Why Nanis

Formulation, not decoration

Most short courses teach a recipe. Nanis Formulations Academy teaches the science underneath the recipe, so a graduate can troubleshoot a failed batch, adjust a formula when a raw material changes, and scale a product from a beaker to a production line with confidence.

Every certificate programme sits inside a wider system built around five schools, a three level pathway, and a research centre dedicated to Ghanaian and African raw materials.

Led by a working formulator. The academy is founded by ENOCH ANANI; the Lead Formulator of Nanis Formulations, a manufacturing firm, which means every module is grounded in what actually happens on a production floor.

The Nanis Learning Pathway

Three levels, one direction: from principle to practice

Every student follows the same structure, whichever school they eventually specialise in. The concentration rises as the training progresses, from scientific thinking to a finished, market ready formulation business.

LEVEL 01

Foundation

Everyone starts here. No products are formulated yet. Students build the thinking that every later school depends on.

Scientific thinkingIngredient functionsSafetyMeasurementsFormulation principles

LEVEL 02

Product Specialization

Students choose a school and formulate real products within it, for example the School of Cleaning Product Science or the School of Personal Care Science.

LEVEL 03

Professional Practice

Formulation becomes a business. Students learn to manufacture consistently, control quality, and take a product to market.

Being trained by Nanis Formulations on how to formulate multipurpose liquid is the best experience I have ever had. His patience and well detailed explanations helped me improve a lot on my formulation journey. After implementing what I was taught, I have seen lots of positive feedback from my customers. I have never regretted joining the online class.

My training with you was very informative and interesting. I like how you take your time to explain things in detail for me to understand, and I can boldly formulate with ease. Thank you so much, I cannot wait to work with you again.
