What the record actually says
Official requirement: four WASSCE credits (or equivalent) in not more than two sittings, or a Higher Teachers Certificate (Primary). The official list does not name English for this level; an English credit is assumed because the Polytechnic's Teachers Certificate requires one. 3 years. From Freetown Polytechnic's official programme list. Confirm current requirements with the Polytechnic before applying.
