All Fellows are guaranteed by Teach For Nigeria to possess the knowledge and abilities required to inspire their pupils to excel. An intensive residential training session lasting six weeks precedes the Teach For Nigeria Fellowship. In addition to other modules, workshops, and essentials of effective teaching, Fellows are exposed to curriculum, lesson design, classroom facilitation, and student assessments in this setting.

The Teach For Nigeria concept is based on the tried-and-true models of 40 nation-based organizations, such as Teach For America, Teach First UK, Teach For Ghana, Teach For Bangladesh, Teach For Nepal, and Teach For India, all of which are a part of the Teach For All network.
