The College of Education, Warri (COEWARRI) is a federal institution committed to training qualified teachers and education professionals for both primary and secondary schools. Every year, the college conducts a Post‑UTME/Admission Screening exercise for successful candidates seeking admission into its NCE (Nigeria Certificate in Education) Full‑Time and Part‑Time programmes.

For the 2026/2027 academic session, the Post UTME form is expected to be released soon (typically around July/August), and this article guides you through the requirements, how to apply, and what you need to know to successfully secure admission.
