The Essequibo Technical Institute is committed to equipping learners with the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary to thrive in today’s dynamic business environment. Our suite of business programmes is designed to cater to a diverse range of interests and career aspirations, providing a solid foundation in both theoretical concepts and practical application.
At the core of our educational approach are two key frameworks that guide our delivery and assessment of learning:
Competency-Based Education (CBE):
This learner-centered approach emphasizes the development of measurable skills and practical abilities. Students' progress is based on demonstrated mastery of competencies, ensuring they are workplace-ready and capable of applying their knowledge in real-world scenarios.
Guyana Technical Education Examination (GTEE):
As a national standard of assessment, the GTEE ensures that students meet established benchmarks in both academic and technical areas. Our programmes are aligned with GTEE requirements, allowing learners to earn recognized certifications that support their advancement into employment or further studies.
