Axia Africa’s Co-founder, Okedeji Tofunmi, emphasized the profound impact of this accreditation on the platform’s students and the broader community. “The ACTD accreditation elevates our standing as an institution and opens doors for our students. It provides them with globally recognized certifications that carry weight in over 27 countries, including the United States. This is a game-changer for anyone seeking to build a future-proof career, whether on the continent or abroad. At Axia Africa, we are not just equipping students with skills; we are opening pathways to limitless opportunities.”
The rigorous accreditation process evaluated Axia Africa’s curriculum, governance, and operational processes, ensuring they align with the highest global benchmarks. ACTD, renowned for its stringent quality assurance standards, ensures that accredited institutions deliver not only excellent educational experiences but also foster innovation and continuous improvement.
ACTD, a globally recognized accreditation body, is known for its meticulous standards, which assess educational institutions on governance, curriculum design, and learner outcomes. Being accredited by ACTD places Axia Africa among an elite group of institutions that deliver education with a global outlook and local relevance.
This recognition is not just a milestone; it is a springboard for greater achievements. With over 4 million Africans targeted to be trained by 2030, Axia Africa is poised to scale its impact, fostering a generation of tech-savvy professionals ready to tackle the challenges of a digital-first world.

The accreditation also carries significant implications for Axia Africa’s students. With their certificates now globally recognized, they are positioned to access opportunities in international markets, further studies, and career advancements in countries that acknowledge ACTD standards. For students aspiring to work or study abroad, this certification eliminates barriers, offering a competitive edge in the global talent pool.
As Axia Africa celebrates this milestone, the message to its students is clear: the future is within reach. The platform’s vision to create a transformative learning experience is now bolstered by global recognition, inspiring students to persevere, complete their programs, and earn certifications that open doors to a world of possibilities.

We’re doubling down on our mission to ensure that no African youth is left behind in the global tech revolution. To our students, your hard work and dedication will pay off—keep pushing forward, and the world will recognize your efforts.”
With this achievement, Axia Africa is redefining the narrative of education in Africa, proving that excellence knows no bounds. The organization remains steadfast in its mission to empower millions, one student at a time, with skills that matter and certifications that count.
