The Outcome

High Integration, High ROI, High Retention

Engineering Teams Accepted the Trainees

One of the most striking achievements was the full acceptance of our trainees by the bank’s in-house tech teams. Unlike many other training programs where developers are sidelined or rejected after onboarding, our graduates were seen as valuable contributors from day one. Their hands-on readiness allowed them to integrate into teams with minimal friction.

Engineers Stayed Long-Term

Retention has been exceptional. Most of the trained engineers remained with the bank for several years—reducing attrition costs, enhancing team continuity, and allowing the organization to maximize return on training investment.

Significant Cost Efficiency

Instead of hiring already experienced engineers at high salaries, the bank upskilled junior talent at scale through DelonAcademy—achieving a cost-effective model with greater loyalty and long-term value.

Alignment with Enterprise Systems

Trainees were not just trained in technologies; they were trained in how to work in enterprise environments—handling documentation, following SDLC, adhering to security standards, and collaborating cross-functionally with DevOps, QA, and product teams.

Enterprise Training Spotlight

Empowering Nigeria's Leading Bank with Over 250 Industry-Ready Engineers

Over the past four years, DelonAcademy has been at the forefront of transforming technical talent for one of Nigeria's top commercial banks. Through our enterprise-focused upskilling programs, we've trained more than 250 engineers in high-demand fields such as software development, cloud engineering, DevOps, data science, and quality assurance—delivering lasting value for both the organization and the trainees.

The Challenge

Many banks in Nigeria struggle to hire junior engineers who can immediately contribute to mission-critical systems. Off-the-shelf training programs often fall short—either too theoretical or misaligned with real enterprise expectations. Internal tech teams frequently reject external trainees, citing lack of hands-on experience or readiness for production-level work.

Our client needed more than basic training—they required job-ready engineers who could integrate into their agile teams and deliver real business value immediately, without requiring prolonged mentorship or re-training.

Client Requirements

Job-ready engineers for immediate integration

Agile team compatibility

Real business value delivery

Minimal mentorship dependency

No prolonged re-training needs

Case Study

Upskilling Experienced Developers in Secure Coding Practices

The Challenge

One of Nigeria’s most prominent digital banks faced a growing need to enforce secure software development practices across its engineering teams. As cyber threats increased and regulatory scrutiny intensified, the bank’s leadership recognized that many of its experienced developers—although technically strong—lacked formal training in secure coding principles, threat modeling, and compliance-driven engineering.

The goal was clear: empower internal developers to build secure applications from the ground up, reducing reliance on security auditors and minimizing risk exposure.

Additionally, the bank sought a cost-effective alternative to hiring experienced engineers, who commanded significantly higher salaries. By investing in structured training for fresh graduates, they aimed to reduce hiring costs, improve retention, and build an internal pipeline of skilled professionals who could grow within the company.

Our Solution

DelonAcademy designed and delivered an 8-week intensive upskilling program specifically focused on secure software development. The curriculum was tailored to the bank’s tech stack and risk profile, and aligned with both global standards (OWASP, NIST) and Nigerian regulatory expectations (NDPR, CBN compliance).

Key Topics Covered
  • Secure coding principles across .NET, Java, and JavaScript
  • ommon vulnerabilities (SQLi, XSS, CSRF, insecure deserialization, etc.)
  • OWASP Top 10 & defensive programming techniques
  • Static and dynamic code analysis tools
  • Secure API design and validation
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) implementation
  • Source code reviews and threat modeling exercises
  • CI/CD security integration (DevSecOps practices)
Program Delivery
  • Instructor-led virtual and in-person classes
  • Weekly lab sessions using real code samples from the bank
  • Code reviews and peer feedback rounds
  • End-of-program security challenge & practical assessment
Results
  • 100% of participating engineers passed the final secure coding audit
  • Engineering managers reported measurable improvement in code quality and vulnerability prevention
  • Reduced turnaround time for internal security reviews and audits
  • Improved collaboration between security and engineering teams

Reskilling IT Support Engineers into IT Audit Engineers

The Challenge

Another Tier 1 Nigerian bank was facing a critical shortage of qualified professionals in its internal IT audit department. Meanwhile, several employees in their infrastructure and IT support teams had strong systems knowledge but limited exposure to auditing methodologies, risk analysis, or IT governance frameworks.

Rather than hiring externally, the bank sought a reskilling solution to transform these employees into IT Audit Engineers capable of supporting compliance, governance, and technical audit tasks.

Our Solution

DelonAcademy crafted a 12-week IT Audit Reskilling Program combining classroom learning with real-time audit case studies. The program enabled participants to transition from purely operational roles to strategic roles within IT audit and governance.

Topics Covered
  • Introduction to audit frameworks (COBIT, ISO/IEC 27001)
  • Fundamentals of IT General Controls (ITGCs)
  • System access reviews, log monitoring, and audit trails
  • Cybersecurity risk assessment and documentation
  • Network and infrastructure audit practices
  • Business continuity and disaster recovery audits
  • Regulatory compliance (CBN, NDPR, NCC)
  • Report writing, audit planning, and stakeholder engagement
Learning Format
  • Group-led projects reviewing actual IT assets
  • Guided practice on risk registers, audit control design, and evaluation
  • Collaboration with internal audit stakeholders for mock audits
  • Feedback loops to measure progression into audit mindsets
Outcomes
  • Over 90% of participants were redeployed into audit-related roles
  • The IT Audit team expanded capacity without recruiting new staff
  • Participants reported increased confidence working with regulators and external auditors
  • The bank experienced improved audit readiness and reduced internal findings
