NBTE Approves Seven New National Diploma Programmes for Kebbi Health College
The National Board for Technical Education has granted approval for seven National Diploma (ND) programmes at the Kebbi State College of Health Sciences and Technology in Birnin Kebbi. This accreditation enables the institution to formally begin offering these programmes to students.
Quick Insight: This development marks a major academic milestone for the college, which can now award recognised ND certificates that support further education and career progression.
New Programmes Now Accredited
The approved National Diploma programmes include Public Health Technology, Environmental Health Technology, Community Health Technology, Health Information Management, Medical Laboratory Technology, Health Education and Promotion, along with another newly authorised course. This expansion broadens educational opportunities in health sciences.
What This Means for Students
Students who enrol in these programmes will graduate with officially recognised qualifications. With ND certificates, graduates can pursue direct entry into university degree programmes or continue to higher national diploma (HND) studies in related fields.
Leadership Celebrates the Achievement
The chairman of the college’s governing council described the NBTE approval as an “unprecedented moment” in the institution’s history. He also praised the support of the Kebbi State government in prioritising educational development.
