No, a credit pass in English Language is a compulsory admission requirement for all Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) programmes at the Federal College of Education, Okene, and other accredited institutions in Nigeria.
General admission requirements for NCE programmes typically stipulate that candidates must have a Senior Secondary School Certificate (SSCE), GCE 'O' Level, or NECO with passes in five subjects, including English Language, with at least three of those being credit level passes at one sitting or four credits at two sittings.
A pass grade (e.g., E8, D7) is generally not accepted in lieu of a credit grade (C4, C5, C6) for English Language. The college is guided by the regulations of the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), which mandate this requirement.
To be eligible for admission, you would need to retake the English Language O-level examination (WAEC, NECO, GCE) and obtain a credit pass. You can check the specific requirements on the Federal College of Education Okene portal when applying.
