Does GTT also do the equivalent of short courses, Summer school, or intensive training programs?

These might lead to something like NVQs:

They might suit people in a lot of circumstances in Fenspace, who wouldn't have the time to go in for full-time education.
The other thing you might want to look at are the old qualifications "City & Guilds":

Absolutely, I've edited the above to make note to that effect. (The 'General Spaceman' degree program is in fact a whole series of these kind of certifications, such as spacesuit maintenance and operations, basics of convention law, piloting certificates for various common craft type, orbital navigation, etc. Many entrants test out of half or more of the required courses by previous experience.)
