Information:
The GTTI in Gambia started functioning in 1983 with
the offering of craft level programmes in a selection
of technical and commercial disciplines and qualifications
awarded by the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), City and
Guilds of London Institute (CGLI), & Pitman Training
UK.
Since 1983, the educational institute has broadened
its curriculum from craft level provision to full technological
certificates; from Pitman and RSA programmes to AAT,
ABE and ACCA programmes in Business Studies; from manual
short-hand to computerized stenography; from Further
Education Teacher training to Higher Teacher training
and during the last several years an HND in Building
Construction Management taught in conjunction with the
University of the Gambia and South Bank University in
the UK.
The legal framework establishing the Gambia Technical
Training Institute (GTTI)
was instituted by the National Vocational Training Act
of the National Assembly in 1980 to provide training
to City and Guilds and equivalent levels for post -'O'
level students creating opportunities to meet the requirements
of the middle level technical and vocational human resource
requirements of the Gambia.
The importance of GTTI in the strategy for vocational
education and training is demonstrated in the decision
to merge the National Vocational Training Centre (NVTC)
with the institute in 1989 and for GTTI to take over
all day-to-day financial and administrative transactions
of the centre.
There are currently around 1200 students enrolled in
over 60 vocational courses.
