ABERDARE TEACHERS TRAINING COLLEGE CBC TRAINEES AND TRAINERS
We give what we have, but how we give is up to us. The knowledge teachers share will always be shaped by who they are, and students will remember how teachers made them feel as they were learning.

The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
Teachers work with what they have. Their time and resources may be limited, but a young mind is limitless. Student passion for learning is all that is necessary for teachers to do their job.

Our Main Mission Is To Offer Quality Teachers Education and Training For Innovation, Research and National Development.
