Nice to meet you
We’re not just another online school. We’re a movement.
About us
We provide an innovative and contemporary approach that addresses a world full of challenges and opportunities.

Our story
In our very first cohort, we’ve already helped over 200 learners break into tech and kickstart their careers.
At Techpye, we’re on a mission to make tech education affordable, practical, and accessible for young Africans. We know the ambition is there; we’re just here to provide the opportunity.
We do this by ditching boring lectures for real-world projects, 1-on-1 mentorship, and actual industry experience. By the time you graduate, you won’t just have a certificate, you’ll have a stunning portfolio that proves exactly what you can do.

Our mentors are professionals thriving in their sectors all around the world.

We are a dedicated social enterprise committed to expanding educational access and creating a profound impact for millions of learners worldwide.
We envision an Africa where every youth can compete globally in technology and innovation.
To empower Nigerian youth with essential digital skills, paving the way for technological proficiency and innovation in the global arena.
We aim to make tech education accessible and practical for every young person eager to create, build, and innovate.
At Techpye, learning doesn’t stop at theory. We take every learner through a guided journey that blends practical experience, mentorship, and community support — ensuring that every graduate is ready to make real impact from day one.
Our curriculum goes beyond theory, focusing on practical, hands-on experience. Learners develop not only technical skills, but also the ability to effectively share their knowledge with others, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation.
By training youth leaders from diverse backgrounds, we empower them to become multipliers. They collaborate with us to extend our reach, educating more individuals within their own communities, creating a ripple effect of digital literacy.
We cultivate vibrant communities where hundreds of eager young learners support and inspire each other on their tech journeys. Our supportive environment provides the resources and encouragement they need to thrive and make a lasting impact.
Each learner is paired with an industry mentor; a designer, developer, or data expert actively shaping Africa’s tech ecosystem. Mentors review projects, provide real-time feedback, and help learners grow not just as students, but as professionals.
Whether you are launching a new career or scaling to the next level, Techpye is the only platform you need to learn, connect, and grow.
We measure success by your transformation, not our enrollment. We simplify your path to a high-impact tech career through three core pillars:

Our Journey
In early 2024, a simple waitlist link began to circulate through WhatsApp groups, community hubs, and DMs. No ads. No influencers. Just word of mouth.
206 people had signed up, organically, from 20+ Nigerian states and even Botswana. This was Techpye’s first cohort, a diverse group of learners, 46% women.

Our values
Our shared values keep us connected and guide us as one team.
We believe opportunity belongs to everyone, not just those who can afford it. Techpye exists to break financial and geographic barriers, bringing quality tech education to learners in every community.
At Techpye, we teach through practice, because the best way to understand technology is to build with it. Our learners work on real projects, solve real problems, and build portfolios that prove their abilities long before graduation.
Behind every successful Techpye learner is a mentor who cared. Our mentors are real professionals; designers, analysts, founders who share experience, encouragement, and feedback that transforms learners to professionals.
Techpye empowers learners to think critically, design intentionally, and innovate responsibly. Our goal isn’t just to teach the latest tools, it’s to nurture creators who solve meaningful problems and drive Africa’s digital transformation.
We believe success means nothing without ethics. From teamwork to project delivery, honesty, accountability, and respect define how we learn, lead, and collaborate. Integrity is not just taught here, it’s lived.
Techpye is more than a school, it’s a community. We celebrate collaboration over competition and believe that progress is a shared journey. Our alumni, mentors, and learners stay connected, creating a network of lifelong support, inspiration, and opportunities.
