Our Courses

ReTrain’s online and interactive courses, live from Canada, reskill and upskill people with future-focused education for career advancement & access to global job opportunities.

We are driving change by development of career certifications and micro-credentials. Our goal is to allow associates to rapidly develop in-demand skills and take them into the marketplace, with a turnaround of weeks rather than years. Our innovative approach of using Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) as proofs of certification allows employers to quickly check a graduate’s certifications.

Unlike most post-secondary institutions, we do not require prior academic achievements or credentials. Our methods capitalise on individual life skills and ability.

With a growing list of industry-leading courses in fields like applied technology, cybersecurity and data analytics, our learners are able to develop life-altering skills and competencies, attain certification and answer the need of businesses for latest in-demand skills.

I’d like to use this opportunity to thank Sean and Skye. They both did an amazing job. Talking about the learning, Sean was absolutely fantastic and he is highly recommended. I’d also like to thank Manpower for the support given to us. Indeed, we learned and enjoyed ourselves.

In late 2021 and early 2022, I completed a 12-week Cybersecurity training program through ReTrain, earning my Applied Cyber Penetration Testing and Cyber Foundation and Quality Assurance Testing certificates. My mentors, Darren and Sean, were great and I really enjoyed my time with them.

I had the best time in Sean and Skye’s class. I didn’t think we would be exposed to this much information in such a short period of time, but it was the best thing that happened to me. I learned so much and appreciate the instructors and classmates too.

My experience so far with ReTrain is a very positive one. The flow of the courses was well put together from basics of information and network security to relevant programming languages, and then to hands-on penetration testing and vulnerability assessments using multiple industry standard tools. We reviewed cybersecurity news daily to have a good understanding of current threat actors and their practices. Darren is very thorough and always willing to explain the penetration testing methodologies to us.

I enjoyed studying at ReTrain, where you can learn practical skills that can help you understand and become familiar with different areas. For me personally, the biggest challenge is that you need to understand and master a lot of content in a short period of time, which requires you to be able to think thoroughly and face the problems you encounter with a positive attitude, but also to know how to work as a team and brainstorm with your classmates to overcome the problems together.

I enjoyed studying at ReTrain. It is wonderful for learning and the atmosphere is good. I am pleased with the program coordinator and assistant; both are a great team. They both take their time paying attention to the student whenever we are having difficulties in our [studies] and they ensure the problems are resolved before going ahead with training. I will say the experience I got from this training will surely pave the way for me in the world of cybersecurity.

A highly relevant course delivered efficiently, with a good balance between the theory and practice of cybersecurity/penetration testing. The relatively short duration was adequately managed and is excellent for immigrants to achieve continuity in their professional lives and to settle down quicker in Canada. The course kept a good overview on current industry news. The external presenters and subject matter experts (internal and external) and the employer in-person engagement that was held on Nov. 17 all contributed to enrich the learning experience. The virtual format of this particular cohort and the class video/audio recordings are two great ideas! There is excellent support for employment (resume techniques, networking, volunteering advice etc.) and integration in the Canadian tech employment space.

I have found to be extremely informative. The hands-on approach is extremely helpful for those of us who are visual learners. To be able to work on procedures and review the class videos at my convenience, made the lightbulb go on, figuratively speaking. I feel this course is something that everyone should have. I like that the fact that the information is current and relevant to a wide range of subject matter and applicable to many jurisdictions. The instructor, Darren, is well-versed in the subjects as well as being an industry member. Information found in this course is very carefully researched and well communicated. Overall, I think it’s a good introduction to cybersecurity, pen testing, and open-source researching. I have learned a lot.

The last twelve weeks with ReTrain have been amazing, I totally enjoyed learning for Sean, Skye, and my course mates. I gained a lot of new knowledge and greatly improved my research, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills. Being a part of this penetration testing cohort gave me an opportunity to learn about penetration testing on Kali Linux, networking, bash, PowerShell scripting, etc. Each are highly sought-after skills in the cybersecurity industry as the rate of cyber-attacks are on the rise. The morning news was a great opportunity to learn about the current trends in the industry. I am excited about the future and look forward to a rewarding career in cybersecurity.

I must confess that at the beginning, I was sceptical about this course. But once we started this journey, I realized that it was very interesting, and the program was full of different topics and events. I was lucky to get some technical mentoring with Sean and Skye. They both are professionals and simply amazing and friendly people who know what they are talking about. The format and the learning environment are on the best level, I was able to learn more than I thought, and I gained a lot of information every single day I spent in the class. I am also grateful to ReTrain for organizing a meeting and presentation for students with leading companies and their representatives, where we had the opportunity to ask questions and receive important information directly from the representatives of the companies. I really appreciated the chance that I could have this experience with ReTrain.

Thanks so much for your very valuable training. I really enjoyed it and appreciated that the instructors made it fun. I feel much better prepared to deal with uncomfortable issues in information and communication technology/cybersecurity. Thank you for your wisdom, experience, and personable presentation. I felt the training was a very enriching and practical addition to my toolbox of skills and knowledge. We covered in-depth, in a very real and pragmatic way, a wide breadth of topics associated with human relationships in workplaces. Thanks for helping me accomplish my goals.

During this short period, Sean and Skye put in their best, imparting so much knowledge in us and I am ready to make them proud in my future endeavors. The training was very interesting and I learned a lot. Sean and Skye are both very helpful and always support us whenever we are stuck. The topics in this course are very well structured.

