What SIIT - Scholars International Institute of Technology does

SIIT - Scholars International Institute of Technology is a Delaware-incorporated, privately held online education provider operating as a subsidiary of Scholars Global Tech Corporation from its headquarters in Dover, Delaware. Founded in 2014, the company delivers self-paced, certified courses in IT, computing, vocational trades, and professional studies to a global student base spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, with reported cumulative enrollment of 800,000+ learners and 95,000+ active trainees since inception. The platform is organized into three academic divisions (School of Technical Training, School of Vocational Training, School of Professional Studies) and three certification tiers (Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Master Diploma), collectively covering 500+ programs across 12 major industries.

The company's underlying technology is a proprietary online Learning Management System delivering self-paced course modules, downloadable materials, and mobile-friendly 24/7 access through a student portal. Course content is aligned with vendor certifications from Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Cisco, and CompTIA, and SIIT holds dual accreditation from ACTD-US and QAHE-UK, with ASIC and ISO credentials also referenced. The platform includes a digital scholarship application system and supports both individual self-serve enrollment and organizational accounts for corporate training.

SIIT's business model combines micro-priced individual course fees ($9.99-$19.99 per course) with higher-priced Diploma, Advanced Diploma, and Master Diploma programs. A 100% scholarship program covers tuition for six flagship courses (HTML, HTML5, IT Fundamentals, Python 3, SEO), and a 90% discount scholarship has been introduced for 2026 admissions, both functioning as customer acquisition funnels. Complementary revenue streams include corporate/B2B training for organizations and resellers, and an affiliate/referral program paying commissions to students and partners for new enrollments. The company does not disclose revenue, has no disclosed external funding, and operates with 11-50 employees, indicating a bootstrapped, sub-scale unit.
