Docenti Global Business School (DGBS) is a private business education provider based in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria.
The institution focuses on business management, leadership, entrepreneurship, and professional development. Its offerings include MBA programmes, doctoral-level studies, undergraduate pathways, and professional diplomas.
The school targets working professionals, business owners, and aspiring leaders seeking to develop their management skills through flexible learning and international academic partnerships.
Prospective students should distinguish qualifications awarded directly by Docenti from those awarded by partner institutions.
DGBS uses online and blended learning methods, including recorded lessons, live sessions, digital learning resources, and practical business activities. Its programmes combine academic concepts with workplace applications. This approach may suit students balancing work and study.
However, teaching arrangements, supervision, assessment methods, and qualification-awarding bodies may differ between programmes, so students should confirm these details before enrolling.
Regarding quality assurance, DGBS reports accreditation from the International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-Tertiary and Higher Education (QAHE).
QAHE’s published institutional record lists an accreditation period from 25 April 2024 to 24 April 2027. This is a form of private international quality assurance, not Nigerian government recognition of the institution as a degree-awarding university.
The school also lists membership of the American Accreditation Association and ISO 9001:2015 certification for its academic supervisory system. Membership and ISO certification should not be confused with statutory university accreditation.
DGBS also describes partnerships with the International Skill Development Corporation (ISDC) and European Global Institute of Innovation & Technology (EU Global).
It states that some programmes provide progression routes to qualifications awarded by partner institutions, including pathways involving Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA)-accredited qualifications.
These arrangements need to be checked programme by programme. Accreditation of an awarding body or a partner’s qualification does not automatically mean that every programme delivered or promoted by Docenti is accredited.
Students should obtain written confirmation of the exact awarding institution and the status of the qualification they will receive.
Overall, Docenti Global Business School offers flexible business-focused education and reports several external quality-assurance and partnership arrangements.
Its suitability depends on the specific course, the institution awarding the qualification, and whether the credential meets the student’s intended academic or career requirements.
Before enrolling, I recommend that you verify the relevant programme and awarding institution with the appropriate authorities, and confirm that the qualification will be accepted by your intended employer, university, or professional regulator.
Docenti Global Business School’s partnerships sound interesting, but students should carefully verify who awards the final qualification. Are all its MBA and doctoral programmes recognised by the relevant authorities?
