Eswatini Tech Academy

Eswatini Tech Academy delivers focused, practical upskilling programs that bridge the gap between basic computer literacy and real-world data management and web development expertise. Serving working professionals, tertiary students, and beginners across Piggs Peak and the Hhohho District, the academy is built on a simple premise: that anyone with the right guidance and hands-on practice can unlock powerful digital skills. Instead of long academic pathways, the curriculum concentrates on the tools and techniques used daily by finance officers, HR teams, project administrators, and NGO program officers throughout Eswatini.

Every course at Eswatini Tech Academy is delivered through live virtual sessions, giving students the flexibility to learn from home, the workplace, or their nearest community hub. This design makes quality training accessible to learners in Piggs Peak and beyond, without the need for long commutes or rigid timetables. The academy’s instructors combine deep technical knowledge with patient, encouraging teaching styles, ensuring that even first-time computer users feel supported as they move from spreadsheets to sophisticated data dashboards.

Services & Facilities

Programmes at Eswatini Tech Academy revolve around three core streams, each structured to take a learner from foundational concepts to job-ready competence. The Basic Computing stream is designed for absolute beginners who have never worked with Microsoft Excel or Access, gradually introducing data entry, formatting, and simple formulas. As confidence builds, the curriculum naturally expands into Word processing, internet usage, and professional email communication, creating a complete digital skills package for first-time users and office professionals alike.

The Data Management & Analysis programme is the academy’s most advanced offering, covering advanced Excel functions, relational database design in Microsoft Access, and data visualization using Power BI. Students learn to clean and validate datasets, build automated reports, and construct interactive dashboards that support smarter business decisions. This stream has already seen participants from NGOs, retail, and corporate departments successfully apply their new skills to automate routine reporting, manage records, and analyze performance data.

Web Development and introductory front-end design round out the skills portfolio, with learners progressing from HTML and CSS basics to building and publishing their own web pages. The academy also partners with Piggs Peak iHub to deliver in-person training in data capturing, word processing, and internet usage, creating a hybrid learning model that combines virtual instruction with community-based practical sessions.

What We Offer

Industry-Relevant Curriculum

Courses are built around Microsoft Office tools that dominate Eswatini’s workplaces—Excel, Access, and Power BI—alongside foundational web technologies. Every programme includes theory sessions, hands-on exercises, and real datasets so learners immediately see how classroom concepts translate to office tasks. The curriculum is continuously updated based on feedback from employers and the academy’s own student outcome reports.

Flexible Learning Paths

Classes run Monday through Thursday, with morning slots (7am–10am) and evening slots (7pm–9pm) designed to accommodate working adults. Each programme spans 12 weeks, blending live online instruction with self-paced practice. Registration includes a same-day 30-minute virtual orientation with an instructor, ensuring every student understands the learning process and feels ready to begin.

Student Progress Tools

Eswatini Tech Academy provides a dedicated Student Progress Portal where learners track attendance, assignment scores, and overall performance. A Company Progress Portal lets organizational sponsors monitor learning outcomes, while a Parent/Guardian Portal keeps families connected to their child’s development. These tools turn the training experience into a transparent, accountable journey.

Community & Career Impact

Graduates have moved into roles as finance officers, accounts clerks, HR officers, data capturers, administrative assistants, retail supervisors, and IT support assistants across Eswatini. The academy’s programmes are not just about individual advancement—they strengthen local businesses, NGOs, and government offices by building a workforce that can organize, analyze, and present data with professionalism.

Why Customers Choose Us

Learners consistently highlight the patience and practical expertise of Eswatini Tech Academy’s instructors. Reviews mention that even those with zero prior experience in web design or data management soon find themselves building websites, creating interactive dashboards, and automating workflows they once thought impossible. The academy’s focus on project-based learning means students leave every lesson with something tangible to show for their effort.

The small class sizes and flexible scheduling also make a significant difference. Working adults value the ability to attend evening sessions without interrupting their day jobs, while students appreciate the immediate feedback and guidance provided during live virtual classes. Additionally, the suite of online portals for progress tracking, course comparison, and tuition planning puts learners in control of their educational investment from day one.

Serving Piggs Peak & Hhohho District

Local Impact

Since 2025, Eswatini Tech Academy has partnered with Piggs Peak iHub to deliver structured in-person training right in the heart of the community. This collaboration has already engaged participants aged 20–26 in daily classes covering data capturing, word processing, internet usage, and email communication. Upcoming advanced programmes in data management and mobile app development will further expand the tech skills available locally.

Regional Reach

Virtual classroom technology extends the academy’s reach across the Hhohho District and beyond, connecting students from diverse backgrounds with the same quality instruction. Whether a learner lives in a remote homestead or a busy urban neighborhood, as long as they have internet access, they can gain the Excel, Access, and Power BI skills that employers are actively seeking. The academy’s online tools, from the course recommender to the mobile app, ensure that geographic distance never limits educational opportunity.

Hours, Location & Directions

Eswatini Tech Academy operates primarily through virtual sessions, so there is no physical campus to visit. Classes are scheduled Monday through Thursday, with morning hours from 7am to 10am and evening hours from 7pm to 9pm. Fridays are dedicated to marking and updating student progress portals. Saturday sessions are available by appointment, and the academy remains closed on Sundays.

For in-person community training, students can visit Piggs Peak iHub, where Eswatini Tech Academy conducts regular classes in collaboration with local facilitators. The academy’s administrative contacts are readily available via WhatsApp at +268 7913 4516 or by email at eswatinitechacademy@gmail.com. Prospective learners are encouraged to download the academy’s Android mobile app (beta version) for on-the-go access to course materials and progress tracking.

Questions Visitors Ask

Many prospective students wonder about accreditation. Eswatini Tech Academy is an upskilling academy, not a degree-granting institution accredited by the Higher Education Council in Eswatini. It does not offer higher certificates, diplomas, or degrees. Instead, it provides short, skill-based courses recognized for their practical value in workplaces.

Another common question is about certificates: yes, the academy does issue certificates of completion that can be presented to employers as evidence of training received. Learners also frequently ask whether a laptop is mandatory; while highly recommended for optimal practice, the academy accommodates various setups as long as students can access Microsoft Office tools and a stable internet connection. Classes are intentionally flexible to suit working professionals, and all communication channels—WhatsApp, email, and the student portal—remain open for real-time support.
