COREN - the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria - is the statutory body set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria with the mandate to regulate the practice of engineering in all aspects and ramifications. It was established by Decree 55 of 1970, amended by Decree 27 of 1992, and now operates under the Engineers (Registration, etc.) Act CAP E11, 2004, further amended by Act No 3, 2018. The COREN Professional Examination is the professional gateway for engineering graduates seeking registration and a practising licence; the Council also administers the professional oath and inducts engineering graduates at universities across the country. The published examinable areas follow the Council's own directorates: engineering education and accreditation; registration and practising licence; training and certification, including professional proficiency development and certification; and engineering regulations monitoring and enforcement. The COREN Civil study guide has 4 sections and about 1,306 words.
