Why Choose NAAC?
Recognition/Accreditation: NAAC is approved by the Federal Ministry of Education and accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE). In deploying the American model, NAAC is gearing for US Regional accreditation.
Qualifications Offered: NAAC offers accredited National Diploma programs in a very unique way that assures relevance and continuous development in collaboration with credible and relevant industry partners. We also promise to offer associate degrees in joint and dual enrollments with articulated US institutions. As a community based and focused college, NAAC offers tailored certificates and certification courses and programs that fit industry and society demands.
✅International Transfer Opportunities: NAAC offers a seamless transfer pathway to renowned U.S. universities such as: Johnson C. Smith University, Tuskegee University, Tennessee State University. Earn up to 60 credit hours and complete your bachelor’s degree abroad — without losing time or credits.
✅ Direct Entry Opportunities: Students at NAAC have the opportunity of gaining direct entry admission to reputable universities after completing the National Diploma program to proceed to bachelor’s degrees locally and internationally.
✅ Digital Apprenticeship Opportunities: NAAC, in collaboration with highly credible international partners, offers the Digital Apprenticeship Program to honor youth aspirations while providing practical workplace skills, industry mentorship, and guaranteed career progression.
✅Hybrid Learning Model: Our flexible academic and training models blend online instruction with in-person attendance, as well as hands-on practical industry experiences (for example, our Transfer Credit students are given the opportunity of Residency Weeks each semester — giving students access to both convenience and community).
✅Admission Requirements: We operate an open admission policy whereby every eligible seeker of knowledge is given an opportunity. Different programs therefore have their admission requirements. Entry to the full-time National Diploma programs is secured through JAMB (Part-time students do not need to take the JAMB examinations but must register their admission with JAMB). Other students (for Associate Degree and Transfer Credit programs) only need their O’Level (WASSCE or NECO) results or equivalent — no JAMB required. Certificate and certification entry requirements are dictated by the various programs.
