Saidu B. Samaila & Co. Chartered Accountants and Houston-based Chamco Digital LLC have announced a 14-week virtual AI and cloud workforce training programme for learners across Nigeria and other African markets, with live classes and practical labs delivered through Microsoft Teams.
The programme is aimed at university students, recent graduates, working professionals, entrepreneurs, public-sector staff, career changers, and beginners with little or no technology experience. Its online delivery model is intended to let participants combine training with academic, business, or employment commitments.
Course content spans Python, data analytics, AI fundamentals, Microsoft Azure AI services, Microsoft Foundry, Azure AI Search, Microsoft Copilot, generative AI, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agents, document intelligence, computer vision, speech AI, responsible AI, and enterprise deployment. Participants are expected to build portfolio projects such as chatbots, AI assistants, document-processing tools, enterprise agents, and AI-powered search applications.
The partnership pairs Saidu B. Samaila & Co.’s training and management consulting division with Chamco Digital, which describes itself as a Microsoft Solutions Partner specializing in Azure, AI, digital transformation, and workforce development. Beyond technical instruction, the organizations say the programme will include career guidance, portfolio development, mentorship after training, weekly assessments, and a capstone project.
A notable timing detail is the certification pathway. The announcement identifies Microsoft’s AI-901 and AI-103 exams as preparation targets, with exam-support assistance for eligible AI-103 candidates. That reflects Microsoft’s current Azure AI certification transition: the earlier AI-102 exam and its Azure AI Engineer Associate certification retired on June 30, 2026, while AI-103 covers development of AI applications and agents on Azure and Microsoft Foundry. Applicants should nevertheless confirm current exam availability, eligibility, scheduling, and any financial support directly with the training providers before enrolling.
The programme’s curriculum is designed around implementation-oriented Azure AI work rather than introductory theory alone. The inclusion of RAG, enterprise search, document extraction, vision, speech, and agentic applications aligns with common components of production AI solutions, but participants should verify the exact Azure subscription, lab access, attendance, assessment, and completion requirements that apply to their cohort.
Successful participants who meet the programme’s requirements will receive a Certificate of Completion. Registration and enquiries are being handled through Saidu B. Samaila & Co. and Chamco Digital.
