Tumi English Training Centre (TETC)
"English for Work. English for Growth. English for the Future."
Overview
Tumi English Training Centre (TETC) is a professional adult education initiative established to meet the English language needs of Côte d’Ivoire’s working class. Whether you’re a public servant, entrepreneur, artisan, NGO worker, or preparing for migration, TETC offers targeted, flexible, and relevant training programs to help you communicate effectively in English.
As a project supported by the Research and Counselling Foundation for African Migrants (RECFAM), we are committed to making language a tool of empowerment for individuals seeking personal development, career growth, and global opportunities.
Our students are people with real responsibilities, real goals, and real ambitions—and our programs are designed to match their realities. We do not simply teach English. We teach you how to use English to unlock your next opportunity.
Professional Communication is the New Currency of Success
In today’s interconnected world, English is the dominant language of international trade, education, technology, diplomacy, and migration. Côte d’Ivoire’s rapidly growing economy and strategic position within ECOWAS demand a workforce that is linguistically equipped to engage beyond Francophone borders.

To bridge the English language gap for Côte d’Ivoire’s working class by offering practical, relevant, and affordable English language training that opens doors to jobs, education, migration, and self-confidence.
