The FAST Programme

Family Homes Funds Limited & AfDB Partnership for Artisan Skills Training

Our Mission

Nigerian youth need accessible, accredited training in construction trades, while developers struggle to find verified, skilled labor. Information regarding training programs, accreditation levels, and location-specific success rates is often scattered.

The FAST Programme is designed to bridge this gap by providing high-quality, free vocational training leading to National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) certification.

  • Nationally recognized NSQF Certification
  • Direct pipeline to employment with top developers
  • Focus on female inclusion in construction (40% target)
  • Practical, on-site learning environment
