Hello House

Is there any school that accepts HND + PGDE(NTI) for an M.Ed admission?

Thank you

I think you don't need to pass through the journey of going back to start all over(but if you have the time & money, U can jump on the train).
For me you can go for your pgd in Mass comm, then go for your Msc after that go for your PhD, but ensure that all your qualifications are in the same field. Also, before you complete your PhD ensure that you have papers you have published. I bet you with your PhD and your publications, Universities 'll beg you to come lecture ("but ensure you know your course as the back of your hand").
I have a friend who pass through this process and he his lecturing in one of the Federal Universities.

However, if you still insist in going to the University, you can try UNISA and complete your degree within a year (online) and it's a recognized degree (I have a friend who used the degree to further his Msc in UNILAG).
Well, with all the ideas given above you have lots of options to pick from. Good luck

some people and can lie/discourage/say nonsense in africa......if you know people even if you don't buh your result is good you can lecture.....dre are plenty hnd holders lecturing in kadpoly don't mind dose discouraging / saying rubbish

na2016:
At 42 with only an HND, I strongly think you are too old to start a lecturing career in a University. I have very good reasons to tell you not to waste your money and time.

Shut up. Thank me later.

I'm in the system, working in a polytechnic, state owned. This is not hearsay, assumption, direct experience. With HND you can only be employed as a technologist or instructor(high cgpa). Note lecturer cadre is different from instructor cadre. I repeat, in Nigeria, no university will employ him as a lecturer even with HND+PGD+MSC, only polytechnic can. Many lecturers in the polytechnic with HND+PGD+MSC are now going back for degree so that can they have the opportunity to work in the university. Gone are the days HND are employed as instructor in the university and rise to be a professor. OP, my advice for you, if you really want to work in academics settings get the degree, and then your master. Dont go through the PGD+MSC path especially if you wish to work later as a reaseacher(lecturer) in the university. You will surely need the degree. This information is from a reliable source, i'm one of the victim of this abnormal system in this country. Be wise in your decision, dont waste your money and time. We are in the same age bracket, age is not a barrier to achieve your dream but take wise decision now. If you've academic Godfather you can neglect this advice. Goodluck

God bless u sir for this nice writeup. Am an educational consultant and I tell people this. I know both university and polytechnic system and am always present if they are interviewing people for lecturing job. God bless u ones a gain. You just thrash it out.

Nwaonyeocha: You should really listen to this man. In fact befriend him already

Yes people have really answered your question very well. As an addendum, just go for your BSc because no university, I repeat no university will employ you as a lecturer even if you have bagged your PhD as long as your first degree is HND. Yes as someone said, MBA is a professional master's degree, hence it is not accepted for lecturing. Just do your BSc Business Administration, MSc Business Administration and you're good to go. You can also enroll for your ICAN while doing your BSc, it will improve your chances. Goodluck

Just a quick question. Does your BSc grade matter? Let's assume your PGD result is good, does your BSc result still count when it comes to lecturing job?

Nwaonyeocha:
The picture you created is too glaring to ignore.

Learning a wonderful thing. Whenever great minds meet, there is a rob off. I never knew MBA has nothing to do academically. B.Sc, here I come!

Wise Decision. Its never too late to get back to the right line. Remember to seek God's direction as well as human advises are limited

ANDREW2EIC:


You can check out University of Uyo. I currently have a course mate who joined us in 300level with Distinction in HND, and his performances have been excellent. Your chances of graduating with a first class is very high if you actually know your stuff.

Sir, I have upper credit, hope am safe?

Nobleking2000:


Thanks for the insights but can one use his OND result to enrol into the university through direct entry instead of starting from the scratch.

Yes

Scholar8200:
Sir, how acceptable is a NOUN B.Sc?

u better don't try it

Presently without B.Sc as his basic...he might not reach his lecturing dream in Nigeria universities

Carmal90:
Am also considering going for bsc next year all things be equal, I studied engineering,pls if u have clues if university in Nigeria Within South West that I can apply and be admitted to 300level. Pls and pls hint me

none will admit u into 300l

I share the same dream as U OP, and I equally have HND. I have chartered certificates and MBA. After series of embarrassment and harassment, I went back for Bsc. MY candid advice is forget any short cut (PGD) and start from scratch.

shehuolayinka:


Truly sir, you just made my day. Learnt a lot from your story. Thanks sir
Do you think going to NOUN or Unilag DLI would be OK? I also have HND in Mass Communication.

Unilag DLI is very OK. drop the idea of Noun

ade2008:


No university will employ him as a lecturer even with HND+PGD+MSC, only polytechnic can. Even to be employed in a polytechnic the PGD should be in the core field(mass comm not in education+ MSC. Academic carreer for HND is very narrow , you can only work as a technologist, so my advice is obtain a degree if you're passionate about working in academic as lecturer. I'm a senior technologist working in a polytechnic , speaking from experience

That is not correct. With an HND, you are taking as instructor in both polytechnic or university. Once you do a 9 months Pgd program, you become at per with the degree & then you can go for higher degree. I had an instructor during undergraduate days. He went for his Pgd in another university while we were still there. When I browsed details about my old school earlier this year, he was already a prof. I am not guessing, but this is what happened. But let me agree with you that the Pgd must be in the course where you have the HND or options of the course.

Laryne:


Please I need your advise as well. Can I apply for a lecturing job in a polytechnic with my B.A (Ed) certificate?

yes of course you can. Even some colleges of Education will gladly accept you.

Scholar8200:
