Our Story

“Training for Increased Productivity and
Self-Development.”


WHO WE ARE

Professional Trainers Institute (PTI), established November 1998, originated from the former Manpower Development of JAMPRO after the restructuring of the agency. The institution officially began operations at the Waterloo Road office of JAMPRO, and later re-established as a fully private entity. Today PTI is operating at 9 Cecelio Avenue, Kingston 10.

In July 2007, Hamilton’s College of Professional Training Limited was formed as the parent company of PTI. However, the management of the company decided to retain Professional Trainers Institute as the trading name since clients were already very familiar with the name.


 To be globally recognized as a reputable institution that utilizes effective training methods through programmes designed to empower, educate, and inspire individuals to reach their professional goals as well as improve competency in the workplace.
