In service teachers are given their licence and then will go through training i.e Continuos Assessment Development and then renew their licence in 2-3 year after.

He said, it is pre-service teachers who are required to write their licensure exams before they are employed to teach in our schools.

In addition, he said, the March and September licensure exams result will be out in the first week of February. And added that, you will have to pay before you are given your licence.
