Separate official from practice
Lessons cite the public portal and docs.postcode.gov.ng. The simulator is labeled fictional, every time.
Independent training · Nigeria
Practical training for individuals, businesses, and organisations to use Nigeria’s digital addressing system with confidence.
Postcode Academy is not NIPOST and not a government service. Official codes live only on the public portal and the official dashboard.
01
Find, read, save, and share the code for a building — and know what to do when one does not exist yet.
02
Capture codes at the counter, train staff, and export who actually finished.
03
Read the official API without invented endpoints: keys, lookup levels, and production checks.
Lessons cite the public portal and docs.postcode.gov.ng. The simulator is labeled fictional, every time.
Quizzes, a guided search, organisation assignments, and a certificate you can verify in public.
If a signed-in screen was not visible, the course says so instead of naming buttons that may not exist.
We store learning records, not a copy of the national postcode register, and not your API secrets.
Illustrative stories for class. Not quotations and not NIPOST endorsements.
We stopped writing “opposite the church” as the only location. The street address stayed. The building code sat beside it, or the record stayed pending.
The useful part was the key rule: secret keys never entered the mobile app, and level 1 was not described as a full address lookup.
Staff rehearsed on the fictional map first. The real lookup happened afterwards, on the public portal, with their own building.
