The next cohort starts on 12 October 2026. Classes are physical or virtual.
Ibadan, since 202020 Oba Adesida Road, Iyaganku GRA. Labs, classrooms, a seminar hall and rooms for trainees in one compound.
For twelve months you learn Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, or Robot Development and Automation, by building things that work: apps, models, robots and drones that solve problems people actually have.
Working professionals, undergraduates, graduates and school leavers study side by side. You need no computing background; you need curiosity and the patience to make something work. Questions about fees, accommodation or start dates? Ask us, and get an answer straight away.
Python, data science, machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, language models and deployment, ending with a product of your own.
12 months, ₦7,700,000
Electronics, embedded systems, IoT, 3D design, control, ROS and computer vision, ending with a robot you design and build.
12 months, ₦7,700,000Both together take 24 months (₦15,400,000). Shorter courses in Data Science and Python, Embedded Systems and IoT, and Machine Learning run for 12 to 16 weeks from ₦3,000,000. You can pay in instalments, and paying in full before you start takes 5 per cent off. All fees and payment plans
Most of the work here is building.
Seventy per cent of each programme is product development. A typical day is three hours of class, then the lab: wiring, coding, testing, failing and fixing. On Fridays every trainee presents to the room, and visitors to RAIN ask trainees to explain what they built and who it helps.
Project management runs through the programme, so by the end you can plan, cost and deliver work for a client, and many trainees leave in start-up teams.
Ridwan completed both full programmes, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and then Robot Development and Automation. He worked on more than four industry-standard projects and supported his colleagues on many more.Ridwan, AIML and RDA
Desmond obtained a study visa to spend two years at RAIN on both full programmes, and showed uncommon creativity in solving problems. Our support team guides international students through the study-visa process.Desmond, international trainee

We write the books we teach from: 12 full textbooks with worked examples, code, exercises and a free assessment at the end of every chapter, towards the RAIN certification. Anyone can buy them, and owners get a discount when they join RAIN.
RAIN was founded in 2020 by Dr Olusola Ayoola, who holds a PhD in robotics from the University of Manchester, where he built ground and underwater robots for the UK's nuclear decommissioning programme. He teaches robotics and control to postgraduate students at the University of Ibadan.
His projects include a scream-detection system for public buses, exoskeletons for upper-limb rehabilitation, carbon-tracking drones and a smart drug dispenser for people with dementia. RAIN has hosted the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Canadian Trade Commissioner, a United States Consulate delegation and UNDP Nigeria, and runs the Meta AI Developer Academy.
Several buildings in one secure compound in Iyaganku GRA, with rooms for trainees who are not from Ibadan. Walk around the campus or see the rooms.
Through our partnership with an NUC-accredited open university, your RAIN training counts towards a B.Sc., without JAMB.
One or two programmes, 12 to 24 months.
Up to 24 university credits, so you skip the first two years.
Years 3 and 4 in Data Science, Software Engineering or IT.
The full programmes take 12 months: AIML ₦7,700,000, RDA ₦7,700,000. Both together take 24 months for ₦15,400,000. Short courses are ₦3,000,000. You can pay in instalments, and paying in full before you start takes 5 per cent off. See fees and payment plans.
Yes, for trainees who are not based in Ibadan: rooms inside the RAIN compound from ₦1,400,000 a session, with internet, a water heater, air conditioning, power, water and security. Residents cook or order their own food. See the rooms and prices.
The next cohort starts on 12 October 2026. You can still join an ongoing cohort until about halfway through, with catch-up classes.
Yes. Classes are physical or virtual. Virtual classes run when there are enough trainees, on a schedule agreed with your tutor. RDA is best done on campus because of the hardware.
Yes. RAIN welcomes international students, and our support team guides study-visa applications.
No. The programmes start from the beginning with Python and C. Short courses need a credit in O-Level Mathematics.
Yes. Enter the book owner code from the last page of the book when you apply, and a discount comes off your tuition. About the books.

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Nigeria trains people to build AI systems and robots, and builds them for organisations. Let us show you around in a few taps.
Pick the one closest to why you came.
All programmes are hands-on: most of your time is spent building real products. Classes are physical or virtual.
No background is needed for the 12-month programmes. We start from zero.
Python, data science, machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, NLP and large language models, web and desktop apps, and deployment. You finish with a final project you can show an employer.
You can join an ongoing cohort until about halfway through, with catch-up classes. International students are welcome.
Product design and 3D printing, electronics, Arduino, Raspberry Pi and ESP32, IoT, control, ROS, drones and robot arms. You finish by building your own robot. Best taken as physical classes because of the hardware.
You can join an ongoing cohort until about halfway through, with catch-up classes. International students are welcome.
Both full programmes back to back: the software and AI side, then the hardware and robotics side. For people who want to build complete intelligent machines.
You can join an ongoing cohort until about halfway through, with catch-up classes. International students are welcome.
Data Science and Python, Embedded Systems and IoT, or Introduction to Machine Learning and AI. Needs a credit in O-Level Mathematics.
You can join an ongoing cohort until about halfway through, with catch-up classes. International students are welcome.
We train teams, from beginners to technical staff, at RAIN, at your office or online. We also design and build AI models, IoT and monitoring systems, robots and drones, dashboards and automation, made for Nigerian conditions.
Search certified AI, machine learning and robotics developers by skill, see the projects they built, and contact them through RAIN.
Task-by-Task AI is a self-paced online course you can start today, for ₦45,000. Learn to use AI for real tasks at work, one task at a time.
Schools, universities and organisations can tour our labs: robots, drones, AI demonstrations and hands-on sessions. You are also welcome to visit before you apply.
Work with us on training, research and products, sponsor or exhibit at the RAIN Tech Summit, or invite our founder or team to speak at your event.
