Below are a few FAQs pertaining to this programme or course:

Is there a fee for attending Skills Training Programmes (STP)?

Barbadians do not have to pay any tuition fees to attend the Board’s Skills Training programme. Tuition is free of charge. In addition the Board provides all students with a stipend which will assist with expenses including lunch and transportation costs. Non-Barbadian students with the requisite visa are required to pay tuition fees.
Do I have to bring/buy tools for my class?

Trainees are not expected to bring their own tools to class. They are however encouraged to save some of their stipend towards the purchase of tools and equipment for their personal use after they have completed training and have begun their careers.
Can partial payments be made for the Evening programme?

No, the programme cost must be paid in full at the time of registration.

St. Lukes Skills Training Centre
This centre is located at the old St. Luke’s Girl’s school and offers classes in Carpentry, Plumbing, Auto Electronics and other disciplines.

The Apprenticeship Programme has been a good experience. I learned a lot at Structural Systems during the on-the-job training. Within three years, I began as an Apprentice Welder and have become an Operator, by gaining experience in welding, fabrication, and by receiving Autocad training. I enjoyed the theoretical training at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Polytechnic. The teachers were helpful and kind, especially Mr. Ian Harvey.
