2025 TVET Exam starts June 30: Over 55,000 students to sit the exam

A total of 55,295 students are expected to sit the 2025 TVET Exam, which starts on June 30th. The over 55,000 candidates comprise 40,339 males and 14,956 females. The Certificate II exams will be conducted by the Commission for Technical, Vocational Education, and Training (CTVET) and will offer successful candidates the chance to proceed to technical universities for engineering and related programmes in the 2025/2026 academic year of tertiary institutions in Ghana.

The examination will take place in two parts, as the students sit the 2025 TVET exams. The first part will see candidates write the core subjects starting from June 30 to July 7, followed by a one-week break, and the elective subjects running from July 14 to July 28.

The Director General of CTVET, Mr Zakaria Sulemana, warned that any candidate, invigilator, examiner, or teacher found guilty of examination malpractice would face severe sanctions, including arrest by the Ghana Police. “Recorded cases of cheating would be reviewed by a disciplinary committee, and penalties may include subject cancellation, suspension, or barring from future exams,” he added.

To prevent cheating, the examination will use test serialisation, generating multiple versions of the same questions with rearranged question order and answer choices. “The main objective of serialisation is to eliminate or significantly reduce examination malpractices such as cheating and the leaking of questions,” Mr Zakaria explained.

The Director General emphasised that the exams assess a candidate’s ability to apply practical skills in various fields. “I urged all candidates to approach the exams with confidence, honesty, and a commitment to excellence and stay away from attempts to undermine the process through dishonest means,” he cautioned.

The TVET exam starts June 30; hence, all candidates are charged to obey the exam rules.
