Are you planning to apply for the FG TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) program as a student trainee? Great! But hold on, we’ve noticed that many applicants are submitting their applications through the wrong portal. If you’re applying under the Student Trainee category, using the Trainer’s Portal will automatically disqualify you.
To help you avoid common mistakes and increase your chances of being accepted, we’ve created this step-by-step guide on how to apply for FG TVET as a Student Trainee. Let’s walk you through the 5 key steps to submit your application successfully.
Step 1: Use the Correct Portal
If you’re applying as a student trainee, only apply through the official portal:
👉 https://tvet.education.gov.ng
Do not use the Trainers’ Portal — it’s meant for facilitators, not trainees.
Step 2: Choose Your Preferred Training Track
Carefully review the available training tracks listed on the site. Decide which course you’re passionate about and willing to commit to — this will be your skill path.
Step 3: Begin Your Application
Click “Apply” and begin your application by entering your NIN (National Identification Number) and Date of Birth.
Once verified, proceed to complete the sign-up process and create your profile.
Step 4: Provide Bank Account Details Carefully
You’ll be asked to submit your bank account number.
If your phone number is also your bank account number (like with some mobile money accounts), remove the first zero of the phone number to enable proper BVN verification.
Example: If your number is 08012345678, enter it as 8012345678.
Step 5: Select the Right Training Duration
Choose the training length based on your skill level:
Beginner – Select 6 months
Some Experience – Select 1 year
Pick wisely based on your familiarity with the course you chose.
Additional Tips
Phone Number Update for OTP
If you no longer have access to the phone number linked to your NIN, don’t panic.
After NIN verification, you can:
Delete the old number
Replace it with a new phone number that is linked with your NIN
This is important to ensure you receive your OTP successfully
Also, make sure:
Your phone has enough storage space
Your network signal is strong
Your SMS inbox is not full
Don’t let a small mistake cost you this opportunity! Follow these simple but important steps to ensure your FG TVET application is successful.
