NIL Data Africa (Pty.) Ltd. was established in 2008 to be a locally-owned subsidiary of NIL Ltd., a company with headquarters in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The primary business operations revolved around providing training to Cisco channel partners and customers as a Cisco Learning Partner. Rather than continuing to rely on international instructors, NIL Africa has made it a priority to promote local instructors to become highly respected CCSI (Cisco Certified Systems Instructor) certified professionals. At present, we have 24 trainers who can provide training up to CCNP (Cisco Certified Networking Professional) level, and they have received numerous awards for their training skills. In response to market demand, and the ever changing requirements of emerging digital transformation solutions, NIL has expanded the learning portfolio to include training from complementary technology providers.

NIL’s field-proven experts - each an active engineer, content developer, and instructor – deliver leading edge Cisco & other technical training, enhancing the standard learning curriculum with real-life experience to maximise your training investment and accelerate the growth of your competencies.
