ABOUT THE ACADEMY

Not Another Online Course. A Real Career Investment.

The internet is full of data courses. Most of them give you videos, a certificate, and nothing else. No feedback. No community. No idea what to do next.

Wikrena Academy was built because that wasn’t good enough for Africa. We run small cohorts; maximum 30 students, where you learn alongside peers, build on real African business data, get direct instructor feedback, and leave with a portfolio project you can actually show an employer.

We don’t stop at graduation. Every student gets 90 days of career support after the program ends. Because the certificate is not the point. The outcome is.

HOW IT WORKS

Simple. Structured. Outcome-Focused.

Every Wikrena Academy program follows the same three-chapter structure, designed so that by the time you finish, you have more than a certificate.

01

Learn

Build the technical foundation — tools, concepts, and " thinking that employers actually need. Live sessions, real datasets, " no-fluff curriculum.

02

Build

Apply everything to a real capstone project in your " industry track. Present it to the cohort and industry guests. " Publish it on GitHub. That's your portfolio.

03

Get Placed

CV review, LinkedIn optimisation, mock interviews, " warm introductions to hiring partners. Then 90 days of post-graduation " support until you land.

"

Before Wikrena, I had no idea what SQL was. Eight weeks in, I was writing queries on real transaction data and presenting dashboards to my team. My manager noticed immediately.

"

The fintech track was exactly what I needed. The datasets felt like work I would actually do on the job. By graduation, my portfolio already showed I understood the domain.

Chris teaches like someone who has actually been where you are. It treats you like a professional in training, not a student in a classroom. That made all the difference.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions.

Still have questions? Email us at help@wikrena.com and we will respond within 24 hours.

No. Both programs are designed to be accessible from scratch. If you can use a smartphone and are willing to learn consistently, you are ready. We start from the foundation and build from there.

The Data Analytics Professional Program is a 12-week deep-dive into data analysis — SQL, Python, Power BI, Excel, and a full industry capstone project. It is for people who want to become data analysts or seriously upskill. The AI Automation Specialist Program is shorter and focused on using AI tools and no-code platforms like Zapier and Make.com to automate workflows. It is for business owners and professionals who want to work smarter without becoming analysts.

Live. Every Wikrena Academy program runs on a live cohort model with weekly sessions, direct instructor access, and peer interaction. We don’t believe pre-recorded videos alone build the kind of skills and accountability that lead to real outcomes.

Sessions are recorded and shared with cohort members. But we encourage consistent attendance because the live interaction, peer feedback, and instructor Q&A are a significant part of what you are paying for.

Yes. The Data Analytics Professional Program is ₦150,000 in full or ₦55,000 per month over 3 months. Email help@wikrena.com to arrange a payment plan before your cohort start date.

You get 90 days of career support — CV review, LinkedIn optimisation, mock interviews, and warm introductions to hiring partners where possible. You also join the Wikrena alumni network for life. If you have completed all program requirements and not landed within 90 days, we extend support at no cost.

READY TO START

The Next Cohort Starts July 7, 2026.

Spots are limited to 45 students per cohort. Once they are gone, the next opening is July 2026.

The Wikrena Commitment

Complete every module, submit your capstone, attend the career sessions. If you have done all three and not landed within 90 days of graduation, we extend your support at no extra cost. We succeed when you succeed.
