Free Graded Projects with Verifiable Certificates
A Skillnaija certificate is never issued for attendance. Each of the 231 courses ends with a real project — a business plan, a wired circuit, a data model, a garment, an investment memo — that is graded against a published rubric. This page shows every brief, so learners know what they are working toward and employers know what a certificate proves.
