The landscape of renewable off-grid systems in Nigeria is very dynamic and offers a lot of potential for developers. Training has emerged as a cornerstone for empowering developers and practitioners and equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to work successfully in this field. Many institutions offer training or training materials focusing on, for instance, technical expertise, business development, design principles or operation and maintenance. They range from online courses to in-person workshops, some are free of charge while others require a fee. A selection of training institutions in the OGS sector can be found in Table 1. The industry is changing fast, and so is the technology. Therefore, a developer should create a continuous internal and external training scheme, including opportunities for qualification and development.
