Berekum College of Education was established in 1953 in Berekum in the Brong Ahafo Region with an initial student population of sixty (60) males and has now gone on to train thousands of teachers in the country.

However, your application can be denied/rejected due to some avoidable mistakes applicants make during the application process. That is why I have put this together to help guide you all the way.
