ECOSTECH trains university ICT staff in the practical skills campuses actually need: video and content production for virtual lectures, WordPress site management, and CBT exam scheduling: hands-on, cohort-based, delivered on your own equipment, so the work stays in-house after we leave.

The problem
Outsourcing a lecture recording does not build a department.
Most university ICT units can keep the network running, but video editing, website updates and exam-day logistics routinely get pushed out to a vendor, a favourite final-year student, or whoever happens to be free. It works, until that person is unavailable, travelling, or the invoice is overdue.
Training the unit once removes the bottleneck for good. The same staff who already hold campus access, login credentials and institutional knowledge start handling the requests that used to leave the university, with no new hires and no new vendor contract.

✓Only 10% of requests still need outside help: the edge cases. Average turnaround drops to about 2 working days, and every trained staff member can cover for another.

How a cohort runs
Five steps. One cohort.
01 / 05
What we teach
Six tracks. Four of them running now.
Every track is built around the systems your university already owns: the smart boards and laptops in the ICT lab, the CBT platform the exams unit already licenses, the WordPress install the website already runs on.

In the room
What a cohort actually looks like.
Why it fits
Built for the Nigerian university system, not a generic IT bootcamp.

01
Works with the ICT unit you already have
No new hires. We train the staff who already hold campus access, login credentials and the trust of their departments.
02
Fits around TETFund and NUC realities
Cohorts are scheduled around the academic calendar and the procurement cycles your bursary already works with.
03
Low-bandwidth, offline-friendly materials
Every module ships as a downloadable guide too, because campus internet is not always dependable.
04
Facilitators who have done the job
Trainers have built virtual-lecture systems, managed WordPress sites and run CBT exam halls themselves.
Plain about scope
Plain about what ECOSTECH is, and what it is not.
ECOSTECH is not
- × a staffing agency
- × a software vendor
- × a replacement for your ICT unit
- × an accredited degree-awarding institution
- × a one-off workshop with no follow-up
- × a certificate mill
- × limited to one university
- × only for “tech-savvy” staff
- × a guarantee of specific results
