    • SCHOOL CERTIFICATE: your NCE, Bachelor degree, Master degree or Doctorate certificate.
    • TEACHING QUALIFICATION: if your school certificate is in education (NCE, B.Ed, or M.Ed), you’re automatically qualified for the exam. But if not, then you need to also present a teaching qualification (PGDE, PDE, or PDDE) in addition to your school certificate.
    • PROOF OF ORIGIN: National Identity Card, Voter’s Card, International Passport or any document to confirm that you’re a Nigerian.

    As a Nigerian teacher in diaspora, proceed with your TRCN exam registration as follows:

    1. Confirm your documents

    Ensure that all the required documents mentioned above are ready before starting your registration process.

    The fee is paid into the Federal Government account and there is no refund afterwards, no matter the reason.

    2. Pay the fees

    Payment to register for TRCN abroad is done via an online platform called “REMITA”.

    The fee for “online PQE” (the TRCN exam) you intend to write without travelling down to Nigeria is ₦30,000 (as seen on their latest circular shared below).

    remita currency

    You’ll notice that the box under “Select currency” is auto-filled as NGN – NIGERIAN NAIRA which cannot be changed.

    So, it is best to have a Nigerian bank account or pay through a TRUSTED third-party. (We offer this service. CLICK TO SEE HOW)

    • Under “Payer’s name“, enter your FULL NAME as they appear on your certificate.

    You can also use a Nigerian number but let any number used be active and accessible to you because TRCN will add that number to a WhatsApp group and also keep in touch with you through that number.

    • Under “Payer’s email“, enter your active EMAIL ADDRESS.
    remita email

    You will receive the receipt of your payment to that email and TRCN will also be contacting you on it.

    • Click the I’M NOT A ROBOT box and wait for it to tick.
