Diaspora Digital Media has provided further details on its upcoming DDM Academy Cohort 8 programme, scheduled to commence on May 18, 2026, as part of efforts to equip Nigerians and global participants with high-income digital skills.
The training initiative is positioned as a practical, hands-on learning experience aimed at preparing participants for real-world opportunities in employment, freelancing, and entrepreneurship within the fast-growing digital economy.
According to the organisers, the academy will offer a wide array of in-demand courses, including Frontend Web Development, Back-end Web Development, Full-stack Web Development, Cybersecurity, UI/UX Design, Graphics Design, Microsoft Office Suites, Virtual Assistant services, Digital Marketing, Data Science and Analytics, Video Editing, as well as other emerging technology-driven disciplines.
Each course is structured to combine theoretical knowledge with practical application, ensuring that participants gain job-ready skills that can be immediately deployed in professional environments.
The programme also offers flexible learning options tailored to different needs. Participants can enroll in online classes and learn remotely from anywhere in the world, or opt for onsite training at the academy’s physical location in Awka, Anambra State.
For those choosing the onsite option, accommodation is available for a fee, providing convenience for students traveling from outside the region.
Organisers highlighted that the training is not limited to beginners alone, as it also caters to individuals seeking to upgrade existing skills or transition into new career paths within the technology space.
In addition to the training, the academy has introduced a referral incentive scheme designed to encourage participation. Under this arrangement, individuals can earn ₦5,000 for every new participant they refer who successfully registers and completes payment for the programme.
Group registrations are also encouraged, with discounted rates available for organisations, friends, or communities enrolling multiple participants at once.
The academy emphasized that its goal is not only to teach technical skills but also to empower participants with the knowledge and confidence needed to compete globally, whether through remote jobs, freelancing platforms, or personal business ventures.
Prospective participants are advised to register early due to limited available slots. Enrollment can be completed through the official website: www.ddmacademy.net/cohort8.
