My last login and it read that I have already scheduled my interview day. I learnt I am supposed to send a hard copy indicating my interview day but I couldn’t get the chance to print it. Is a another way I can go for the interview without the handcopy. Thanks

    1. No Please, you will have to download and print before going for the Interview. Also, have you already submitted the Hard Copy to the District Office? You should do that too.

  51. Since we have so many department at the municipal assembly, which specific office are we suppose to submit the hard copy of the application at Ho Municipal Assembly

    1. Most people submitted at the office of the MCE. However, you should enquire when you get to the district office.

  52. Please am at Okai South but when I was registering I didn’t see the that district, but as I chose the region the system gave me Accra as a district can I still go to my district to submit.

    1. You can only submit at the preferred district you chose. So you will need to go to Accra Metro (if that’s what you chose) to submit.

  53. In Ashanti region, there is a district called Suame and that what I chose. Where can I locate the district office?

    1. Kindly call: +233 20 813 1968, +233 50 144 7555, +233 574 11 76 33 or send a WhatsApp Message to +233 244 28 4055

    1. Worlasi Explained this. He said: Your reference ID is at the top right corner of your Application output. Kindly lookout for a code with the prefix NABCOXXREGXXXX. Where X is your personal details on the code. The X represents the region from which you registered and your application number ( whether you were the 1 person or the 15th or 100th or 2000th person in Ashanti Region to register )

      Should you still have problems finding the Registration code, It’s beneath the bar code please.

    1. It’s not a “NABCO District Office”, but rather the normal district office. Submissions happen at the regular District office.

  54. please as I have already chosen my first preferred district and module. if I want to change it and will it be possible?

    1. You can’t change. However you can add a second and third choice module after 4th June, 2018.

  55. please as I have already chosen my first choice if I want to change it and make my third choice will it be possible cos I did fashion and design in school so I would like to teach

    1. Hi Ayaaba. You will be able to add a second and third choice after 4th June, 2018.

  56. Please I did hospitality in school and I want to work at a school. So what should I choose? Is it educate GH or what?

    1. Hello Janet, you would still have to go to the office that the district was under before it’s formation, if you are certain they don’t have an office yet.

  57. Hello Dickson,

    Your reference ID is at the top right corner of your Application output. Kindly lookout for a code with the prefix NABCOXXREGXXXX. Where X is your personal details on the code. The X represents the region from which you registered and your application number ( whether you were the 1 person or the 15th or 100th or 2000th person in Ashanti Region to register )

    Should you still have problems finding the Registration code, It’s beneath the bar code please.

    Thanks.

    1. Kindly wait a while and submit again. Otherwise, use a new browser or didn’t PC with a stronger internet. There could be a lot of pressure on the NABCO Website.
