Why study with us
RECTEM's School of Part-Time Studies was established for learners who need recognised qualifications without leaving employment. Many polytechnics in Nigeria—including urban and faith-based institutions—now offer evening, weekend, or blended schedules so technicians, teachers, and business staff can upgrade their credentials.
Part-time students follow the same NBTE curricula as full-time cohorts in engineering, management, environmental, and science programmes. Assessment, SIWES, and graduation requirements are equivalent; only the timetable differs. This ensures your certificate reflects the same national standards employers trust.
Whether you are returning to education after years in industry or combining study with family responsibilities, RECTEM provides structured support, access to faculty, and technology-enabled learning materials.
Academic pathways
Part-time ND and HND pathways follow the same NBTE curriculum standards as full-time study, with schedules designed for working adults. Students attend lectures and practical sessions on agreed timetables while maintaining access to RECTEM facilities, faculty support, and the online learning resources used across the college.
Flexible scheduling
Lecture and practical sessions are arranged to reduce conflict with working hours. Students plan study around employment while meeting attendance and assessment deadlines set by each department.
Same NBTE standards as full-time
Curriculum content, credit units, and SIWES expectations align with national polytechnic norms. Your ND or HND certificate is not labelled differently—quality is maintained through the same course specifications and external oversight.
Technology-supported learning
Lecture materials, assignments, and collaboration tools supplement face-to-face teaching—helping part-time students review content between sessions and stay connected with classmates and lecturers.
Access to all RECTEM schools
Part-time learners may pursue programmes offered by the School of Engineering, Management, Environmental Science, and Science and Technology, subject to departmental admission and timetable availability.
Mentorship and student support
Academic advisers help you choose programmes, plan semesters, and prepare for SIWES and examinations. RECTEM's administrative and admissions teams are available to guide registration, fees, and progression.
Career advancement for working adults
Completing an ND or HND part-time can unlock promotions, salary improvements, and eligibility for professional courses. Many students study specifically to meet employer requirements or regulatory thresholds in their industries.
