- Registration Fees: Ranging from ₦7,600 to ₦12,100, depending on the candidate category and examination type.
- Deadline: Candidates are advised to register early, as the portal typically closes a few weeks before the exam date to allow for scheduling.
What It Means
The Federal Ministry of Education and state governments are increasingly enforcing TRCN compliance. Teaching without TRCN certification can now affect your eligibility for government recruitment, promotion, and even the accreditation of the private school where you work.
