The COREN Professional Examination is the assessment route by which engineering graduates in Nigeria move toward registration with the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), the statutory body empowered to regulate engineering practice in the country. COREN was established by Decree 55 of 1970, amended by Decree 27 of 1992, and now operates under the Engineers (Registration, etc.) Act CAP E 11, 2004, further amended by Act No 3, 2018. The COREN Electrical study guide has 5 sections and about 1,443 words.
