Barbados Community College

The National Transformation Initiative (NTI) is partnering with the Barbados Community College (BCC) to help you upskill and strengthen your expertise through globally in-demand training.

More now than ever, the national approach to lifelong learning, training and retraining, retooling and upskilling,  is pushing innovators to formulate new approaches and update existing ones to assist with learning for transformative education and development.


The notion that traditional learning alone can achieve the desired 
academic and professional results, is slowly becoming obsolete. Educational reform is slowly embracing the technological solutions, which can be effective tools for greater learning efficiency while simultaneously harmonizing a new era of critical thinking, by the current and future student.

The National Transformation Initiative (NTI) is one such eLearning solution offering unlimited access to over 12,500 course offerings by our global partner – Coursera – and it is just one keystroke away from your fingertips.

To our BCC students and faculty, we welcome you, and we look forward to your continued success at higher levels!

Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ)

I'm a bit lost. How can I get help?

You’re not alone on the NTI-Coursera platform. If you feel stuck or need help at any point, contact us here or contact our e-learner support desk at (246) 232-8566.

How can I find enough time to study?

One way to commit to your free Coursera online classes is to make a schedule that includes a reasonable amount of time to focus on studying. Here’s something we like to try: Give up that favourite series or social media scrolling for just 30 minutes a day. Start with that, see how much you can get done in that time, and adjust your time accordingly. You can even set a reminder on your phone daily or weekly so that you don’t miss your window to study.

How do I collect my certificate when I finish a course?

All course certificates are easily downloadable after completion. You can save them to your computer, share them on your social media pages, or print them to have them handy to showcase the achievement of your new skills.
