You too can take advantage of LOW FEES charged for Professional Certification courses for NYSC Corp members in Nigeria. This article will be of great benefit to you and guide you on the choice of professional certification Programs to acquire during your service year.
To complete NYSC without building necessary values to yourself, at least by acquiring a professional certification, would be very wasteful, it would be a pitiable situation to ever think your first degree is sufficient to sustain you during your job search, you sure need an additional certification.
I call it job search because after you have completed your one year compulsory service to your dear nation, the next is to start job hunting to sustain yourself. I will also love to say here that as a graduate, who has completed NYSC, it will be shameful to go back to your parents or any relative and start depending on them for your upkeep. Please never do that.
Truth be told, what you call first degree is just like a candy in the confectionery store that is sold 3(three) for $2 (two Dollars), from statistical survey, 75 out of every 100 persons you come across daily are graduate, out of the 75, 45 have their masters degree, that makes it even more compelling that you build more value to yourself by acquiring a professional certification.
What Do You Know About Professional Certification?
In a way, you may be wondering what i mean by professional certification, nowhere it is, you will often come across some employment requirements, some companies would refer to it as Additional Qualification,
You would often see something like, ‘additional qualification will be an advantage’ by this they mean a candidate with a professional certification will be more useful to them and as such will be more considered for the job.
What is Professional Certification?
Professional Certification is a process of acquiring an additional and relevant qualification and skills that will make a you more like an expert in your relevant field and, more useful in a given industry, by this, a person proves that he or she has the knowledge, experience and skills to perform a specific job and the tasks in which they have been trained.

Hi Adams Sharu,
How do you do? You stand a lot of advantages to enroll for Professional Courses in Nigeria while you are in the Service of the NYSC.
Personally, during my service in 2011 had the opportunity utilized. Make sure you are studying in an Institution recognized by the government, especially in a Federal or State Institution. For Instance, you may want to enroll for ICAN.
Good Morning Sir,
As a result of the pandemic ongoing which is gradually reducing the months expected to undergo the NYSC, is it possible to still undergo this PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION COURSES knowing full well that the date of school resumption,etc is yet to be announced?
For example we have less than 8months to complete the one year scheme(Batch A1 2020 precisely).
Thanks alot Sir!

Hi Ajayi, its a real good passion you have with building your skills during your National Youth Service year.
Your certification for Digital marketing through Google is an International rating for you. You might want to ask other Youth Corps colleagues of new professional courses they know about.

I’m confused about everything. I know the professional certification course I want to go for but I have no idea how to go about it.
Hi Sophie, this is simple. Choose a professional course that’s relevant to what you studied.
Approach the office for the Professional programme, fill the application form, indicate that you are a corps member with your Identification card, pay for the fees, and then your programme starts.
I have another big issue. I was posted to a village and all my plans of acquiring a professional certificate have been shattered. How would you advise a village corper?
Please sir, I had plans to go for the professional course but I was posted to a village. I’m terribly confused right now. Is all hope lost for me?
No, Saphiya, your posting doesn’t affect your access to the professional programme. Usually the study centre for most Professional courses takes place at the state capital of the State of deployment. Except if there are no other, study centres in other cities near to your residence, you should find the location of the study centre, get the Study timetable after registration, and strike a balance with your Course facilitator.
