- Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply without a farming background?
Yes. Many of our students are complete beginners. The Foundation level (Level 1) is designed specifically for people with no prior dairy farming experience. What matters is your commitment and willingness to learn.
How is the programme delivered?
Entirely online via the Lifeguide Dairy student platform. You will access video lessons, study materials, and live sessions through your dashboard. Live sessions are conducted on Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
Can I study at my own pace?
You can extend your study beyond the minimum 24 weeks if you need more time - life happens. However, you cannot move faster than the required minimum time per lesson or skip any module. All 3 levels must be completed in order.
What happens if I miss an instalment payment?
Access to Level 2 and Level 3 materials is gated by payment. If an instalment is overdue, a grace period of 14 days is given. After that, your access is paused until payment is made. Contact our support team immediately if you foresee any difficulty.
Is the certificate recognised?
The Lifeguide Dairy Professional Diploma is issued by Life Guide Dairy Consulting Firm Ltd.. Every certificate carries a unique verification code that can be confirmed online. We are an industry-recognised institution and our graduates work across Nigeria and Africa.
Can I get a refund?
Application fees are non-refundable. Acceptance fees and training instalments may be refunded within 7 days of payment if you have not accessed any course materials. Contact our admissions team with your reference number.
Are there scholarships or sponsorships available?
Yes. Lifeguide Dairy accepts corporate and individual sponsorships to fund student tuition. You may apply for consideration on our Sponsorship page, or connect with an accredited sponsor directly.
