You can earn a Train the Trainer certification in Nigeria — often called Training of Trainers (TOT) — through Bodhih's 4-day Certified TTT program, delivered in-house in Lagos, Abuja or any Nigerian city, as a dedicated online batch timed to West Africa Time (4.5 hours behind India), or at an India open batch. Fees are in NGN or USD on request; batches are capped at 15.

Online timing: West Africa Time vs IST
West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1) is 4.5 hours behind India Standard Time, and neither country changes clocks. A 9:00 AM–6:00 PM IST online day would run from 4:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Lagos and Abuja — not realistic for four consecutive days. That is why Nigerian groups usually take a dedicated online batch scheduled to WAT office hours, or an in-house classroom batch. See how live delivery works on the online TTT page.
Who needs trainer skills in Nigeria
Nigeria's large, young workforce and fast-growing service sectors mean organisations are constantly onboarding and upskilling people — and most of that training is delivered by internal experts rather than professional trainers.
- Banking and financial services in Lagos run their own academies and continuous product, compliance and customer-service training across branch networks.
- Telecoms and fintech onboard sales agents, retail staff and support teams at speed as products change.
- Oil, gas and energy, centred on Lagos and Port Harcourt, depend on HSE and technical trainers.
- FMCG and manufacturing train field sales, distributors and plant teams across the states.
- Public sector and development programmes in Abuja — federal ministries, agencies, development partners and NGOs — rely heavily on TOT to roll out capacity-building nationwide.
In each case the TOT model only works if the first layer of trainers is genuinely skilled. Read our guide to Training of Trainers (TOT) for how to protect quality as content is cascaded.
Lagos vs Abuja: different training needs
Lagos demand is mainly corporate: bank academies, telecom and fintech onboarding, sales enablement and HSE. Here the priority is speed to proficiency and consistency across branches. In Abuja, much demand comes from government and development work, where trainers must facilitate participatory sessions for mixed audiences, manage strong opinions and report outcomes to funders. The Bodhih program covers both — experiential design and difficult-participant handling for one, Kirkpatrick evaluation for the other.
ITF and the Bodhih credential
Nigeria's Industrial Training Fund (ITF) administers a training levy on qualifying employers. The Bodhih Certified Trainer credential is a professional skills certification from Bodhih Training Solutions; Bodhih does not claim ITF approval or levy reimbursement for this program. If levy treatment matters to your budget, confirm the current rules with the ITF.
Who attends from Nigeria
Typical participants include bank academy faculty, HR and L&D officers, sales and product trainers, engineers and HSE officers who teach colleagues, public-service trainers, programme officers running TOTs for development projects, and independent consultants. There are no formal prerequisites, so experienced facilitators and first-time trainers can attend together. Each participant works on content they actually deliver, so the four days end with a redesigned module ready for use in Lagos, Abuja or anywhere your teams are.
What the program includes
The Bodhih Certified Train The Trainer (TTT) Program covers adult learning (andragogy, Kolb, Bloom's Taxonomy), ADDIE and Training Needs Analysis, experiential activity design and storytelling, platform skills and virtual training, and Kirkpatrick's four levels. Your Day 1 and Day 4 deliveries are recorded, and you leave with a redesigned module, a verifiable credential ID and a LinkedIn badge. See the curriculum.
In-house TTT for Nigerian organisations
An in-house batch is the natural choice for a bank academy, telecom, manufacturer or agency: your venue, your dates and practice on your own modules. Bodhih also offers instructional design for trainers for teams that build e-learning or blended programmes. See the corporate Train the Trainer page for how in-house programs are scoped.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bodhih's Train the Trainer program available in Lagos or Abuja?
Yes, as an in-house batch at your organisation's venue in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt or elsewhere in Nigeria, as a live online batch, or by travelling to an open batch in Mumbai or Bengaluru. No public open batch in Nigeria is currently announced. Email solutions@bodhih.com or call +91 99000 11601 to discuss options.
What does a Training of Trainers course cost in Nigeria?
Fees for Nigerian participants are shared on request in NGN or USD, depending on format, location and group size. An in-house quote covers a full batch of up to 15 participants, which usually makes it the most economical route for organisations. Email solutions@bodhih.com with your city, dates and number of trainers.
Is the program ITF-approved or reimbursable?
No ITF approval or reimbursement is claimed. Nigeria's Industrial Training Fund (ITF) administers a training levy on qualifying employers. The Bodhih Certified Trainer credential is a professional skills certification issued by Bodhih Training Solutions. If you want to treat the program as levy-related training, confirm the current rules with the ITF before you budget.
What time would online sessions be in Nigeria?
West Africa Time (UTC+1) is 4.5 hours behind India, so a 9:00 AM–6:00 PM IST day would run 4:30 AM–1:30 PM in Lagos — impractical for most people. For Nigerian groups, Bodhih can arrange a dedicated online batch timed to West African working hours. Individuals should ask about suitable batches when they enquire.
Who in Nigerian organisations should attend?
Typical participants are bank academy faculty, HR and L&D staff, sales and product trainers, engineers and HSE officers who teach colleagues, public-service trainers, programme officers running TOTs for development projects, and independent consultants. There are no formal prerequisites, so experienced facilitators and first-time trainers can attend together.
Can we combine trainers from Lagos and Abuja in one batch?
Yes. One in-house batch can bring together trainers from several offices, either at a single venue or as a live online batch timed to WAT. Combining locations helps standardise how your programmes are taught nationwide. Batches are capped at 15 so every participant gets enough practice and feedback.
