Benefits of the YABATECH Part-time Programme

As a part-time student in YABATECH, you can work and study at the same time. The lecture timing gives you the flexibility to do so.

2. Learn a Skill while studying

If you do not have a job but have someone sponsoring your education, you can learn a skill while studying. This gives you an edge in the job market. 

3. Switch to a Full-time programme

Candidates applying for the ND part-time programme can switch to the HND full-time programme or do a direct entry to a university full-time programme after completing the ND programme. This allows you to participate in the one-year National Youth Service Scheme (NYSC).

4. Study in a Reputable School

YABATECH is among the most reputable schools in Nigeria. As a Yaba College of Technology graduate, you will easily stand out among your peers during your job search. YABATECH graduates are perceived as top-notch all over Nigeria.

5. School Fee Flexibility

You can decide to pay half of your school fee in the first semester instead of paying all at once. Once you have made the half payment, you will get your matriculation number and you will be able to write the school exams. In the second semester, you have to pay the remaining half to be able to write the semester’s exams.

6. Fast Academic Calendar

The YABATECH Part-time programme academic calendar is fast compared to some other schools in Nigeria. Within a period of two years and some months, you will be done with your programme.

A semester takes 14 weeks to be completed (3 months and two weeks) after which the school will go on a few weeks break before the resumption of the second semester. A whole academic session lasts for about 7-8 months.

7. Strike Free

ASUP strike does not affect the part-time students in YABATECH. If ASUP goes on strike while you are schooling, you will continue to have lectures, text and do your exams at the right time.

8. Study in a Serene Environment

The study environment here is calm. There are fewer distractions. If you need a quiet place to study, there are outlets where you can go to study apart from the school library.

You also have access to the school library but you can only use the library before it closes by 4 pm. During exam periods, the Library is usually open for long periods.

YABATECH is a cult-free campus so you or your ward is free from harassment from cult groups.

9. Direct Entry

After completing your ND or HND part-time programme, you can do a direct entry to any University of your choice. As a reputable school, YABATECH graduates are readily accepted for direct entry into any University in Nigeria.

However, you must graduate with a good result as most Federal government Universities accept only upper or distinction students.

10. Study Abroad Advantage

YABATECH certificates are accepted in American and European universities. With your ND or HND certificate, you can travel abroad to complete your education.

Do I need JAMB to Apply for the YABATECH Part-time Form?

No, you do not need to write the JAMB UTME exams to apply for the YABATECH part-time programme. This is not only applicable to YABATECH alone. Every school that offers part-time programmes do not require JAMB UTME exams from applicants before they can apply.

JAMB UTME exams are only compulsory when you want to apply for full-time programmes.

You may be wondering why this is so;

The part-time programme is designed for people who want to work and study at the same time. It is also an avenue for tertiary institutions to make a lot of money. Hence the application process is not as rigorous as the full-time programmes.

The application process is made extremely easy so many students can apply. However, if you are not properly guided in the application process, you may lose your chances of getting admission without knowing what happened.

YABATECH does not conduct any form of entrance examination for admission. Once you apply and meet the criteria for admission, you will be given admission.
