goodluck on your quest of being a programmer

Get a good broad band internet connection

Download internet download manager

Go to the following sites

mediafireunlimited.com

warez-bb.org

teh-paradox.com

look for java on there search bars and rape the download button.


Or better still,get java videos at computer village for a worst case scenario 2k.

Computer schools won't teach you anything like the step by step videos.

how r u sure someone new to programming will understand when being instructed?? the person can start with basic or fortran and den move up, on his/her own, some of these schools can b a letdown

true talk

go to Aptech expensive, but the best in Nigeria.

come to NIIT IKEJA, and you will be stunned at what you can learn from java.

NIIT ko HIV ni. Abeg, whatever you do, don't go to NIIT. They're one of the worst places you can learn anything IT. Try New Horizon or APTECH.

NIIT Worst! KarRox 'Super worst'!
They are all rubbish.

But APTECH is still okay but very very expensive

I went to APTECH and my brother New Horizon, the difference is heaven and earth, APTECH is faaaaar  better, now he wants to go to Aptech too. APTECH always, APTECH rules, go to APTECH.


Above all no school can really teach you they can only lay a foundation, to go far you are the one that will train and re-train yourself, soak yourself in deep search for more and more IT knowledge /skills, network and interact with other IT pple! So with a good foundation you can drive yourself to greater IT exploits.

Firstlogic would have been nice but the best guy on java there (Boye) has been transferred to their island office. I started with the guy but finished with someone else which make the whole learn a scrap.

good material though.

Hello All,

I read through the comments, most are true.
Simply be careful to create a good foundation.
Programming is all about foundation. Understand and understand the foundation,
then you can relate to all terminologies and process you will come across.

Good luck, youtube is always a good source for learning. cheers

Please i need the address to Aptech..can anyone help with me it..would be very greatful.

Please cme to my school,MIT Solutions. 360 rd muritala mohammed way yaba,we r d best in lagos,currently,I train Oracle java from se to enterprise edition,I'm proud to say One of Oracle masters in africa of which.there r only four,trains Oracle there,I wrk wit him ,java/Oracle.

N.b: did I mention I went to niit and cldnt afford al d fees so I dropped out? I sleep,eat,live java now.

My cousin will stop at nothing to becoming a guru in programming. He has thought himself html, css, jquery, and a bit of php but right now he is so obsessed with it all...he wants a very brillient place in Nigeria or India to help him achieve his goal. Anyone know a place like that? Preferably India/ Philippine

iQube offers training on several skill set e.g Programming on her Skill Devlopment Platform for as low as N5000

not relly ill-advice dude,... I write programes with c#, yet am not a computer science student, although i've been to some schools (APTECH<Studied Networking>, NIGERPET<studied programming> but based on what they taught me at nigerpet, i would not been able to write a single programme, it get videos from youtube and develope ma self. U can also get guide from pragimtech.com and help ur self instead of dashing out money to some1. Sekina.

why not enroll at Aptech (ACCP), after two years, u'll b certified by aptech and with the certificate, u'll join any school (university) at india, Australia, England, Ukraine or Asia.. And just for 1 year you get their certificate(B.sc) and there you go.

#ma little quota#

Well I only have this to contribute here. I think d NIIT, APTECH NEW HORIZON are just big names. What I have tasted, I will be so authoritative to say they are good. It's at Oniwaya bus/stop along capitol road,
Agege. It's called ASHRAAF TECHNOLOGIES. There u'll meet Prgmr Abdullatif Abdullahi. Reach him on 08033686154

If u need certificate go to school, but that won't make u a pro. But if u need d real knowledge pick a book like Paul Deitel or wrox 'how to program' and alot of google search, site like codeproject, msdn is very rich in content though it is basic microsoft's language like f# c# vb.net and others like c++, javascript. That is how i learnt mine and i am really doing good.
