When you're comparing fiber optics training in Lagos, two separate things are worth checking: is the school itself accredited, and is the person actually teaching you certified to do so? IMT Computers can answer yes to both — and unlike most training centres, we publish the actual proof rather than asking you to take our word for it.
FOA Accreditation #718 — What It Means
IMT Computers Nigeria Ltd is an official Fiber Optic Association (FOA) Accredited Training Centre and Corporate Member, #718. FOA accreditation means our curriculum, lab equipment and instructors are vetted directly by the international professional body for fiber optics — not a locally-invented syllabus with no external accountability.
Meet Our FOA Certified Fiber Optic Instructor
Adejola Johnson, Founder and CEO of IMT Computers, holds a BSc and MSc alongside 8 verified professional certifications — including FOA Certified Fiber Optic Instructor status under credential #7070043, issued by the Fiber Optic Association and in good standing on an ongoing basis. His certification record spans:
CFOT (Certified Fiber Optic Technician) — the foundational, most widely recognized FOA certification
FOA Certified Fiber Optic Instructor — the credential authorizing him to personally teach and certify FOA courses
CFOS/D, CFOS/H, CFOS/O, CFOS/L, CFOS/S — specialist certifications in network design, FTTH, outside plant, optical LAN and splicing
CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) — networking fundamentals underpinning our fiber and IT training alike
In practice, this means every CFOT and CFOS course listed on our site is taught by an instructor certified in that exact discipline — not a general instructor covering unfamiliar material.
Verify It Yourself — Don't Take Our Word for It
We've published the actual certificate and a live, third-party verification badge, both viewable on our instructor's dedicated certifications page. Check the credential number, the issuing body, and the badge status directly — the same way you'd verify any other professional credential before trusting it.
See the certificate and verify the badge on our Instructor Certifications page. More certifications are added there as they're issued.
Why This Matters When Choosing a Fiber Optics Course in Lagos
Plenty of "fiber optics training" advertised locally has no accreditation and no certified instructor behind it — just a certificate template. Studying under an FOA Certified Instructor at an FOA Accredited Training Centre is the difference between a credential that means something to telecom employers internationally, and one that doesn't travel past the classroom it was printed in.
