The ETTC offers vocational training. A Vocational Training Centre was built within premises of the ETTC and with the support of the UK government. The opening was attended by Dr John Jenkins, UK Ambassador to the Republic of Iraq and Safeen Dizayee, KRG Minister of Education in June 2010.

The VTC follows standard safety regulations to provide optimal training with spacious workshops for practical and class rooms for theoretical instructions.
