If you are worried about the TRCN Exam, I found this article on how to prepare and pass the TRCN exam helpful. Before we continue, let’s briefly recap TRCN’s duties.
What is TRCN?
The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) is the regulatory agency in charge of registering, licensing, and regulating teachers in Nigeria. Its principal responsibility is to ensure the professionalism, competency, and ethical behavior of teachers throughout the country.
TRCN manages the teacher certification process, establishing criteria for teaching credentials and administering exams to guarantee that educators fulfill the requisite capabilities. TRCN also creates and executes policies to improve the quality of teaching and learning in Nigeria’s schools. The council also offers professional development opportunities to help instructors improve their skills and expertise.
TRCN Teachers Categories
According to the TRCN, there are four levels of qualified teachers, and they are categorized from A to D as shown below:

TRCN is also planning to introduce a new policy where those who pass their exam will have just one year to register. Otherwise, their exam will become invalid after one year. This is similar to what the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is doing.
