However, to prepare ground for transition, fields of studies in technical education were created, then opened earlier at ENSAB through Ministerial order N° 000009/MINESUP of 27 March 2009 appointing Heads Of Department in ENSAB, while it was still part of the University of Yaoundé 1.

Located in Bambili, HTTTC of Bamenda is a professional school, training teachers for secondary technical education and directly opening to them a way into the public service. HTTTC was created with the first (three-year-studies) and the second (two-year-studies) cycles.
