Live Online Agile, Scrum Master & SAFe® Training for Lagos and Nigeria

The Agile Forum teaches 100% live online, so professionals in Lagos, Abuja and across Nigeria join small, instructor-led cohorts from home or the office. We have no Nigerian office or classroom — you learn live with the trainer over video, on a real project, with every class time converted to Lagos time below.

Scrum Master, Product Owner and BA roles in Nigeria

Lagos is one of Africa's busiest technology and fintech hubs, with banks, payment companies, telecoms and start-ups building digital products — many of them in Agile teams. Abuja adds government, public-sector and development-programme work, and Port Harcourt adds energy and engineering projects.

Nigerian adverts use titles such as Scrum Master, Agile Project Manager, Product Owner, Product Manager and Business Analyst. Fintech and product companies in particular hire Product Owners and Business Analysts who can write clear user stories and work with engineers on a sprint cadence.

Many Nigerian professionals also target remote roles with UK, European and North American employers. Those interviews lean heavily on concrete examples — how you ran a sprint review, handled a blocked dependency or prioritised a backlog — which is exactly what the live-project mentorship gives you.

How the class times fit a Nigerian day

Batches are scheduled in India Standard Time (IST), which is always 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of Nigeria. Neither country uses daylight saving, so the times below stay the same all year.

The evening India mentorship batch is a 3:00–4:30 PM weekday class in Lagos, while the morning India batch falls in the middle of the night (2:30–4:00 AM) — so most Nigerian learners choose the evening batch. Every mentorship class is recorded, and you can rejoin the next batch free if work gets in the way.

SAFe® workshops run on Saturday and Sunday, 1:00–9:00 PM IST, which is 8:30 AM–4:30 PM in Lagos — a daytime weekend slot, so you can complete a certification without taking leave.

How live online classes work from Nigeria

Each session is live on video, with the trainer running a real JIRA board. You work on the project from your own laptop, rotate through Scrum Master and Product Owner duties in simulated sprint events, and get feedback in a small cohort of about 4–6 learners. A stable internet connection is enough — recordings cover any session you miss.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer Scrum Master and Agile training in Lagos?

Yes, live online. Learners in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan and across Nigeria join our instructor-led cohorts over video. We do not have a Nigerian office or classroom, so there is no commute and the same trainer teaches every batch.

What time are the classes in Nigeria?

West Africa Time (WAT) is 4 hours 30 minutes behind India all year, with no daylight saving. The evening India mentorship batch (7:30–9:00 PM IST) is a 3:00–4:30 PM weekday class in Lagos, and the morning India batch (7:00–8:30 AM IST) runs 2:30–4:00 AM. SAFe® workshops run on Saturday and Sunday, 1:00–9:00 PM IST, which is 8:30 AM–4:30 PM WAT.

How much does the training cost in naira?

Scrum Master / Agile PM or BA / PO live-project mentorship: ₦748,500. SAFe® Agilist, POPM or Scrum Master: ₦507,400 including the exam fee. Mock Interview Series: ₦373,500. New resume, cover letter and LinkedIn upgrade: ₦225,000. You can pay in naira or US dollars at checkout.

Is the SAFe® exam fee included for Nigerian learners?

Yes. The ₦507,400 fee for SAFe® Agilist, POPM and SAFe® Scrum Master includes the certification exam fee, 16 hours of live SPC-led training and exam preparation. Past batches have a 99% first-attempt pass rate.

I'm switching careers into Agile — do I need IT experience?

No. The live-project mentorship does not require prior IT experience. You learn Scrum, XP and Kanban by running sprints on a live JIRA project on your own laptop, so you finish with real examples to discuss in interviews. Many learners add a SAFe® certification or the Mock Interview Series afterwards. We do not promise job placement.

Will this help me apply for remote roles with UK, European or North American teams?

It can help you prepare. Lagos is on the same clock as London during British Summer Time and one hour ahead in winter, which makes UK and European teams a natural fit. International interviewers look for specific delivery examples and competency answers; the mentorship gives you the examples, and the Mock Interview Series (5 live mocks, 100+ situational questions) lets you practise telling them.

Who teaches the classes?

Dhirender Verma — SAFe® Program Consultant (SPC), SAFe® Authorized Trainer, Enterprise Agile Coach and large-scale Agile transformation consultant — teaches every live batch.
