How to use the course catalog

Start with lesson topics, not just the title

Read the lesson outline to see what a course covers. For example, the software course lists paths such as web, mobile, backend and data, while the chef course covers kitchen work, food safety and knife skills. These are catalog descriptions that can help you choose what to explore; they do not show how many lessons you must complete or what a lesson awards.

Compare the listed fee with your game balance

The course fee is a virtual catalog price. Check the live screen for the current amount, payment timing and any prerequisites before enrolling. Keep enough Game Naira for visible recurring costs and the next activity you plan to try; the dataset does not show refunds or whether course fees are recoverable.

Treat the skill field as a label

Each course record includes a skill label, and some include a career ID that matches a career record. The snapshot does not explain whether enrollment raises the skill, how much it raises, or whether a matching career becomes available. Verify the displayed effect instead of treating the link as an unlock rule.

Compare a course with its career record

Check the linked career's listed skill

Where a course career ID matches a career record, compare the career's skill label and level titles in the table below. Matching IDs establish a catalog reference, not a promise that taking the course is required or sufficient to enter that career.

Read hours and schedule fields carefully

Career records include a start value, shift hours and a list of weekday numbers. The extracted data does not provide a verified time-zone display convention or map those numbers to the names shown in your interface. Use the live job panel for the actual schedule and attendance requirements.

Do not plan around catalog pay as guaranteed income

Career levels contain pay fields, but the snapshot does not define a universal payout interval or guarantee what your character will receive. The operator's Terms say simulated game conditions may change. Treat pay values as a dated comparison field and inspect the current job offer before committing.

A practical study-to-work checklist

1. Pick a path that fits your next goal

Choose a course by the lesson topics and skill label that align with the kind of play you want to try. If you only want to explore, compare a lower listed fee first and confirm the action is available before paying.

2. Check requirements in the live career screen

Before enrolling, note the career's current minimum skill, location, hours and listed level. The data export does not include a complete application process or prove that training changes any requirement.

3. Record the result after one course action

If you enroll or complete a lesson, check the relevant skill and career panel before and after. This shows what your version actually changed and avoids mistaking a course description for an implemented progression mechanic.

Courses and careers questions

How many courses are listed?

The 11 October 2026 extraction contains 13 course records and 33 career records. They are catalog counts for that snapshot, not proof that every entry is currently accessible in your account.

Does a Lagos Life course unlock its matching career?

The dataset links some course records to a career ID, but it does not define enrollment or unlock mechanics. Check the current career requirements in game before paying a course fee.

Are the course fees real money?

The fee fields are in-game catalog amounts. The official Terms describe Game Naira as a fictional game unit and explain that it is not cashable real money.

Course catalog and career references

The extracted course catalog contains 13 records. It provides each course's listed fee, lesson outline, skill label and, for some rows, a career ID that can be compared with the current 33-career table. It does not document enrollment steps, graduation effects or whether a course unlocks a job.
