Discuss a Partnership →Partner with AEI on technology deployment programmes, engineering workforce development, or community infrastructure initiatives in energy, water management, and security.
Get in Touch →Fund a specific AEI project, engineering scholarship, or laboratory equipment purchase. Every contribution is directed to a defined, documented outcome.
Discuss Sponsorship →OND, HND, BSc, and MSc graduates in engineering or related disciplines seeking practical training in embedded systems, smart energy, IoT, and hardware development. Apply using the form below.
Apply for Training ↓For hardware commissions, research enquiries, institutional partnerships, and sponsorship, please use the contact page instead. This form is for engineering trainees only.
Module 01 (Electronics & Circuits) is open to anyone with an OND or higher. For Modules 02 to 06, some basic electronics background is helpful but not strictly required. We assess each applicant individually.
Fees vary by module. Contact us for the current fee schedule. We also offer partial sponsorships for high-potential applicants who demonstrate financial need.
Currently, AEI training is primarily in-person at our Ozoro, Delta State facility. Hands-on lab work is central to every module. We are developing hybrid options for theoretical modules.
You receive an AEI certificate of completion, a documented portfolio project you built during training, and access to the AEI alumni network for career support and mentorship.
Yes. All AEI modules are stackable. Many trainees complete 2 to 3 modules to build a comprehensive skill set. Some complete the full suite and go on to the Hardware R&D track.
