  3. Please i was denied promotion in my working place as a lecturer in a college of Education just because i hold NTI PGDE result spart from M.Sc. in my normal area of specialization. I was forced to obtain another teaching qualification elsewhere before i was promoted,. Now i have PGDE certificate from NTI in affiliation with UsmanDanFodio University. I am trying to appeal to my management to place me properly.

  5. Please, I want to apply for the PGD program. I’m an HND holder based in Kaduna. I really want to know how relevant is the PGDE in Nigeria and when is it closing for this year.

    • English is generally compulsory in Nigeria. Such a low grade in English reduces your chances of being accepted. If, perhaps, you have plans to write the SSCE for Private Candidates (Nov/Dec), you may try it out.

    • thanks real good for your prompt answer.
      I have been taking with the D7 in English, but my fear is, will it frustrate me when I would finish the program to collect my certificate? I will definitely write it but I didn’t intend to write it soon. What can you advise me on that sir?

  6. Is pgde certificate offered by NTI acceptable to study masters in public health?

  29. Good evening Mr Amoo I have HND in mass communication want to put in for my PGDE please which course related to it? More so how do I go about getting the form? Thanks

    • Visit my.nti.edu.ng to register. The NTI PGDE is generic. You would however likely specialise in English during your teaching practice. Lectures hold on weekends. I hope this summary information helps.

  33. Greetings to u Educleb. With respect to other questions snd replies you hahe given here. I thank you much.
    My questions are:
    1. If one has a B.Sc cert and a M.Sc cert, do such person still need to present his/her O’level for registration?
    2. I heard that students are made to procure tablets (costing like N46,000) which contains the lesson modules or e-handouts. Is this claim true or it was used to be so and hss stopped or is it still like that?
    3. With professional MSc and PGDE, do one still need to do M.ed before going for PhD?

    Thanks.

    • 1. Yes, the O’level is still required
      2. No tablet is being given anymore
      3. A professional masters cannot be used to proceed to PhD. PGDE suffices as a teaching qualification after which you can do a M Ed. if you don’t previously have that.

  34. Hello sir. I am very passionate about putting in for this programme. However my subject of interest is either Mathematics or Physics even though my first degree is in Agricultural Economics.

  51. When is the registration form for 2020/2021 session will be out?

    What is the fee for the form?
    What is the total cost for the pgde programmes?

  52. It is absolutely unfortunate that since we finished this program in 2017, we are yet to see our result not even first semester result. No certificate to show we did the program after spending so much money, time and energy. We have complained to the authorities that be but nothing seems to be done about it.
    Is this how we want to take over the world? When our system is in absolute mess. How do you hold people’s result to ransom? A lot of people borrowed money for the fear of not being fired in their little jobs as a teacher and yet you have failed to make that investment of time, money and energy count for them. I know of so many of my classmates who were pregnant during that period, they took the pain to write test, teach in schools and wrote projects and yet nothing seem to be done about this. Are we not all deceiving yourselves in this nation?
    I just hope for the best!!!

  53. @educeleb plus when will 2021/2022 admission list be out? I mean for ppl that registered 2021. How will I know I’ve been offered admission? Cos I registered with a wrong phone number.
