Training pathway

From entry level to NSQ Level 9, one stage at a time

One level = 9 months of training, plus entrepreneurship and mentorship throughout.

The nine levels

Levels follow the NSQ framework. Each level builds on the one before it, and a learner can stop and be certified at any graduation.

Entrepreneurship and mentorship

Every stage carries entrepreneurship classes, a business mentor and a small practical project, so a learner leaves with a trade and a way to earn from it.

Graduate and be certified

Receive the level certificate, join the artisan registry and start taking jobs on the marketplace.

Graduate and advance

Continue into the next NSQ level, with your certificate recognised as the entry requirement.

Graduate into TVET progression

Move into a TVET institution pathway for formal NSQ assessment, trainer track or centre leadership.

TVET institutions

TVET centers deliver the pathway and set the fees for their own trades. Fees go through HybridTeck review before they are published, so learners always see approved amounts.

Institutional registration

Centers register by paying the ₦150,000 institutional fee, or free when they hold an active Silver or Gold membership.

Approved training fees

Set per level and stage by registered TVET centers, approved by HybridTeck admin. Members pay the discounted rate shown on the right.

Fees are published once approved

TVET centers submit school, consumable and other fees per level. HybridTeck admin reviews and approves them, then the approved amount appears here for learners and sponsors.
