Get Ready for the NABTEB Exams: Essential Tips for a Smooth Registration

The November/December National Business Certificate (NBC), National Technical Certificate (NTC), Advanced National Business Certificate (ANBC), and Advanced National Technical Certificate (ANTC) exams are fast approaching! As the exam dates draw near, it’s crucial to prepare thoroughly. The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) has released a comprehensive entry guide to streamline the registration process for all candidates.

How to Obtain Your NABTEB Registration PIN

To register for the NABTEB GCE as a private candidate, you’ll need a Registration PIN. Here’s where you can get yours:

• NABTEB Zonal Offices in major cities like Abuja, Kaduna, Yola, Osogbo, Enugu, and Benin City.
• NABTEB Liaison Office in Abuja.
• NABTEB Area Office in Lagos.
• NABTEB State Offices across Nigeria.
• NABTEB National Headquarters at Ikpoba Hill, Benin City.

Authorized NABTEB centers can assist with registration, but they must first obtain individual registration PINs from these locations.
