Sri Lanka Media Training Institute - SLMTI
1979 heralded the dawn of a new era where radical transformations took place in how the public of our nation were entertained, educated, and informed. With the expansion of the television industry in the mid 90’s, many private television stations spawned. These changes demanded the need for well trained television professionals who could meet the demands of a rapidly developing industry. In this context the Sri Lanka Television Training Institut (SLTTI) was inaugurated in 1984 to provide valuable service in training Television professionals who would be well versed in its theoretical, technological and social dimensions. The institute was run in collaboration with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) of Bonn, Federal Republic of Germany, Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation (SLRC), and Sri Lanka Foundation Institute (SLFI).
As the television industry evolved so did SLTTI. The institution which was run by SLFI became an autonomous entity under the Ministry of Mass Media and Information on 14th of November 2011. The solid foundation upon which the institute was built gave the necessary latitude to be agile and to respond positively to changing training needs.
Today we are the Sri Lanka Media Training Institute (SLMTI), a company established under the Ministry of Mass Media. As SLMTI we have an expanded mandate and work in all areas of the media, including print, radio, television, film, web and social media.
