In 2012 the community of Brown's Town in the garden parish of St. Ann was graced with this Community College of high strides. But inspite the tidal waves of school fees and own location it managed to climb the academic and skills training ladder.
The population was only 5 when it first took roots in the semi-populated Town, but was cushioned by the Apostolic teachings and prayers. Many of the training sessions have to date been held at the church in the areas of religion and workplace, gay tourism and people management.
The College has utilizes syllabus for Associate degree and Diploma courses. The trainees are guided and placed at Sandals Ochi Beach Resort for the Hotel training and job placements which have moved the College to the top of the tourism market. Many trainees however, after completing the HTP move to cruise ship, other hotels and the airport to show off their expertise.
From across the Board of Directors, the trainees are kept focused on academics and social displays of moral standards. After all they all are taught Ethics and people management.
The College is school fee funded and with the governing body Ministry of Education. From its foundation it has been nested with American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) and is the only registered Travel & Tourism College in the Caribbean, The Jamaica Tourist Board Tourism Action Club and International Air Transport Association (IATA).
