Newly installed President and Chief Executive Officer/CEO at Health, Education and Counselling Institute/HECOIN made a courtesy call on Jamaica’s High Commissioner to Trinidad and Tobago/TT Mr David Predergast recently.
Mr Jarrett; who was in the twin island Republic of TT signed a Memorandum of Understanding/MOU with Forde College/FC giving permission to that institution to deliver six International Certificates and three International Diplomas which are approved by the prestigious-based OTHM Qualifications, UK. HECOIN has exclusive license to deliver these Endorsed Learning Programmes through OTHM Qualifications.
During the visit, High Commissioner Prendergast was particularly impressed with the partnership of the two institutions where HECOIN/Jamaica would be giving support to an institution in TT. Having worked with the Caribbean Single Market and Economy/CSME certification Department in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade in Jamaica before taking on special assignment in TT one year ago, he urged both institutions to continue to provide world-class skills training especially leading to international recognition.
Principal of FC Mr Johnathon Forde was really excited about the partnership with HECOIN and has pledged the commitment of his 22 year-old institution to ensure that the standards of HECOIN are replicated at FC. He was particularly impressed with the international flavour being offered to his students which upon successful completion, will make them globally ready for employment.
In response, President at HECOIN Mr Jarrett says he is pleased with the efforts made by FC and is committed to provide the tutor and administrative support to make this partnership a success. During his presentation, he handed over the license of joint partnership along with the curricula of the nine programmes to be undertaken by FC.
A large number of interested persons have contacted and visited the offices of FC; who are expected to commence training as early as July 2016.
