NBTE Application Procedures for HND Application. If you are considering continuing your education with an HND, the new application process is straightforward: simply create an account and submit your information on the NBTE website. The online portal allows you to manage your application from start to submission. By modernizing the application system, the NBTE has opened HND programs to more eligible students.
