The Best FOA Accredited Training Center in Nigeria
IMT Computers is an FOA (Fiber Optic Association) Accredited Training and Certification Centre and Corporate Member — #718 — based in Ikeja, Lagos, and one of a small number of genuinely accredited fiber optics training providers operating in Nigeria. Whether you're in Lagos, or reaching us from elsewhere in the country, here's what that accreditation actually means for you.
All the certifications we teach are on FOA certification courses and training in Lagos.
A Real Accreditation, Not a Marketing Claim
Anyone can call themselves a "fiber optics training centre." FOA accreditation is different — it's issued by the Fiber Optic Association itself, and IMT Computers' accreditation (#718) is verifiable directly through the FOA's own official school directory, not just on our website.
Training Delivered Where You Are
Abuja, Port Harcourt and Other Cities: What "Remote" Means
We don't have a physical branch in Abuja or Port Harcourt, and we won't pretend otherwise. Candidates there, and in the rest of Nigeria, get genuine remote access to the same accredited training and certification: instructor-led theory, exam preparation and exam-only sessions can generally be handled remotely. Fiber optics work is hands-on, so where a certification track has a practical component, we'll tell you whether it needs a visit to Lagos or to our Cotonou centre in Benin Republic before you commit. Port Harcourt also has a real, growing oil & gas and telecom infrastructure sector where fiber optics skills matter, and an internationally recognized FOA credential is a genuine differentiator there.
What Sets Our Accreditation Apart
Over 25 years of hands-on training experience, an FOA Certified Fiber Optic Instructor whose credentials are independently verifiable, and — as of our listing in the FOA's own directory — a second accredited centre in Cotonou, Benin Republic. That combination of longevity, verifiable credentials and genuine reach is not something every provider claiming "FOA training" in Nigeria can back up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is IMT Computers really FOA accredited?
Yes — IMT Computers is an official FOA Accredited Training and Certification Centre and Corporate Member, #718, listed in the Fiber Optic Association's own directory.
Do I have to be in Lagos to train with IMT Computers?
No — while our physical facility is in Ikeja, Lagos, we offer remote training and exam access for candidates elsewhere in Nigeria, including Abuja and Port Harcourt.
Does IMT Computers have a physical office in Abuja or Port Harcourt?
No — we're upfront about that. Our physical facility is in Ikeja, Lagos (with a second centre in Cotonou, Benin Republic). What we offer candidates in Abuja, Port Harcourt and elsewhere in Nigeria is remote access to training and certification, with travel to Lagos only where a specific credential genuinely requires hands-on practical work.
Can I complete an entire FOA certification without visiting Lagos?
For exam-only sessions and theory-heavy components, often yes. For credentials with a hands-on practical requirement, you may need to visit Lagos or our Benin Republic centre — we'll tell you which applies to your specific track before you commit.
Is an FOA credential relevant to oil & gas sector technicians in Port Harcourt?
Yes — fiber optics and network infrastructure skills are directly relevant to the technical and telecom demands of oil & gas facilities, and an internationally recognized FOA credential is a genuine differentiator in that market.
Is the certification I earn remotely the same as one earned in Lagos?
Yes — same accreditation, #718, same credential, no distinction on your certificate for how you trained.
What FOA certifications does IMT Computers offer?
CFOT (Certified Fiber Optic Technician) as the foundational credential, plus CPCT and the CFOS specialist tracks.
How is IMT Computers different from other training centres claiming FOA certification in Nigeria?
Verifiability. Our accreditation number, our instructor's individual credentials, and our second centre in Benin Republic can all be independently checked, not just taken on our word.
