FRSC training allowance simply means how much is paid to FRSC recruits who are under training to become FRSC officers. FRSC Training Allowance is what we are about to discuss in this post. But before we do that, let’s first talk about this agency and what they stand for.
FRSC, which also means Federal Road Safety Corps, is a paramilitary organization in Nigeria which is in charge of maintaining the law of driving, making it possible to reduce the accident rate in the country. They are also the ones in charge of issuing driver’s licenses and vehicle plate numbers.
Previously, we wrote about the FRSC Salary, Ranks and Allowances but we never mentioned the training allowance. The reason is because the Federal Road Safety Corps training allowance is only meant for those who are still in training to become FRSC officers. So, in the actual sense, they are not yet FRSC officials until they graduate from training.
One other thing you should note is that once a trainee graduates from training, the training allowance will be stopped immediately, and they will now be entitled to a salary.
Now that we have discussed a little about this agency, let’s now look at the training allowance.
FRSC Training Allowance
FRSC training allowance ranges from ₦11,000 to ₦20,000 for those who joined the agency with an SSCE certificate, while those who joined with a BSc or HND are paid between ₦20,000 and ₦40,000 monthly.
FRSC Training Duration
Talking about the FRSC training duration, it depends on many factors. For example, those who join the agency with an SSCE certificate train for a period not exceeding 6 months before becoming full members of the FRSC, while those who will be commissioned as officers train for up to 12 months before they graduate.
For those who join the agency with a National Diploma or NCE, they also train for a period not exceeding 6 months.
