Lawrence Green House
The Headquarters of the BVTB; the training facilities are located in the same building as our offices and this is our closest location to Bridgetown.

Thanks to the Skills Training and the Barbados Vocational Training Board, I have acquired the skills to earn an income both in a company and on my own. If you are going to work for someone – choose your own boss – and if you are going to work for yourself, prepare to work hard, long hours.
