FOA Accredited Fiber Optic Certification in Africa

IMT Computers is an FOA (Fiber Optic Association) Accredited Training and Certification Centre and Corporate Member — #718 — with a physical footprint in two African countries, Nigeria and Benin Republic, and the ability to reach candidates well beyond those two directly.

All the certifications we teach are on FOA certification courses and training in Lagos.

A Genuinely Multi-Country Accreditation

Most fiber optics training providers in West Africa operate out of a single city. IMT Computers is listed in the FOA's own official directory with two separate accredited locations — Ikeja, Lagos in Nigeria, and Cotonou in Benin Republic — under the same accreditation number, #718.

How We Serve Candidates Across the Continent

Why an FOA Credential Travels With You

An FOA certification is internationally recognized, not tied to the country where you sat the exam — which matters for technicians and engineers who expect to work across borders in telecommunications, ISP infrastructure, and enterprise networking as the industry grows across the continent.

Kenya and East Africa

Kenya's position as East Africa's leading tech and ICT hub has come with real growth in fiber broadband and network infrastructure. That growth rewards technicians and engineers who can prove their skills against a credential employers actually recognize internationally, not just a local training certificate. We don't have a physical branch in Kenya; candidates there train with us remotely, and we'll confirm whether a specific certification's hands-on component can be scheduled remotely or needs travel.

Egypt and North Africa

Egypt sits at one of the most important crossroads for global fiber infrastructure, a landing point for major international submarine cable systems connecting Europe, Africa and Asia. That strategic position means real, ongoing demand for technicians and engineers who can prove their skills against an internationally recognized standard. We don't have a physical branch in Egypt; theory, exam preparation and exam-only sessions can generally be handled remotely, and we'll be direct about what a practical component needs.

Côte d'Ivoire and French-Speaking West Africa

Côte d'Ivoire and Benin Republic share close regional and linguistic ties within West Africa. For Ivorian candidates who want hands-on training rather than a fully remote path, our Cotonou centre is a genuinely practical, French-speaking option, not a distant, unrelated location. Theory, exam preparation and exam-only sessions can be handled remotely; practical components may require a visit to Cotonou or Lagos.
