We have always been on the top gear trying to bring to you every verified updates that will guide you to a sustainable career.

If you are a Tech enthusiast, you wish to acquire a tech skill that will pay you forever, this update is for you.

It is very evident that acquiring a tech skill requires deep commitment but the most discouraging factor is the fees charged by so many big tech companies. In the year 2019, I wanted to learn website development, I was just a fresh Polytechnic graduate. After series of online searching, I came across one tech company in Lagos that offers website development course. The fee was over ₦350,000. It was very discouraging. I could not continue because of the charges. 

So many other individuals who claim to teach for cheaper price only touches the superficial aspects of the skill and allow you wallow in dark looking for where to make it up.

After series of searches, I have come up with the list of verified and trusted platforms that would help you navigate to a successful career in the tech world.

4. CodeAcademy.

Code academy is also a wonderful platform to acquire programming skills like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, C#, C++ and many more but from my analysis, most of their courses are not free. Unlike Udemy and YouTube where one can access multiple advanced resources without fees. It is very good though in teaching delivery with instructor's personalized Assistance.
