About
A Lagos-built platform for learning and finding a trade
Skillpayy is built in Lagos and run by Levo Technology Ltd. We operate two things under one roof: Skillpayy Academy, where people learn a practical vocational skill online and earn a certificate, and the Skillpayy marketplace, where our graduates and other vetted artisans connect with clients who need the work done. One platform, two sides of the same trade.
Skillpayy Academy
Learn a trade, get certified, start earning
Skillpayy Academy teaches practical, career-ready vocational skills online: Fashion Design, Baking & Catering, Bead Making, Shoe Making, Photography, Knitting & Crochet. Every course includes video lessons, notes, downloadable resources, and hands-on practical tasks reviewed by real instructors, finishing in a certificate of completion.
1. Register & enrol
Create a free account and enrol in a vocational course: Fashion Design, Baking & Catering, Bead Making, Shoe Making, Photography, or Knitting & Crochet.
2. Learn & practice
Watch lesson videos, read notes, download resources, and complete a hands-on practical assignment for every module, with photo evidence of your work.
3. Get assessed
Pass a short quiz to unlock each new module, and keep going until you complete the course’s final project.
4. Certify & build your portfolio
Earn a Skillpayy Academy certificate of completion once you’ve finished every module, passed the quizzes, and submitted a final project.
5. Join the marketplace
Apply for jobs and connect with clients through Skillpayy, the same trusted, founder-mediated platform artisans already use.
Why learn here
What makes it different
Taught by working professionals
Every course is built and taught by people who make a living at the trade, not generic tutorials.
A certificate that means something
Complete the final project and earn a certificate tied directly to the Skillpayy marketplace, not a random badge.
A direct line to clients
Graduates build a portfolio and can apply straight into the same trusted, founder-mediated marketplace clients already use.
Teach on Skillpayy
For instructors
Turn what you already know how to do, fashion, baking, bead work, photography, into a course real students pay to learn. Build it yourself with the course builder, or send your lesson videos to an editor who assembles the course for you. Instructors keep 90% of net revenue and are paid twice a month by bank transfer.
Skillpayy Marketplace
Find a vetted artisan
Beyond the Academy, Skillpayy runs a marketplace connecting clients with vetted fashion designers, tailors, hairdressers, makeup artists, bakers, photographers, cobblers, carpenters. It’s a founder-mediated process, not an algorithm matching strangers.
1. Tell us what you need
Share a skill requirement, location, and a few details. It takes under two minutes.
2. We find your match
Our team personally identifies the right artisan for your brief, no algorithms, no guesswork.
3. Connect and coordinate
Once matched, you’re placed in a private chat room with your artisan and a Skillpayy mediator to see the job through.
