a. Go to https://www.digitalnbte.nbte.gov.ng/Public/PUCVEIs
b. If you are using a mobile phone, switch it to desktop mode (a PC is better)
c. Use the search bar and enter the name of your state, for example, Lagos, to display the full Accredited TVET list for your state.

NBTE warns that candidates should not message or pay anybody on WhatsApp, Facebook, or other platforms for the list. “Any list not from the official website is fake,” the statement read. The official online list remains the only valid source, and sharing this information can help others locate accredited centers easily.
