Online EV training for learners in Nigeria
Nigeria is moving away from petrol through both gas conversion and electric vehicles. Our EV course for Nigeria is online, so engineers, okada mechanics and transport founders can learn from any state. Live classes follow Indian Standard Time and recordings stay on the portal.
Our admissions team replies by email or WhatsApp with fees, payment options for your country and the next batch dates.

EV skills in Nigeria
The federal government is pushing compressed natural gas and electric vehicles at the same time. Under the Presidential CNG Initiative, conversion centres grew from seven to about 300 across 24 states by August 2025, according to the programme's coordinator.
Electric vehicles are earlier in their growth. In December 2025 the Federal Executive Council approved a N58 billion contract for 200 electric buses for the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC). Battery-swapping motorcycle firms such as Spiro have also entered the market.
The 200-bus contract for NADDC was approved alongside the Nigerian Industrial Policy 2025, which lists sustainability and green growth among its pillars.
Officials linked a March 2025 electric bus launch to a goal of 30% growth in electric mobility under the National Automotive Industrial Development Plan.
Spiro announced Nigerian operations in 2024, starting in Abeokuta and naming Ibadan, Lagos and Abuja among its target cities.
Many workshops now handle CNG conversions. The same shift away from petrol is opening room for electric servicing skills.

Who it is for
Mechanics who repair okadas and kekes can learn electric drive, battery and charger faults through CEVT.
The EV business nanodegree covers fleet economics, charging and battery swapping models, and running an EV service business.
Graduates and working engineers can use nd-electrical or nd-battery-bms to build modelling and battery design skills.
If you already install solar or inverters, the battery and BMS nanodegree builds on what you know.
Studying from Nigeria
Apply from Nigeria, and our admissions team shares the fees, payment options and batch dates for your country.
Join live classes with EV engineers, then go back to recorded lessons, notes and quizzes whenever you need them.
Work through design calculations, simulations and projects. An optional DIY hardware kit lets you practise on a real control board at home; ask the team about shipping to your country.
Some programmes include hands-on workshops at our centres in India for work on batteries, motors, controllers and diagnostics.
Finish the projects and assessments to earn your certificate, with a verification link you can share with employers.
Certificates
We could not verify a national EV technician licence in Nigeria. Bus operators, motorcycle brands and fleet owners set their own rules on who may handle high-voltage batteries. Our certificate confirms you completed the training; it is not a licence for high-voltage work.
FAQs
Yes. Everything from live classes to assessments happens online on our portal.
India is 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of Nigeria all year. An evening class in India is early afternoon in Nigeria, and recordings cover sessions you miss.
Many learners use mobile data. Recorded lessons let you watch when your signal or data bundle allows, but you still need to be online to stream them.
Mechanics usually take CEVT, engineers choose a 6-month nanodegree, and founders take the EV business nanodegree.
The electronics and embedded kit is sold separately; ask the team about shipping to Nigeria. Hands-on workshops are held only in India.
The admissions team shares fees and payment options for your country once you send an enquiry.
Live classes are scheduled in Indian Standard Time, and Nigeria is 4 hours 30 minutes behind India (IST). A class at 7:00 pm IST starts at 2:30 pm your time. Most sessions are recorded to your learner portal, so you can catch up when a class falls outside your hours.
Professional Certification Programmes run for about 3 months, the CEVT technician programme 3 months, Advanced Nanodegrees 6 months and the Post Graduate programme 12 months.
We do not run a campus in Nigeria. The programmes are taught live online, so you can join from anywhere in Nigeria; hands-on workshops, where a programme includes them, take place at our centres in India.
