The NBTE further emphasized that “any list not sourced directly from the official website is fake.” This move is intended to guide candidates, investors, and stakeholders in the technical and vocational education sector by providing accurate, verified information straight from the source.
Applicants are strongly advised to disregard any unofficial or third-party lists circulating online.
The board also noted that further updates regarding FME TVET postings will be released once the trainee list is finalized and officially published.
