It was established as a training centre for young men, and later women too, from different islands in Vanuatu to learn the bible and other technical skills, with the idea that they would be trained as 'teachers' who worked for the church locally. The institution was generally known by its initials, TTI, which apparently led to some confusion as to what the letters stood for. Tangoa is a small island off the south coast of Espiritu Santo, not to be confused with Tongoa (Shepherd Group) in the central part of Vanuatu. Minute Books 21 April 1947 - 31 October 1970.

Established by the Presbyterian church mission to the New Hebrides, it was established by synod in 1887 and officially opened in March 1895. It's first principal was missionary Reverend Joseph Annand from Canada, followed by Reverend Frederick G Bowie, who was principal until his death in 1933. At the institution, young men and, later, women from different islands in Vanuatu were trained in the Bible and taught technical skills, which, in the early decades at least, largely involved plantation work for the mission.41uhttp://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/pambu/digital/catalogue/index.php/minute-books-8zView this item in the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau Catalogue.
