The Tamale Training College, affectionately referred to as TaTCo, was established in 1958 under the leadership of a Swiss Missionary and educationist, Miss Frieda Mischler. Initially, the college was to provide female students training leading to the award of Certificate ‘A’ Post-Middle. In 1960, the college was officially commissioned by the then President of the Republic of Ghana, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
