Wild Fusion Digital Centre Introduces Certified Ethical Hacking Course to Strengthen Nigeria’s Cybersecurity Workforce
Wild Fusion Digital Centre (WDC), a pioneer in practical tech and digital marketing education in Nigeria, has unveiled its new Cybersecurity: Ethical Hacking course, aimed at building the next generation of cybersecurity experts and closing the nation’s growing digital security talent gap.
Empowering Nigeria’s Cyber Defenders
As businesses, governments, and institutions embrace digital transformation, the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks continue to rise. Nigeria, like many nations across Africa, faces a severe shortage of cybersecurity professionals capable of protecting its digital infrastructure.
WDC’s new course provides in-depth, practical training that equips learners with the technical skills and professional certifications needed to meet this urgent demand. Delivered in Lagos, the program offers hands-on learning experiences that mirror real-world cybersecurity challenges, ensuring participants are ready to defend, respond, and innovate in today’s threat landscape.
Global Recognition Through EC-Council Partnership
The new course is made possible through a landmark partnership with EC-Council, a world leader in cybersecurity certifications and creator of the globally acclaimed Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) program.
This collaboration gives Nigerian students and corporate teams direct access to globally recognized certifications locally, helping them build international-standard expertise without leaving the country.
Among the certifications offered through WDC’s cybersecurity portfolio are:
- Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) – Industry-leading certification for ethical hacking and penetration testing.
- Certified SOC Analyst (CSA) – Training professionals to monitor, detect, and respond to live cyber threats.
- Blockchain Finance Certification (BFC) – Preparing learners to navigate and secure decentralized finance systems.
Bridging the Gap Between Learning and Application
While online learning remains accessible, WDC’s strength lies in its in-person, hands-on model, where learners engage in simulations, labs, and case studies guided by experienced cybersecurity professionals. This approach ensures participants gain both competence and confidence to operate in high-stakes cybersecurity environments.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the global demand for cybersecurity professionals is expected to grow by 33% between 2023 and 2033, reinforcing the importance of timely training and certification in this field.
Creating Opportunities for Students, Businesses, and Partners
The launch of the Ethical Hacking program adds to WDC’s growing list of professional certification courses in Digital Marketing, Growth Marketing, and Data Analytics, solidifying its role as a key driver of Africa’s digital skills development.
- For Aspiring Professionals: WDC provides a direct pathway into global cybersecurity roles through internationally recognized credentials.
- For Corporates: Businesses and institutions can now train their teams to build internal cyber defense capabilities, minimizing risk and improving resilience.
- For Global Partners: WDC is cultivating a pipeline of EC-Council-certified talent across Africa, opening doors for recruiters and training partners seeking collaboration in Nigeria’s rapidly expanding tech ecosystem.
