COREN Technician study guide
COREN Technician · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
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. Its own site describes it as established by Decree 55 of 1970, amended by Decree 27 of 1992, and now operating under the Engineers (Registration, etc.) Act CAP E11, 2004, further amended by the Engineers (Registration, etc.) (Amendment) Act No 3, 2018. The Council's public-facing work is grouped into four areas that also frame what candidates should study: engineering education and accreditation; registration and practising licence; training and certification; and engineering regulation, monitoring and enforcement. COREN publishes no question count, time limit, passing score, fee or syllabus weighting for the Technician examination on the page retrieved for this profile, so treat any figure you see elsewhere as unverified until COREN confirms it. The COREN Technician study guide has 4 sections and about 1,319 words.
