About the College

A teacher training institution located in Abetifi, Ghana. Established on February 7, 1952, with an initial intake of 30 male students, the college has evolved over the years to become a co-educational institution committed to excellence in teacher education.

The College initially offered the two-year Teacher’s Cert ‘B’ Course until 1963 when it was replaced with the Certificate ‘A’ 4-year Course. The phasing out of some Teacher Training Colleges in the country during 1973/74 academic year necessitated the relocation of students from Anum and Wiawso Training Colleges to Abetifi (Presbyterian) Training College.

With the passage of the Colleges of Education Act, Act 847 by the Parliament of Ghana on 24th March, 2012, Abetifi Presbyterian College of Education (ABETICOE), was fully accredited as a public tertiary institution, mandated to train pre-tertiary teachers. Currently, the College runs the newly introduced 4-year Bachelor of Education Programme in Junior High and Primary Education.
