 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.
