What a Paleon ambassador does

You're the person on campus, in your NYSC set or in your group chats who points people to practical skills they can use, and who helps them try before they decide.

In practice that means three things:

Share

Share the free tools

The free 2-minute Career Match recommends a course, and the first lesson of every course is free to read with no account needed. Both are easy to share because they cost nothing.

Help

Help friends choose

Answer simple questions: which course fits Oil & Gas, Banking or Telecoms, how long it takes, that it's self-paced. For anything you're not sure about, send them to us on WhatsApp.

Refer

Refer the ones who are ready

When a friend decides to join, they sign up with your code. When their course is fully paid, you earn ₦5,000 and they earn ₦3,000 in airtime.

Who we're looking for

  • Final-year students and recent graduates at any university or polytechnic in Nigeria.
  • NYSC corps members, especially CDS group leads and people active in their state's corps member groups.
  • Department and faculty reps, student union officers, and club leads (tech, business, engineering, geography, environmental and safety societies).
  • Current and past Paleon students, who can talk about the courses first-hand.

What it costs

Nothing. You don't need to buy a course to become an ambassador. You only need a free Paleon Training account, which is where your personal code lives.

The best ambassadors are trusted and helpful rather than loud. Someone who shares once in the right group and answers questions honestly will refer more people than someone who posts everywhere.

Four practical courses, and two free ways to try them

CourseLengthGood for people aiming atTry it free
Cyber Security Fundamentals18 daysBanking, Telecoms, Oil & Gas (it has pathways for all three)First lesson
GIS and Drone Mapping9 daysOil & Gas, infrastructure, surveying, environmentFirst lesson
Digital Marketing8 daysBanking, Telecoms, any business with customersFirst lesson
HSE Fundamentals8 daysOil & Gas sites, construction, manufacturingFirst lesson
  • Self-paced: learners start any time after their payment is confirmed and study when it suits them.
  • Lifetime access to the course they buy.
  • Free Career Match: two questions (which industry, what kind of work), then an instant course recommendation. Try it yourself so you can describe it.
  • Fees are on each course page. Point friends there rather than quoting a price from memory.

Try at least one free lesson and the Career Match yourself before you start sharing. It's much easier to recommend something you've seen.

  • Rewards are issued by the Paleon team once a payment is confirmed. Allow a few working days for airtime or data.
  • Choose your reward type (airtime, data or course credit) on your referral page. Airtime and data go to the phone number you save on that page, so make sure it's correct.

Step 4

Step 5

Try it, then share

Do the Career Match and read one free lesson yourself, then share using the messages below.

Where sharing works best

Status

Your WhatsApp Status

Low effort and it reaches everyone who has your number. Post once or twice a week with a different message each time.

Groups

Class, department and NYSC groups

Only where the group allows it, and at most once a week per group. Ask the admin first if you're not sure.

1-to-1

Direct messages

The highest-converting channel. Message friends you know are job-hunting or unsure what to do after school or NYSC.

In person

Conversations

After a lecture, at CDS, at a career event. Show the Career Match on your phone. It takes two minutes.

What to say, in one line

"There's a free 2-minute Career Match that tells you which skill fits Oil & Gas, Banking or Telecoms, and you can read the first lesson free before paying anything."

Copy, add your link, send

Replace the parts in [brackets] with your own links and code. Change the wording so it sounds like you.

[your free-lesson link]
Tell me what you think.

Do this, not that

Do

  • Say "free first lesson" and "free Career Match".
  • Describe the friend's reward as ₦3,000 in airtime after their course is fully paid.
  • Share only where promotion is allowed, and respect group rules.
  • Send people to us on WhatsApp for questions you can't answer.
  • Be honest about what the courses are: practical, self-paced skills training.

Don't

  • Don't say "free course". Only the first lesson is free.
  • Don't call the welcome reward a discount or "₦3,000 off". It's paid after payment.
  • Don't promise a job, placement or salary. Paleon builds skills and employability; it doesn't guarantee a job.
  • Don't spam: no repeated posts in the same group, no mass-adding people to groups.
  • Don't refer yourself or create extra accounts. Self-referrals and duplicate accounts don't qualify.
  • Don't pay or bribe people to sign up, or collect course fees on Paleon's behalf. Friends always pay Paleon directly.

A referral counts once, on the friend's first confirmed course payment. Referrals that break these rules may not qualify. We may adjust or end the programme at any time. See the Refer & Earn page and our Terms.

Everything is on your referral page

Log in and open paleontraining.com/refer/me to see:

  • Your code and invite link, with copy and share buttons.
  • Your numbers: friends invited, signed up, paid, and how much you've earned.
  • Your referrals: each friend who signed up with your code, their status, and their reward.
  • How you want to be paid: airtime, data or course credit.
  • Top ambassadors: the leaderboard of paid referrals.

A friend shows as "Joined — not paid yet" when they sign up with your code, and "Paid — reward earned" once their course is fully paid. Your reward then shows as awaiting payout until the Paleon team issues it.

Frequently asked

Q1

Do I have to pay to become an ambassador?

No. You only need a free Paleon Training account. You don't have to buy a course.

Q2

How much do I earn?

₦5,000 for every friend who signs up with your code and pays for a course, with no limit. You choose airtime, data or course credit.

Q3

When do I get paid?

After your friend's course is fully paid. The Paleon team issues rewards by hand, so allow a few working days for airtime or data.

Q4

What does my friend get?

A ₦3,000 welcome reward in airtime after their course is fully paid. It isn't a discount on the fee.

Q5

My friend signed up without my code. Can it be added?

No. Codes are entered at registration, so make sure friends use your invite link or type your code when they sign up.

Q6

Does a friend who only tries the free lesson count?

Not for a reward. A referral qualifies only when the friend signs up with your code and their course is fully paid. Free-lesson visits still help: many people try before they buy.

Q7

Can I refer myself or use a second account?

No. Self-referrals and duplicate accounts don't qualify.

Q8

Can I promise my friends a job?

No. Paleon Training builds practical skills and employability, but it doesn't guarantee a job, placement or salary. Please don't promise one.

Q9

Who do I contact with questions?

Message us on WhatsApp at +234 707 714 9215 / +234 707 714 9989 (WhatsApp/Call) or email hello@paleontraining.com. Account problems: Support.
