How NEEI Works

Everything you need to know about learning, enrolling, and earning your certificate — all on one page.

1 What's Available

NEEI (National Entrepreneurship Education Initiative) offers structured, video-based masterclasses designed to build real entrepreneurial skill at every stage — from students taking their first steps, to established business owners scaling further. You can:

  • Try a free introductory lesson with no payment or commitment
  • Enrol in one or more full masterclass pathways
  • Learn at your own pace, picking up exactly where you left off
  • Track your progress on a personal Dashboard
  • Earn an official Certificate of Completion for every pathway you finish

2 How to Enrol

1
Create your free account. Visit Register, enter your name and email — no password needed.
2
Check your email. Click the secure sign-in link we send you. This logs you straight into your Dashboard.
3
Choose a pathway and pay securely. Payment is handled by Paystack — the moment it's confirmed, you have instant access.
4
Start learning. Work through your lessons in order, at your own pace.

For a more detailed walkthrough of this process, see our full How to Enrol page.

3 Taking the Free Trial

Not ready to commit yet? Every new student gets access to a Free Trial masterclass — a genuine, complete lesson experience with no payment required, available the moment you register.

Worth knowing: the Free Trial is meant as a preview of what learning at NEEI is actually like. It doesn't lead to a certificate on completion — instead, you'll see a prompt inviting you to enrol in a full pathway to keep going and start earning toward a real certificate.

4 Learning Pathways

Four masterclasses, each built for a different stage of your entrepreneurial journey:

₦5,000

Beginners

For primary and secondary school students.

₦10,000

Emerging Entrepreneurs

For students, graduates and young professionals.

₦20,000

SMEs & Entrepreneurs

For MSMEs, startups and entrepreneurs.

₦30,000

Business Owners

For CEOs, Founders & Established Business Owners.

Each pathway unlocks its own full masterclass — organized into modules and lessons you complete one at a time, so each lesson properly builds on what came before.

5 Enrolling in More Than One Pathway

You're not limited to a single pathway. If you'd like to also take Emerging Entrepreneurs after finishing Beginners, for example, simply enrol and pay for it the same way — from your Dashboard, any time.

Each pathway is enrolled in and paid for independently. There's currently no discounted "upgrade" price for already owning another pathway — enrolling in an additional one is the same straightforward process as your first, at that pathway's own price.

7 Certificates

The moment you complete every lesson in a paid pathway, your Certificate of Completion is generated automatically — no need to request it.

  • Emailed to you immediately (unless you've turned this off in Settings)
  • Always available to download any time from your Certificates page
  • Uniquely numbered and tied to that specific pathway
  • Issued separately for each pathway you complete — finish all four, earn four certificates
The Free Trial does not issue a certificate — certificates are earned only by completing a full paid pathway.

8 Common Questions

I didn't receive my sign-in email — what do I do?

Check your spam or junk folder first. If it's genuinely not there after a few minutes, request a new link from the Login page.

Can I skip ahead to a later lesson?

No — lessons and modules unlock in order, so each one builds properly on what came before.

What if I stop halfway through a pathway?

Your progress is saved automatically. Come back any time and continue exactly where you left off.

Can I change my email address?

Not directly in Settings, since it's tied to how you sign in. Contact support if this needs updating.
