The National Business and Technical Examinations Board, NABTEB is an examination board responsible for conducting the National Technical Certificate Examinations (NTC), Advanced National Technical Certificate Examinations (ANTC), National Business Certificate Examinations(NBC), Advanced National Business Certificate Examinations (ANBC), and Modular Trade Certificate Examinations (MTC).
ESTABLISHMENT OF NABTEB
The National Business and Technical Examinations Board, NABTEB, was established in 1992 to domesticate craft level examinations which were before then conducted by City & Guilds, Pittman’s, and Royal Society of Arts – all UK based in accordance with the provisions of the National Policy on Education.
The establishment of NABTEB was the climax of an evolutionary process that spanned 15 years from 1977 to 1992, in which four different government Panels were at different times set up to review the place and structure of public examinations in the nation’s educational system.
Each of these Panels advocated and justified the multiplication of the examinations bodies, and in particular, a separate body to perform the functions which NABTEB now performs. The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) under Decree 70 of 1993, and other examinations bodies were then established.
The Examination Board took over the conduct of Technical and Business Examinations formerly conducted by the Royal Society of Arts of London, City and Guilds of London, and the West African Examinations Council; Issue results, certificates and make awards in examinations conducted by the Board.

The Modular Trades Certificate Examinations (MTC)
The Modular Trades Certificate Examinations (MTCE) began in 2004. The MTC is for persons who wish to acquire effective capacity in components of a trade like Motor Vehicle Mechanics Work Trade (steering and braking system mechanic work module) Catering Craft Trade (food preparation module); Secretarial Studies Trade (typewriting 35WPM for Typist II module); Book Keeping Trade (purchasing and supply module).
NABTEB O’ Level
The Ordinary Level NABTEB (O’Level) is the type students use to combine with JAMB to gain admission into 100 level in universities. The O’Level NABTEB has the same authority as WAEC, NECO, and GCE variants.
The NABTEB O’Level is mostly popular among secondary school leavers who need to sit for another O-level examination in order to have their O’ Level courses complete. The registration of this examination can run between #13,000 to #35,000 depending on location and study centers.
NABTEB A’ Level Examinations (ANBC & ANTC)
NABTEB A’level exam is an advanced level of its O’Level and can only be taken by candidates who had earlier sat for and made their O’Level (NABTEB) examinations.
NABTEB A’level caters for those who wish to gain admission into Nigerian universities but have not been able to do so through JAMB. NABTEB A’level is thus an alternative to JAMB.
When you attend lectures in any of the approved NABTEB A’level Centres and pass, you can combine the result with the Direct Entry form and use it to gain admission into 200 level. Currently, not all universities accept NABTEB A’level. But, they all accept NABTEB O’level for 100 level admission. The NABTEB A’level registration runs from December until February every session
ANBC & ANTC certificates are equivalent to an OND and NCE. With NABTEB A’level Certificate, an applicant is placed on level 5 (especially in the civil service) in the Labour Market.
