TURNBULL TECH TRAINING COLLEGE

Why Turnbull Technical Training College?

WELCOME:
Our College offers core courses here to people with no disabilities as well as courses to disabled people. When registering, all students get a chance of learning the courses they prefer depending on her/his choices and skills.

There is a challenge for deaf students during class hours, but the teachers have improved their participation by having a Translator who is always helping our special students understanding the classes through Sign language translation; therefore I'm sure you will have a great time sharing ideas with disabled people through their studies in class.

We offer three kinds of courses: computer applications, full secretarial training (I, II, III) and hotel management. And we also give students the chance to study foreign languages, so that they can improve their English and learn other important languages such as Spanish, French, Chinese, Italian, German, too.

Most students' age ranges from 17 to 25 years old. They cooperate very well in class with each other. They are hard working and respectful, and attend classes following a daily schedule from Monday to Friday. However, they may go to school for self-study on Saturday.

Volunteering at our place will give volunteers the great opportunity, when classes are over, to see wild animals, Historical sites, Museums and Landscapes which surround us. All of these are found in our Iringa region, few kilometers from town. But also he/she will be interested in our local culture (for example, the Hehe tribe culture) and in a beautiful city, enjoying pleasant weather conditions and exuberant African plants, trees, flowers. In addition, volunteers will be interested in Water falls found at Udzungwa National Parks where Red colobus monkeys species may be seen, as well as spot the tallest trees in the World.

Furthermore Iringa is within Southern highland zone in Tanzania and the government has appointed Iringa as the centre of Tourism in Southern highland zone. When you come here, you will hear people saying "Welcome to Iringa, a world-class tourism site" because of the attractions we have here.
