Three Levels.
360 Credits.
One Career-Defining Journey.
INTRODUCTION
TGM Pathway is structured as a three-level progression equivalent to a full undergraduate degree. Each level carries 120 credits, for a combined total of 360 credits across the full journey. Each level is a standalone, recognised UK qualification — and together, they form a complete academic and professional foundation.
You can join at the start. You can move through one level at a time. You can pause and resume. You can use your Level 4 credits to enter directly into Level 5. And once you complete Level 6, you can progress directly into the final year of a participating UK or international university and earn a full bachelor’s degree.
The Pathway Map
Level 4 - Foundation Year
The OTHM Level 4 Diploma in Information Technology
You learn the foundations: how computers and networks really work, how to write your first professional code, how to design systems, how to think about cyber security, and how to manage digital information responsibly. By the end of Level 4, you have the same baseline a first-year UK undergraduate computing student would have.
Level 5 - Intermediate Year
The OTHM Level 5 Diploma in Information Technology
You move into intermediate, applied territory: software engineering for real systems, advanced database design, network information systems, management information systems, IT project management, and advanced systems analysis and design. Every module weaves a cyber security strand into the technical work. By the end of Level 5, you have the same baseline a second-year UK undergraduate would have.
Level 6 - Honours
Year
The OTHM Level 6 Diploma in Information Technology
You step into advanced, strategic territory. You complete a capstone project. You sharpen your specialism. You prepare for either employment or top-up degree progression. By the end of Level 6, you have the equivalent of a UK undergraduate honours-level foundation and the option to convert your credits into a full bachelor's degree.


What "120 Credits"
Actually Means
Credits are the international currency of academic recognition. Each 20-credit module represents roughly 200 hours of learning, including taught classes, lab time, supervised assignments, and independent study. With six modules per level, each level represents about 1,200 hours of structured learning. That is not a weekend bootcamp. That is a serious academic year.
This is why TGM Pathway graduates are taken seriously by universities, by international employers, and by professional certification bodies in a way that a short certificate simply cannot match.
Delivery Model
Blended learning: You attend in-person classes and labs at our Lagos centre and you also access learning, submissions, and feedback through our online learning management system. This means you get the discipline and contact of a real classroom and the flexibility of a modern online programme.
Weekday evenings and weekends: Our schedule is built for both full-time learners and working adults. You can hold a job, run a side business, or balance family responsibilities and still complete this programme on time.
Assignment-based assessment: OTHM uses an assignment-based model with no high-pressure end-of-year exams. You demonstrate your learning through written reports, technical projects, lab work, case study analyses, and presentations. This rewards consistent effort and produces graduates who can actually do the work.
