Since the inception of the Polytechnic as a Trades Training Centre, its catchments area has been mainly the three regions of the north, that is, Northern Upper East and Upper West. In spite of the fact that three regions of the north, that is Northern  are now Polytechnics in very region across the country, the student population of the Tamale Technical University still has a reasonable level  of influence  in the three regions and even beyond.
