Testimonial
Hear what our current and past students have to say about their experience at SQI
Excel Omoloso2022-10-26I am a virtual student of SQI from The United States. In the duration of my classes, I learned a lot - from the basics all the way to Angular. The teachers here were so understanding and were willing to be flexible due to the time difference. After each session, the teachers post a recording of the class, which helped me review and go through what I learned. I have enjoyed my lesson here and are thankful to everyone for teaching me.Akeem Bello2022-10-26I had always wanted to transition to tech from Pharma, and been searching for where to learn till I stumbled on SQI when I went to Ibadan for a friend’s wedding. I was actually really skeptical of learning here becauseee, Ibadan (lool), but the decision I made to learn here is one of the best I have made in years, and I’d always choose SQI over and over again. The tutors are the best, calmest, and the most wonderful set of people I’ve met. These guys were very patient, and always willing to answer my plenty seemingly “stupid” questions… they are still patient with my questions because I’m not done with my course. I have really learnt a lot I never thought I could in these past months with SQI, and I absolutely recommend!Hammed Mujeeb2022-10-26SQI is by no doubt one of the best ICT college in Africa. Prior to my first week experience at SQI, I couldn't fathom why I have to pay such tuition to learn the skills I can actually learn online. But today? Being here learning from the best is the best thing that has ever happened in my career life. The highly skilled and experienced tutors here could actually fast track your tech career journey and you will start reaping the benefits even as you learn. The best things about SQI is they prioritize teaching students how to work smarter rather than harder. In short, SQI is just the best and they give more worth and value than you can ever pay for. Mujeeb Hammed Information Technology Graduate.MICHAEL PATRICK2022-10-26My experience at SQI College of ICT Software Engineering virtual class has been great but very very challenging. We keep doing challenging assignments after assignment. At a point, I just feel like giving up but the words of one of the past student who was interviewed on Youtube by name Akintomiwa Abolade kept me going. He said "Na who give up, na him f**k up". So, anytime I feel like giving up, Those words just comes to my head and keeps me going. In a space of 5 weeks, I have learnt so much by building projects like paystack clone, my portfolio page, an event page, and I am currently working on Flutterwave clone. In all I just love the SQI Community, and a big shout out to Mr Favour and the Boss himself Mr YemiSamson Odunola2022-10-26I first came across SQI college via a twitter post and immediately I knew it was exactly what i needed, first of all it was close by in Ibadan, secondly they offered interactive virtual classes. I was previously learning web development on my own via YouTube videos but the biggest problem I encountered with this method was a lack of a curriculum and lack of any guidance beyond what is in the video. The SQI virtual program was a game changer for me, it took me from creating basic frontend apps with react to a full stack developer. it offered all the benefits of a physical class but in a virtual environment. The patience of the facilitators in breaking down complex subjects is still the best I have encountered so far. The assignments pushed me to take on tasks that seemed very big and impossible. The most important thing I probably learnt was the art of breaking down complex looking projects into smaller features to make it easier to code. Also, I currently work full time as a civil engineer, finding time to attend a physical class can be almost impossible but the SQI virtual class solved that problem for me without a drop in the quality of education. I am a full stack developer and I'm currently working on my final SQI project which utilises the MERN stack, this is all thanks to SQI and their excellent tutors, I will definitely recommend to everybody.Aremu Enoch2022-10-17It's been awesome
