PTE (Pearson Test of English) and ApplyBoard are simplifying the journey for Nigerian learners pursuing study, work, and migration pathways. By aligning ApplyBoard’s application support with PTE’s English-language assessment, this helps applicants understand requirements earlier, plan with confidence, and move from preparation to submission more smoothly.
For institutions, this supports a stronger pipeline by helping applicants plan earlier, reduce delays, and submit complete files.

Demand for global education and mobility from Nigeria grows. In U.S, Nigerian student enrolment reached 20,029 in 2023/24, up 13.5 per cent year over year (Open Doors 2024). In UK, the number of Nigerian students rose from 10,685 (2017/18) to 44,195 (2021/22), highlighting the scale and urgency of getting applications and language testing right. As demand rises, timely access to English testing and clearer guidance is the difference between meeting deadlines and missing an intake—so this partnership simplifies the journey and improve readiness at a key step.
