JPTS Nigeria –Everything You Need To Know About JPTS
Especially in Nigeria, many traditional educational institutions are yet to incorporate dozens of high-demand industry-relevant courses into their academic programs. While this has obviously created a gap in Nigeria’s educational system, it’s unarguably one of the reasons for the deficit of industry-relevant graduates in the country.
In order to bridge this educational gap, there’s an urgent need for the widespread embracement of institutions that offer industry-standard professional certifications along with academic training. Frankly, an initiative like JPTS, which offers affordable online education in industry-relevant courses, can go a long way to lessen the impact of the gap.
Substantially, industry-relevant courses may manifest as professional certification programs with skills that prepare students for success in the 21st-century workforce.

An Overview of JPTS
JPTS –fully spelled as Joint Professional Training and Support International Limited –is a registered Nigerian/US institution that offers educational training in a broad range of professional courses. It offers an online education system that encourages a shift from traditional academic qualifications to professional certifications that suit today’s rapidly changing workforce.
JPTS is a distance learning program that seeks to equip Nigerian students as well as international students with the professional skills that would enable them to succeed in the 21st-century market. With this in mind, JPTS offers professional certifications that expose students to the requisite skills, attitudes, tools, etc., which align with industry-specific standards.
The overriding philosophy behind the establishment of JPTS is that appreciation of industry-standard professional certifications is a proven way to solve the educational gap in Nigeria. In the view of JPTS’ board and management, there is a need for the Nigerian government to leverage such professional certifications in bridging the gap.
Interestingly, JPTS is an ISO-certified educational institution; International Organization for Standardization (ISO) granted JPTS the ISO 9001:2008 certification, confirming that JPTS is an internationally recognized educational institution and as such, it can issue recognized certificates to its students.
Recognition by the Federal Government
JPTS has been backed by the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Education to operate as a certificate-awarding institution. Therefore, it suffices to say that in addition to JPTS’ ISO certification, which confers international recognition on the institution, JPTS is a recognized Nigerian institution which can grant diplomas and professional certifications.
With that noted, it is very clear that JPTS can issue recognized certificates to students who have completed its professional courses.
