What the academy is

Uptime Academy is HSTV's training arm. The network broadcasts 24 hours a day from Lagos, and every course is taught on that live equipment, during the overnight loop, by the operators on shift.

Courses run 3 to 6 sessions of 90 minutes. Attend in studio or online with talkback. Every completed course earns a certificate that any church or employer can verify by number.
