Our Review Methodology
How we research, analyze, and rank tech courses and services to ensure you get the most accurate information.
At TechReviews.ng, we believe in data, not opinions. Every review you read is backed by thorough research, student interviews, and objective analysis. Here's exactly how we do it.

Scoring & Ranking
We combine all data points into a weighted scoring system. Different factors matter more for different categories (e.g., job placement matters more for courses).
Example weights for courses:
Curriculum (30%) + Instructor Quality (20%) + Job Placement (25%) + Student Satisfaction (15%) + Value for Money (10%)
Full Transparency
We update our reviews annually (or when significant changes occur). Our rankings are never influenced by affiliate commissions. Some institutes we recommend don't even have affiliate programs. We're here to help you, not to sell you.
