Business Operations Track
Learn to see what's broken in how a business runs — and fix it.
Digital operations, documentation, automation and QA. No coding required. Six real, hard-to-DIY skills that transfer across industries.
Curriculum
Every week has a purpose. Every phase ships something real.
Data Management & Business Reporting
Weeks 2–4
Business owners make decisions based on guesswork because their data is scattered across notebooks, WhatsApp chats, and messy files.
- Data Structuring Basics — moving from paper records to clean, organized digital formats
- Excel & Google Sheets for Operations — XLOOKUP, data validation, and Pivot Tables
- Data Cleaning and Building Simple Operational Dashboards
Digital Transformation & Systems Auditing
Weeks 5–7
Traditional businesses want to go digital, but don't know where to start or how to manage the change.
- The Digital Audit Framework — how to walk into an office and list inefficiencies and opportunities
- Digitizing Paper Processes — converting register books, receipts, and waybills into cloud-backed systems
- Digital Project Coordination — managing a team's tasks and deadlines
Technical & Process Documentation Writing
Weeks 8–10
Most Nigerian startups and SMEs have zero written documentation. Institutional knowledge lives only in one person's head — a real liability.
- What Technical Writing Actually Is, and writing SOPs & onboarding manuals
- Knowledge Base & Help Centre Articles
- An introduction to API documentation and packaging your writing into a portfolio piece
Business Automation & Practical AI
Weeks 11–12
Repetitive manual tasks quietly eat hours every week — and most people only ever use AI tools as a novelty, never as a real working part of a business system.
- No-Code Automation — connecting apps using tools like Zapier and Make.com
- Chaining Triggers & Actions, and embedding AI into real, working workflows
- Testing & error-handling, so automations keep working when something unexpected happens
Manual Software QA & Testing
Weeks 13–14
Most small Nigerian dev agencies and startups are engineer-heavy and QA-light — a team of 4-5 developers often has zero dedicated tester.
- Thinking in Edge Cases — what happens when a user does something unexpected
- Writing Structured Test Cases and documenting bugs the way a development team expects
- Basic Tools for Testers — browser DevTools and Postman, zero code required
Pitching, Consulting, Monetization & Portfolio
Weeks 15–16
Knowing the skills isn't enough if you don't know how to package them and get paid for them.
- Packaging Your Skills — In-House Operations Lead, Virtual Operations Associate, or Independent Consultant
- Writing Business Proposals, practicing real pitches
- Assembling your full portfolio from every prior module
Final project
The Final Project
Choose one real business and improve how it works, using everything from the six modules above. Your job isn't to build software — your job is to make the business run better using technology. You have up to 4 weeks.
Where this takes you
Real career paths. Not vague promises.
Digital Operations Consulting
Walk into a business — a school, a shop, a church, a clinic — spot where they're losing time to disorganized work, and offer to fix it directly.
Remote Operations & Virtual Support
Support a business remotely — calendars, data, reporting, communication. Pitch yourself using a portfolio that proves what you've already organized and automated.
Technical Writing
A standalone career path. Software companies, AI startups, SaaS businesses, fintech, and cloud providers all hire technical writers.
Automation & AI Workflow Consulting
"I'll automate this one repetitive task for a flat fee" is a small, low-risk pitch most Nigerian business owners have never been offered.
QA Tester
A portfolio of real, well-documented bugs is a stronger resume for this role than a certificate — it proves the exact skill you'll use on day one.

FAQ
Questions about this track.
Do I need any tech experience to apply?
None at all. This track is built for people who work with businesses, not code. If you can use WhatsApp and a smartphone, you have enough to start.
What tools will I actually be using?
Google Sheets, Excel, Zapier, Make.com, Notion, Postman, and browser DevTools. All either free or have free tiers — you won't need to buy anything to participate.
Can this track lead to remote work?
Yes — Remote Operations and Virtual Support is one of the five named career paths. The portfolio you build here is specifically designed to be pitched to international clients.
Is this a good foundation before the Engineering Track?
One of the best. By the time you start writing code, you'll already understand how businesses work and how to talk about value — not just features. Most developers can't do that.
