TOP REASONS WHY EVERY PHOTOGRAPHER NEED THE NABTEB TRADE CERTIFICATE IN PHOTOGRAPHIC PRACTICE

TWELVE (12) REASONS WHY YOU NEED THE NABTEB TRADE CERTIFICATE IN PHOTOGRAPHIC PRACTICE AS A PHOTOGRAPHER

1. The NABTEB Trade Certificate shows you have a broad understanding of the photography industry, the practical skills and knowledge required in the industry.

2. The NABTEB Trade Certificate is of higher grade than City and Guild of London Institute, The Royal Society of Arts and Pitman. It is the only Business and Technical Certificate recognized by the Federal Government for upward mobility in career development and educational pursuit.

3. 95% of NABTEB certified skilled photography tradesmen now get job placement easily in the professional industries most especially in the media, multinational companies and government agencies.

4. NYSC (National Youth Service Corp), NDE (National Directorate of Employment), NDDC (Niger Delta Development Commission) and a host of others are looking for NABTEB certified skilled men to employ on full time or part time basis to help train others for them in their Skill Acquisition Scheme.

5. NABTEB Trade Certificate is recognised and accepted anywhere in the world just as WAEC/NECO is recognized and accepted anywhere in the world. You can use it to practice or get job as a photographer anywhere without any discrimination. It can aid your VISA documentation process.

6. If you are a trained or practising photographer who is doing the business of photography, you do not need any other practical training inorder for you to pass the exam. The exam is very easy to pass and it is practical base. You have full guarantee of passing the exam. It is written in one day and it is aimed at testing your practical knowledge of the trade.

7. If you are looking for funding, loan, business grant or financial support for your photography business, the NABTEB Trade Certificate becomes a necessity most especially if the organisation is a government agency. The certificate is a proof that you are well trained and have mastery of the photography trade.

8. Having the NABTEB Trade Certificate removes from you the stigma of academic inferiority complex placed on tradesmen by the society. With your National Technical Certificate (Modular) in Photographic Practice, you are recognised as one with higher education and practical skills which differentiate you from an illiterate.

9. With the NABTEB Trade Certificate you can easily get recruited into the Nigeria Police Force, Air Force, Military, Civil Defence etc as a skilled tradesman even without o’level result.

11. NABTEB Trade certificate is a proof that the holder is skilled. Learning a skill and completing it without technical certificate is like attending secondary school and not sitting for WAEC. It doesn’t mean that such person is not learned, but when the time to use the certificate arrives, such person has no proof. And this may hinder career advancement at some level.

12. NABTEB Trade certificate is higher than SSCE (WAEC/NECO) because it is a professional certificate with higher entry point in the public/civil service.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Go get your NABTEB Trade Certificate in Photographic Practice. You already have the skill, then go get the certificate. Don’t be inferior to your colleague in the industry because of certificate. The industry is very competitive, do not let others be ahead of you and get better opportunities because of just a certificate. If anyone can have it then you can.

IF YOU ARE NOT A TRAINED PHOTOGRAPHER, you can register in our vocational training centre for hands-on practical training in photography that will enable you to pass the NABTEB Trade exam and also do the business of photography effectively.

Photo trip with my students to Bower’s Tower Tourist Centre, Ibadan

Photography is life. Had a nice time shooting with my students at Bower’s Tower Tourist Centre, Ibadan. It was fun, interesting and very educative for me as a photo journalist. The trip afforded me a rare opportunity of seeing the city of Ibadan from another perspective and a unique angle. Standing at the highest point in Ibadan city (Bower’s Tower at the top of Oke-Are, one of the seven hills in Ibadan), I saw what I have never seen before concerning Ibadan landscape. It reminded me of similar trip to Idanre hill, Akure in Ondo State.

Thanks to my photography students for making me to join them in this trip despite my very busy schedule. I took these selfies with my smartphone.

Exploring the aerial view of the ancient city of Ibadan at the top of Bower’s Tower

Exploring the aerial view of the ancient city of Ibadan at the top of Bower’s Tower (the highest point in Ibadan). These are some of the pictures my students got as part of the photo collection for their photography project.

About Bower’s Tower Tourist Centre, Ibadan: Bower’s Tower can be seen at the top of Oke-Are in Ibadan. It is an historic monument put up to honour Captain Robert Lister Bower in 1936 – he was the first British Resident in Ibadan, and appointed by the British government to administer the ancient city, which he did between 1893 and 1897. The Bower’s Tower was designed by Taffy Jones, the engineer that designed Mapo Hall.

The tower is 60 feet high and 11 feet square with two entrances and a spiral staircase that leads to the top of the tower. From the summit of the tower, you can see Ibadan round about sprawling before you and appreciate the pre-historicity of the town. The Bower Tower is someplace to check out if you happen to be in Ibadan.

Bower’s Tower is located on the summit of Oke-Are, the highest hill in Ibadan, from which one enjoys a commanding view of the city. Oke-Are (“The Army Chief’s Hill”) is the site central to Igbo-Agala (Agala Forest) in Sapati Area.

The monument was erected in 1836 as a memorial to Captain Robert Lister Bower, the first British resident in Ibadan and the Travelling Commissioner for the interior of Yoruba land (as the stiffly officious British termed his office), South western Nigeria between 1893 and 1897. From the top of the Tower, the ancient city lays before you, spread out in her splendor; but today, getting to the peak of the Tower will not make one see more that 1/3 of the great city of warriors.

Anyone with a good vision can see the Lagos-Ibadan toll gate as well as Ife- Ilesha toll gate from the top of the Tower. One can also see the whole of UCH, University of Ibadan, the Polytechnic of Ibadan, the Adamasinga stadium and the colourful conference of rustic brown metal roofs which covers a larger percentage of the buildings in the city.
