ACTT provides advice on the recognition status of post secondary and tertiary programmes and institutions operating internationally and locally.  Persons who wish to pursue a course of study, or who have completed a programme at a post secondary or tertiary institution, may apply to ACTT for a Statement on Recognition.  This Statement will provide information on the accredited/recognition status of both the institution and the programme.

ACTT is also responsible for quality assuring programmes that are delivered in Trinidad and Tobago, but which originate in other territories.  These are referred to as transnational programmes, which must undergo the process of Transnational Recognition, prior to delivery in Trinidad and Tobago.
