Some announcements show up quietly, like they don’t want too much attention. But for those who’ve been waiting for a shot at public health, this might be the one worth noticing.
The School of Public Health and Disease Control Technology, Kano has opened applications for its National Diploma (ND) programmes. The forms are out and, as always, they’re selling them the old-school way — no online portal. You’ll need to show up in person.
Programmes You Can Apply For
The school has a solid list of health-related diploma courses, and if you’ve been thinking about a future in community health or records management, these might interest you:
- Epidemiology and Disease Control Technology
- Environmental Health Technology
- Public Health Technology
- Health Education and Promotion
- Community Health Technology
- Nutrition and Dietetics
- Health Records and Information Management
- Family Healthcare Technology
- Mental Health and Substance Abuse Management
These are all ND-level, so they’re open to school leavers who meet the entry requirements.
Admission Requirements
Here’s what you’ll need to qualify:
- At least five credits in your O’Level results
- Subjects must include English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics
- You can combine results from WAEC, NECO or NABTEB

If you’re missing any of these, better hold off and fix it first. No point wasting ₦7,500 on vibes.
How Much Is the Form?
It’s ₦7,500 only, not bad at all by today’s standards. But remember, they won’t give you the form until you show proof of payment.
