January 1st, you had a plan. You were going to learn a tech skill. Maybe it was web development, data analysis, UI/UX design, or cybersecurity. You told yourself and maybe a few people around you that this was the year you were going to make the move into tech.
It’s now April. Q2 has begun. And if you’re being honest with yourself you haven’t started yet.
You are not alone. Research consistently shows that over 80% of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned by February. But here’s the thing, the calendar doesn’t care. Every week you delay is a week someone else with the same goal is pulling ahead.
“The best time to start was January. The second-best time is today, right now, this week, this month.”
Why People Who Want to Learn Tech Keep Waiting
Let’s be real about the most common reasons people stall on their tech journey because understanding the obstacle is the first step to removing it.
- “I’ll wait until I have more time.”
More time is not coming. Between work, family, and life in Lagos moving at full speed, there will always be something competing for your attention. The people who successfully transition into tech don’t find time, they make time even if it’s just one focused hour a day.
- “I’m not sure if I’m ready.”
No one is ever fully “ready.” Readiness is built through doing, not waiting. Every professional in tech today started at zero, uncertain, with more questions than answers. The difference is they began anyway.
- “The fees are a stretch right now.”
This one is real, and it’s the one we decided to do something about. Keep reading because we have a solution designed specifically for this.
The Cost of Waiting Is Higher Than You Think
Every quarter you delay your tech education, the gap between you and where you want to be gets wider not narrower. The tech job market in Nigeria and across Africa is growing rapidly, but so is the pool of people upskilling to compete for those roles.
Delay also has a psychological cost. Every week you don’t start, that unfinished intention sits in the back of your mind, creating low-level guilt, anxiety, and a growing sense that maybe you “just weren’t meant for tech.” That’s not true. That’s procrastination lying to you.

What BCT Academy Has Done for Hundreds Already
BCT Academy is a Lagos-based tech training institution built specifically for Nigerians and Africans who are serious about transitioning into technology whether you’re a recent graduate, a working professional ready to pivot, or someone completely new to the tech world.
In Q1 of 2026, we ran a special discounted cohort to lower the barrier to entry. Hundreds of people used that opportunity to finally begin their journey. We watched people who had been “thinking about it” for months sit down, show up, do the work and completely transform their career trajectory in a single quarter.
The discounted pricing is no longer available. But we listened to feedback, and we know finances are still a real barrier for many. So we created something better than a discount.

This Cohort Is for You If…
You’ve been saying “I’ll start soon” for months. You watched your friends enrol in Q1 and you’re wondering if you missed the boat. You want to break into tech but every time you try to commit, something stops you ; fear, finances, or just not knowing where to begin.
The Q2 cohort at BCT Academy was designed with you in mind. Small class sizes mean you get real attention and support, not just video lectures to watch alone. Our instructors understand the Nigerian context; the career landscape, the job market, and what it actually takes to get hired locally and globally.
This quarter’s theme is simple: Take Action. Not “think about it more.” Not “wait for the right time.” Action. The right time is now and BCT Academy is making it easier than ever to begin.

The process is straightforward. Visit bit.ly/BCTacademyQ2cohort, choose your course, select the flexible payment plan, and make your first payment to secure your spot. Cohort sizes are limited; Q1 filled up faster than expected and we anticipate Q2 will do the same.
