RAIN
The RAIN Degree Pathway

Train at RAIN. Skip the queue. Graduate with a B.Sc.

Earn up to 24 university transfer credits at RAIN, then walk straight into Year 3 of an NUC-accredited B.Sc. in Data Science, Software Engineering or Information Technology. No JAMB pressure. No wasted years.

What parents need to know

Two years of university credit — earned while building real things.

A student who trains at RAIN for 1–2 years earns up to 24 university transfer credits — the equivalent of the first two years of university — and enters Advanced Standing (Year 3) of a fully NUC-accredited B.Sc. They graduate with more qualifications, more skills and more opportunities than the traditional route offers.

The honest comparison
