TS Academy (Tech Sphere Academy), an African edtech platform dedicated to helping African tech talent build job-ready digital and tech skills, has been officially accredited by the American Council of Training and Development (ACTD).

The accreditation comes as the Academy introduces new courses designed to help more Africans build practical, job-ready skills in AI & Automation, DevOps Engineering, Software Engineering, Product Design, Cybersecurity, Project Management and Data Analytics, with each course is designed to close the skill gap between learning and employment, with mentorship, practical projects, and assessments forming a central part of the experience.

Speaking on the development, Adetola Durojaiye, Founder of Tech Sphere Academy, said the recognition validates the Academy’s commitment to providing world-class learning for African talent.

This recognition means a lot to us because it shows that our work is aligned with global standards. And our focus is to ensure that African tech talent can compete confidently in the international job market, and that starts with proper training, real mentorship, and the right opportunities.” Durojaiye said.

With its newly earned accreditation, Tech Sphere Academy plans to deepen partnerships with employers and tech communities, creating more channels for learners to access work opportunities and career development support across the continent.

To make learning accessible, the Academy launched a scholarship program worth one billion naira, which has already provided 3,000 Africans with fully funded access to its digital and tech training courses. The scholarship aims to remove financial barriers and create pathways for young people eager to transition into tech careers.

We’re very intentional about making sure access isn’t limited to those who can afford it. We want every learner who joins us to get more than training; we want our students to be connected to mentors, communities, and opportunities that help them grow without having to break the bank,” Durojaiye added.

TS Academy’s programs combine live instruction with practical projects, career guidance, and internship support to ensure students can apply what they learn in work environments. The Academy also maintains an active alumni network that connects learners to internship placements, job openings, and collaborative projects with partner companies.

The new ACTD accreditation strengthens TS Academy’s credibility and opens new doors for global partnerships. The Academy says it plans to expand its presence across Africa through local tech communities and employer networks that support young professionals looking to enter or advance in the tech industry.

I applied for their so‑called _free_ scholarship, but I was later asked to pay over ₦20,000 for something that was advertised as free.

I’m still getting email reminders about the money 😂.

It’s not fair — they’re misleading people, inviting them to class and then using email reminders to kpai them.

Hardeybohwarley:
How much is the application fee compare to the course fee. Almost every organisation does that to bring in only committed students.

I applied, got the scholarship and paid it as well.

Imagine if there was no scholarship.

chipet67:
26k is not my problem. This is not the first scholarship I have applied for and won. The ones with a fee attached is made known. If I so love the service, I'd go ahead and register.

The challenge is not being transparent about the process.

Hardeybohwarley:
I once applied to AltschoolAfrica with the thought that there will be a scholarship, and surprisingly it came with an application fee as well. I tell you almost all EdTech company will require application fee.

chipet67:
One influencer advertised their scholarship that it was 100% free. I applied and was selected, but told to pay 26k registration fee. Since then, I fear them.
If they are not connected to that fraud, pls they should speak, a lot of people are complaining.

chipet67:
They should state it from the onset.

If only you know how expensive it is to do tech courses, you won't be saying this. I also applied and had to sacrifice the token for it. Some Edtech charge between 200k - 500k depending on the brand. 20k + is nothing compared to building skills for your future. Best of luck buddy. Infact, some beneficiaries are already winning laptops and other prices in the program. They are very legit and we that registered last month's cohort have started our classes

Hardeybohwarley:
I paid my application fee last year and I was supposed to start class today but due to some reasons, the commencement of the class has been shifted to January 31st

Dupzy401:
ooo thanks you so much have just paid mine hopefully I will start by 31st of this month I hope to see you in class.

aktolly54:
If it's scholarship, why was it given everyone who applied? It seems they give it to everybody that applies

Hardeybohwarley:
I think it's their way of giving back to the community.

And it's not everybody, someone close to me applied and she wasn't given.

I even did the process for her.

Ex0rrcist:
How’s it going now, you must have enrolled for the 31st of January class. How was their teaching, is it worth it?

Cc: dupzy401, Isaac12425

Hardeybohwarley:
I have started the class since last month. But I'm not really serious about it anymore.

Ex0rrcist:
Why? It didn’t meet your expectations or you got really busy.

Olachase:
This people have been bombing my email with registration fee, something you call free
