Abstract

Quality technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is undoubtedly the fulcrum for national technological growth and development. It empowers individuals to be skillful, creative, employable and become responsible citizens. Accreditation has been regarded as an effective quality assurance instrument to assess quality of education including TVET globally. Accreditation ensures that institutions or programmes offered to the public have met the minimum prescribed standards and complied with the agreed minimum requirements. This paper examines the evolution of accreditation schemes especially among TVET institutions in Nigeria. The new development introduced into accreditation by NBTE over time and strategies that should be deployed to make accreditation a significant contributor to national development are examined in this study.
