Can I write TRCN exam?
Yes.
If you studied education in the University or went to a College of Education, you are automatically eligible to register for TRCN exam.
But if you studied a non-education course in the University or have HND, you will need to obtain a Post Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE, PDE, or PDDE) to be eligible for TRCN registration, certificate and license.

You are to possess and provide the following documents to complete your registration for TRCN exam.
- — SCHOOL CERTIFICATE: your NCE, Bachelor degree, Master degree, or Doctorate degree certificate.
- — TEACHING QUALIFICATION: if your school certificate is in Education (NCE, B.Ed, or M.Ed), you are already qualified to register for the exam. But if not, then you’ll need to also present a teaching qualification (PGDE, PDE, or PDDE) along with your school certificate.
- — Birth Certificate (photocopy).
- — Certificate of State of Origin (photocopy).

Now see how to register for TRCN exam
Once you have the required documents mentioned above, proceed with your TRCN exam registration as follows.
1. Go to any TRCN office
There is always a TRCN office in the capital city of every State in Nigeria.
We have made a list with the location, address and contact details of all the TRCN offices in Nigeria for you.
Visit the one nearest to you (in any State you are) and do NOT consult anyone outside these offices to avoid being scammed.
Some Colleges of Education are affiliated with TRCN.
So you can walk into the closest one, confirm their affiliation and complete your TRCN exam registration there too.
2. Request to register
Once you get to any of the TRCN offices or affiliated Colleges, tell the officer that you want to register for TRCN Professional Qualifying Examination (PQE).
You will be given the remita payment details to pay the appropriate sum to a “Federal account via Remita” based on your category.
How much is TRCN form?
Category ‘A’ (teachers with Ph.D) | ₦8,000 |
Category ‘B’ (teachers with Masters) | ₦7,000 |
Category ‘C’ (teachers with Bachelor Degree) | ₦6,000 |
Category ‘D’ (teachers with NCE) | ₦5,000 |
Take note.
The above TRCN exam registration fees apply when you visit the TRCN office yourself.
Affiliated Colleges of Education may charge higher amounts to cover the logistics of taking your form to and fro the TRCN office.
Affiliated Colleges may also require you to pay the money to them in cash but TRCN offices will require you to make the payment via remita to a Federal account.
3. Make the payment
Go to any bank or cyber café and tell them that you want to pay via Remita for TRCN exam.
Banks will do it without much ado but cyber café operators may need further guidance.
If they do, tell them to:
- Visit the REMITA PLATFORM.
- Select “Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria”.
- Select “Professional Qualifying Examination Application Fee”.
- Enter the GIFMIS code (get it from the TRCN officer)
- Input the amount, your name, phone number and email.
- Click on SUBMIT.
- Input their ATM card details.
- Click on “Make Payment”.
CAUTION!!
Do NOT give the cyber café operator (or anyone) your ATM card details because your account may be used to make further online payments without your consent.
Let the operator input their own card details for the payment while you refund them the money either as cash or transfer.
In fact.
If you are tech-savvy, you can even use your phone or computer to make the payment online following the same steps above.
4. Go back to the TRCN office
Return to any of the TRCN offices with your proof of payment (teller or remita receipt) and the required documents for registration.
5. Fill the registration form
After confirming your documents and proof of payment, the officer will give you the exam registration form to fill appropriately.
In the form.
There is a section for you to select one category between A, B, C and D.
Here’s the interpretation.
- Category (A) – if you are a PhD holder.
- Category (B) – if you are a Master degree holder.
- Category (C) – if you are a Bachelor degree or HND holder.
- Category (D) – if you are an NCE holder.
Select ONLY the category of your highest certification.
For example.
Let’s say Mrs Funmilayo has a Master degree, Bachelor degree, and an NCE.
She will ONLY select Category (B) which is her highest certification.
After completing the form and submitting your documents, you will receive your TRCN exam permit to be used to access the exam hall on your exam day.
Get your exam date from the officer and PLEASE exchange contacts with the officer for further enquires or information about your exam.

If you studied in a Polytechnic, then the certificate is not in education.
Polytechnics do not offer education courses, only Universities or Colleges of Education do.
