We only offer part-time courses/programmes to the general public. This makes attending ATC an excellent option for those balancing their studies with work or personal commitments. Diploma programmes generally run for one year. Short courses can range from one-day sessions to multiple sessions lasting several months.
Students registering for Diploma level 2 programmes should have reached at least Form 5 in secondary school. Students registering for Diploma level 3 programmes should have the Diploma level 2 in the relevant qualification. Most short courses do not have any prerequisites. Check for specific prerequisite requirements on the specific programme / course pages.
We only offer part-time classes to the general public, and these classes are usually scheduled on evenings and weekends only. Corporate training, however, is usually scheduled on mutually convenient days and times; therefore, training sessions for corporate clients may be held in the daytime on weekdays if requested.
It's a very simple process. WhatsApp your email address, a picture of your ID/DP and proof of payment of the registration fee to (868)758-3760 or (868)788-0403 to start the process. Once ATC is satisfied with the information you have sent, the registration form will be sent to you to complete the process. No registrations are performed at the branch offices.

Our branch offices are located in Curepe and San Fernando. These offices are open to the public on Saturday mornings between 8:30 am and noon. We encourage students and customers to contact us by phone/whasapp/, or email during standard business hours.
Our City & Guilds, NEBOSH, and ILM certifications are respected locally and across the Caribbean and beyond. Graduates work for major corporations and small firms alike. In addition, ATC has provided customized corporate training for many companies, and it is an ATC certificate that the companies receive at the end of the training.
Many companies contact us directly to offer employment opportunities to our graduates. ATC has systems in place to notify graduates of these opportunities, and we facilitate the submission of resumes of interested and eligible students to these companies.
Some short courses are fully online, while others are in person. Longer short courses and year-long programmes are typically blended. Blended programmes have a combination of online tuition and in-person classes. View the specific course page or speak with an advisor for more details.
