Accreditation and verification
Everything a parent, sponsor, or employer needs to confirm that the College and its programmes are recognised.
Verification
Two references that verify the College
Before paying any fee, confirm the College with the bodies that regulate it. The NCCE accredits colleges of education; JAMB lists the accredited ones for admission and gives each an institution code.
- NCCE accreditation reference
- To be confirmed by the College
- Issued by the National Commission for Colleges of Education.
- JAMB institution code
- To be confirmed by the College
- Select this code when registering for UTME with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
Who accredits the College
In Nigeria, the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) is the body that accredits colleges of education and the programmes they run. Only an accredited programme leads to a recognised Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE).
Who handles admission
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) conducts the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and processes admissions into colleges of education. JAMB does not accredit institutions; it lists those the NCCE has approved and assigns each an institution code that applicants select during registration.
Programmes
