About Nigerian College of Accountancy (NCA)
The Nigerian College of Accountancy (NCA) was established in 1994 and is located in Kwall, near Jos, Plateau State. It is the official training arm of the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN), and its graduates go on to earn the Certified National Accountant (CNA) designation after completing a supervised practical training period. NCA is also a University member of the International Association for Accounting Education and Research (IAAER).
Unlike a conventional university or polytechnic, NCA does not admit through JAMB. Entry is based on an existing first degree, and successful graduates proceed into a professional membership pathway with ANAN rather than a fresh undergraduate certificate.
