TRCN PQE Exam Timetable and Diet Dates
TRCN runs the PQE in two diets a year: May and November. TRCN has not published specific calendar dates for individual 2026 or 2027 diets on its public pages — candidates are notified of their exact slot by SMS or email at least two weeks beforehand. Treat any specific date you see quoted elsewhere as unverified unless it links to an official TRCN notice.
What TRCN has confirmed about the exam
Content areas and weighting
Five areas, each worth 20%, per trcn.gov.ng/pqe-curriculum:
| Area | Weight |
|---|---|
| Pedagogy | 20% |
| Literacy | 20% |
| Numeracy | 20% |
| ICT | 20% |
| Safeguarding | 20% |
Literacy is subdivided further: Reading Comprehension 30%, Grammar & Structure 25%, Vocabulary 20%, Professional Communication Skills 15%, Writing Skills 10% — all within Literacy's overall 20% share.
What is not yet published
We searched trcn.gov.ng for a public exam calendar and found none — the "May and November" cadence is the only timing detail TRCN states generally. Exact diet dates for a given year appear to be communicated to registered candidates individually rather than posted publicly in advance. If you find an official TRCN page listing specific dates, that page overrides this one.
What to expect on exam day
TRCN's registration guide confirms the PQE happens after your registration and payment clear, as a computer-based test. Beyond the format above, TRCN's public pages do not detail venue or check-in procedures — these are likely communicated in the SMS/email notice with your slot.
Verified: trcn.gov.ng/pqe-curriculum — checked 14 September 2026. Specific 2026/2027 calendar dates not found published; treat any quoted date as unverified unless linked to an official TRCN notice.
