TRCN Portal: How to Log In at trcn.gov.ng

TRCN's main portal is trcn.gov.ng. Registration and general services live there. PQE candidate sign-up — where you get your exam number and slip — is a separate subdomain: teachers.trcn.gov.ng/cbt. A domain called teachers.gov.ng does not exist (it does not resolve) — do not confuse it with the real teachers.trcn.gov.ng.

Using the PQE candidate portal

At teachers.trcn.gov.ng/cbt you sign up with your full name, email, phone number, 11-digit NIN, and your qualification certificate or matric number (plus your existing TRCN number if you already have one). No prior account is required to start. TRCN verifies your qualification first; payment only opens once that clears, and your exam number and slip are issued after payment.

A common mix-up

teachers.gov.ng is not a TRCN address and does not resolve to any live site — we confirmed this directly (no DNS record, connection fails). If a search result or forwarded message points you there, it is wrong. The genuine candidate portal is teachers.trcn.gov.ng/cbt (note the extra "trcn." and the "/cbt" path).

If the portal will not load

Check you typed trcn.gov.ng exactly — not teachers.gov.ng.
Try switching between mobile data and Wi-Fi; some Nigerian networks are slow to resolve government sites at peak hours.

If the outage persists across networks, it is on TRCN's end — wait and retry rather than resubmitting the same form repeatedly.
