2025 WAEC GCE

The WAEC for Private Candidates (PC) is an external examination conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) for individuals who are not currently enrolled in a secondary school. It is often referred to as the WAEC GCE (General Certificate Examination) and is available in two series each year: the First Series (January/February) and the Second Series (August/September). This exam is mainly for candidates who wish to:

  • Improve on previous WAEC results
  • Meet admission requirements for higher institutions
  • Gain a secondary school certificate for employment or personal development
Unlike the school-based WAEC exam, candidates register individually and write the exam at designated centers across West African countries.


WAEC GCE Registration Process:
To register for the WAEC GCE as a private candidate, you need to:

  • Purchase a Registration PIN – This is required to access the WAEC online registration portal. The PIN costs ₦29,000 and is available online on this page (Crystallink.ng).
  • Biometric Data Capture – WAEC requires both facial and fingerprint biometrics during registration. This must be done using approved biometric software.
At Crystallink NG, we offer both services:
  • WAEC PIN: ₦29,000 (Available online)
  • Biometric Capture: ₦7,500 (Available at our tutorial center)
We make the entire registration process easier and more convenient for you.
