Affordable, Accredited, And Global: Website Planet Spotlights SIIT’s Mission To Redefine Tech Education
Website Planet has recently reviewed SIIT and the story of its founder, Leke Oyetoke. Their article perfectly captured a message we've championed from the start: that affordable tech education doesn’t have to mean inferior tech education.
In a world where $15,000 coding bootcamps and rigid university programs dominate the conversation, SIIT offers a different path—one that's flexible, job-focused, and accessible across borders. Over 90,000 students have enrolled in our programs, many of them from underrepresented regions, working full-time, or transitioning careers.
The Problem We're Solving
As Website Planet pointed out, our platform was born from a clear and painful truth:
“Brilliant minds in developing countries are still locked out of many tech careers—not because they lack ambition, but because the education system is failing them.”
From outdated curricula to financial inaccessibility, traditional models often exclude the very people who could thrive in the tech economy. SIIT was created to bridge that gap—not with prestige pricing, but with self-paced learning, modular access, and real-world projects that lead to real outcomes.
What Makes SIIT Different
The article highlighted the core pillars that make SIIT effective and scalable:
● Fully self-paced courses that fit around work, caregiving, or low-bandwidth environments
● AI-personalized learning paths that adapt to student performance
● Virtual internships and job readiness coaching for career alignment
● Accreditation from ACTD (U.S.) and QAHE (U.K.), ensuring global standards
And most importantly: pricing that doesn’t push learners into debt.
“We’re not trying to compete with elite universities,” Leke said. “We’re trying to bypass them.”
Why Self-Paced Education Matters Now
The conversation also explored the broader shift in the learning ecosystem. Rigid bootcamps and expensive degrees are increasingly mismatched with today’s learners—especially those outside major tech hubs.
The future of education is asynchronous, mobile-first, and learner-driven. SIIT is leading that shift, not by lowering the bar, but by designing with the student at the center.
What’s Next for SIIT
As shared in Website Planet’s report, SIIT’s next mission is ambitious: reaching 5 million learners globally, particularly in underserved rural areas where traditional institutions can’t reach. With plans to open in-person tech hubs in low-connectivity regions, SIIT is evolving from a platform into an ecosystem—one built to support a new generation of digital workers.
“Tech talent doesn’t need to be taught differently—it just needs to be reached differently.”
