Woodwork Technology Education is taught under the Faculty of Education at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU). The O’Level list is one of the most trade friendly on the ATBU admissions pages.
Metal Work, Wood Work, Building, Auto Technical and Electrical Electronic all count towards the credits. Candidates from technical colleges are well served by this programme.
Confirm that Woodwork Technology Education appears on the current ATBU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

ATBU Woodwork Technology Education Rewards a Technical Background
The O’Level requirement is five credit passes in English Language and Mathematics, with one of Biology or Agricultural Science, Physics, or Chemistry, and two more from a long technical list.
That list covers General Science or Integrated Science, Building, Technical Drawing or Fine Art, Metal Work and Wood Work, Health Science, Food and Nutrition, Auto Technical, Physical and Health Education, Electrical Electronic, and Geography.
The UTME combination is far shorter. English Language is compulsory, Mathematics and Physics are named, and the third paper is left entirely open.
Physics appearing at UTME but only as one option at O’Level is the mismatch to watch. A candidate who offered Chemistry or Biology instead will still have to sit Physics at JAMB.
Direct Entry asks for two ‘A’ Level passes in the subjects listed under the UTME requirements. A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at ATBU.