Learning cybersecurity with ReTrain has been great. I learned lots in a short time. This is great for me because I need to get to work ASAP. I feel confident and ready to get into the cybersecurity field. At ReTrain, I learned cybersecurity skills in pen testing and more. The instructor and assistant instructor were very helpful and supportive. I am looking forward to the micro training that is offered afterwards, so I can be ready to serve my country. Thank you so much for all the teams involved in making this possible for us.

To begin with, I was late to sign-up for this course and not even in my slightest of dreams did I think of what I would miss had I not been part of this cohort. At the very beginning, Mariam the program coordinator, had been so helpful throughout our process. With Natalie and Christine, we learned to be confident and how we could overcome the difficulties we all were going through. Then came Sean and Skye, we wouldn’t have got anything or anybody better than these two cyber-geniuses. The course was so systematically laid out week-by-week and how easily Sean helped us learn everything – it was commendable. I didn’t even think that I would one day learn to pen test using so many tools. In all, ReTrain gave us a package filled with positivity, confidence, learning new things, taking up the challenge, and to never give up – to shape our future in Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer flexible and affordable tech training programmes to position you for high-earning jobs. We research global employment trends and with our modular and micro-credentials approach, quickly upskill or reskill you for jobs that global employers are hiring for, to have you earning a competitive wage shortly after graduation. After graduation, we also place you in our alumni programme, where you will frequently interact with fellow graduates to sharpen each other’s skills and connect on opportunities.

ReTrain Canada is a founding partner of ReTrain Nigeria. All course materials are developed by ReTrain Canada (with input from our local team). All courses are hosted and delivered remotely by our mentor team from ReTrain Global’ s head office in Alberta, Canada.

We encourage you to engage with a ReTrain career consultant who will consider your background, knowledge, expectations and career goals to advise appropriately.

Literacy + good knowledge and command of English language is essential, as this is the language of instruction for all our courses. Prior tertiary qualifications are not mandatory. However, we advise that you study prerequisites and discuss any concerns with a ReTrain career consultant before signing up.

All our course timelines are crafted for market demand and specifically designed to accommodate student preferences (part-time or full-time, weekdays or weekends, time of day, etc.). Course durations range from 1 week to 12 months (depending on the course). We ask that you share your preferences with your ReTrain career consultant and indicate these on your application. This will enable us to design an appropriate timetable and place you in a suitable programme. Course duration estimates can be found in the Courses section.

We offer true value-for-money by utilising skilled and experienced mentors, market-related content, smaller class sizes to ensure meaningful engagement and work or internship programmes through our global partners. Costs depend on specific programmes and several factors including subject matter, student preferences, time, duration, etc.

Costs are advertised once a programme is confirmed. However, ReTrain career consultants are often in a position to provide estimates, prior to programme confirmation. We understand that affordability is often a concern in the peculiarly challenging environment of Nigeria. As such, we offer payment plans and periodically provide grants and scholarships. Please visit the Upcoming Courses section frequently or subscribe to our mailing list to stay informed about such opportunities.

For more information about specific costs of upcoming courses, please speak to your ReTrain career consultant.

Yes, but only to the next available running programme of your selected or revised course with similar schedule and timetable.

This is completely a preference issue, depending on individual circumstances. However, because our model and value chain of services includes a remote work component, we do tend to be biased towards encouraging and promoting remote work!

All our courses are led by a mentor/instructor, supported by a training assistant. Transmitted from Canada, they are also real time and interactive, as we believe that the engagement with mentors and fellow students provides immeasurable value and inherent future industry relationships/connections.

We pride ourselves on flexibility, as we review your timing and scheduling preferences and endeavour to place you into a suitably convenient class programme.

Presently, all sessions for the Nigerian market are online/virtual and transmitted from Canada. However, we are working on setting up a world-class and state-of-the-art training centre in Lagos. We surely will share information with our students and alumni, as we progress with this project.

Yes. Canadian employers are very big on “Canadian trained” and “Canadian work experience”. If you have attempted job searches in Canada, these are surely terms you frequently came across. This particular issue has been cause of frustration for many capable candidates. This was and remains a big factor in our affiliation with ReTrain Canada, Tesnas and other placement partners.

Our aim is to curate candidates and position them optimally for Canadian and other global work opportunities.

All our course content are specifically designed to be easily understood and retained by students, whilst ensuring we provide you with skills to maximise your potential. We continually use feedback from students, marketplace and industry to modify course content. We advise you to study course prerequisites and discuss any concerns with a ReTrain career consultant before signing up.

Depending on the course you complete, you will either receive an RTC.ReTrain Certified credential or an RmC.ReTrain Micro-credential. An RTC designation certifies that an individual has completed a body of training courses, studies, and examinations sufficient to demonstrate competency in the relevant field. RmCs are stepping stones towards other credentials, employment roles, or other academic pursuits such as professional accreditations, post-secondary or post-tertiary studies.

With key partners (ReTrain Canada and Tesnas) + other global partners (corporations, recruitment agencies, government agencies, non-government organisations), we start work on finding you work opportunities once you register in a programme, with the aim to place you in a suitable job as soon as you graduate.

We have and continue to do this very successfully. We take this very seriously, as this is key to our established credibility and reputation. All our programmes are designed based on skills presently in high market demand, particularly in Canada but also globally. A significant proportion of fees received are allocated to placement related services.

We urge you to beware of unscrupulous organisations advertising job guarantees. The decision to employ you is ultimately up to an employer and not a 3rd party. Employers base your employment on your technical knowledge, soft skills, remuneration requirements and interview performance. No 3rd party agency is in a position to guarantee you a job on behalf of an employer.
