Univad, a fledgling Ed tech startup serving the Nigerian and African markets, has announced that 87.6% of its learners completed their courses, marking a milestone for the startup.
Univad offers in-demand courses to African learners in collaboration with prestigious universities worldwide. An 87.6% course completion rate highlights the quality of Univad’s courses and the potency of its offer to its clients.
” Today, we celebrate a major milestone at Univad: 87.6% of our learners complete their courses. This reflects hundreds of courses delivered, thousands of learners across Africa, and learning that fits around real lives, fully online, self-paced, and guided by instructors from top global institutions. To every learner who reached the finish line, congratulations. And we’re just getting started.” Univad said.
The Edtech company founded by Mike Ikenwa aims to challenge established brands in Africa, such as Udemy, Coursera, and Altschool.
Earlier on, Univad partnered with Paystack to power cross-border payments for courses on its platform. The partnership enables students to complete their payments directly on the Univad platform using widely accepted debit and credit cards.
This opens the edtech firm to a broad market of learners across the African continent seeking to acquire new skills through courses on the platform.
Founded in 2024, Univad is a bootstrapped venture with no public fundraising records to date.
Since its launch, the company has made significant developments, including diploma programs, the UnivadGo mobile app, and the Campus Ambassadors Programme across Nigeria and other African countries.
