As a school owner, you are expected to acquire teaching profession, either through the NCE or Degree programme but if you are from other disciplines, you are expected to do PGD in any Education programme after graduation.

I have my certified teaching certificate from the universities in this country and abroad.

It is now by law that every teacher or educationalist at Primary or Secondary levels need to take TRCN exam in order to become a registered Teacher in Nigeria and you will be issued with a certificate and ID Card renewable every 3 years. You can visit any TRCN offices for clarification. However, if you are a certified teacher in abroad, you can apply for a waiver.

They are located at Iya-Ipaja Beside NYSC camp and TUC office at Coker Road, Ilupeju, Lagos.

 

[Marvelous Int School]

Notwithstanding, If you have a certified university certificate in Nigeria and abroad and you are not registered with any country’s Council of Education Board, you can not be considered for a waiver. You will need to take TRCN exam.

TRCN is what qualifies you as a professional. Firstly, to be a practicing teacher. Secondly, to be a qualified school owner. No Law graduate from even Harvard is qualified as a lawyer until they attend law school and pass the Bar Exams. So for you to be a qualified practicing teacher and school owner, you. MUST write TRCN exams and pass. It is applicable to professors in the universities too. They are Category A.

TRCN POLICY ENFORCEMENT UPDATE.

(Do not wait until enforcement exercise but comply in good time)

The TRCN enforcement in 2027 is indeed a reality, and here's the update: the Federal Government has directed that all secondary school teachers in Nigeria must be certified by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) by 2027 to serve as examination centers for national exams like WASSCE, NECO, NABTEB, and NBIAS. Schools are expected to achieve 75% compliance by 2026 and full compliance by 2027.

The specific deadlines are:
- *March 2027* for WASSCE
- *May 2027* for NABTEB
- *June 2027* for NECO and SAISSCE

Schools that fail to comply risk losing accreditation as examination centers. The government encourages non-education graduates with at least 12 months of classroom experience to take advantage of the abridged professional certification program offered by the National Teachers Institute (NTI)

*Prerequisites:*
TRCN certification, you'll need to follow these steps ¹:

- *Register with TRCN*: Visit your nearest TRCN state office or register online through their official website.
- *Meet Eligibility Criteria*: Ensure you have the required academic qualifications, such as NCE, B.Ed, PGDE, or a relevant degree.
- *Submit Documents*: Provide necessary documents, including proof of payment, academic certificates, and passport-sized photographs.
- *Write Professional Qualifying Examination (PQE)*: Pass the PQE to demonstrate your teaching competence.
- *Get Licensed*: Upon passing, you'll receive your TRCN certificate and license.

The certification process is crucial for teachers in Nigeria, as it's a requirement for employment and accreditation of schools. Non-education graduates with at least 12 months of teaching experience can enroll in an abridged certification program at the National Teachers Institute (NTI).
