Technology training

Courses in software development, data and digital skills, taught in person at the Bitnox Event Space in Abeokuta and online. Course listings, dates and enrolment are handled by Bitnox Education.

Eight weeks of a course. Teaching stops in week five and everyone starts building something of their own.

What Technology Training covers

  • Software development and programming
  • Data analysis and reporting
  • Digital skills for the workplace
  • Corporate and team training
  • In-person classes and online cohorts

What we usually walk into

A certificate, and nothing anybody can build on Monday

Most technology training ends with a certificate and nothing built. People finish able to follow along in a lesson and still stuck when they open a blank screen on Monday.

For teams it is worse. Staff are sent on a general course that covers the tool but not the way your organisation uses it, and nothing about the work changes when they come back.

  • The course covered the tool, not the way your team uses it
  • Everyone followed along, and nobody can start from a blank screen
  • The team came back and the process did not change
  • One person now knows the system and everybody else still asks them
  • No way to tell who actually learned anything
  • Skills half the room already had were paid for again

What you end up with

People who can do the task, and something they built to prove it

Classes are built around work people do afterwards. Everyone leaves having built something, with the notes, the files and the repository to carry on from.

Team training is scoped against your own systems and processes, so what is taught on the Friday is used on the Monday, and there is an assessment at the end that says what changed.

Scope

What is included in Technology Training

Every line below is scoped in writing before anything starts, so the quote and this list say the same thing. Anything found later is priced as a change rather than absorbed and delivered late.

Ask for a scope
01Software development and programming
Web development with JavaScript and React, backend work with Node.js and Python, databases, version control, and getting a project deployed and running.
02Data analysis and reporting
Spreadsheets past the basics, SQL, dashboards, and the monthly reporting managers keep asking for, taught against real figures rather than sample data.
03Digital skills for the workplace
The everyday tools an office runs on, plus the security habits that stop a shared password from becoming an incident.
04Corporate and team training
Scoped against your systems, delivered at your office or in the Event Space, with a short assessment at the end so you can see what the days bought you.
05In-person classes and online cohorts
Abeokuta classes run in the Bitnox Event Space, which seats sixty. Online cohorts are taught live, with recordings for anyone who misses a session.

How it runs

What working with us on this looks like

The same order every time, so at any point you know what has happened and what comes next.

  1. What the team has to be able to do

    A short conversation about the tasks people are meant to handle afterwards. The gap between that and what they can do now is the syllabus.

  2. A syllabus written to that gap

    You see the outline, the hours and the projects before anything is booked, and you can cut whatever your team already knows.

  3. Delivery, in person or online

    At your office, in the Event Space or live online. Groups are kept small enough that the trainer can look at everybody's screen.

  4. Projects and assessment

    Everyone builds something, and everyone is assessed on it. You get the results, not only an attendance list.

  5. Follow-up

    A session a few weeks later on what people hit once they were doing the work for real, which is where most of the questions actually appear.

The brief behind a team booking: what the group can already do, and what is left to teach.

Questions

Technology Training questions we are asked

If yours is not here, ask it. We answer enquiries within one to two working days, and a question answered before a quote saves both of us a fortnight.
