Think Future, Think INTEC

 Think Future, Think INTEC | As an employee at a higher education institution, my friends always ask me about the opportunity, the benefit and the process of admission, either for their own kids or their family members. 

And among my circle of friends, we constantly update each other information that could benefit all members within the circle. It all started about social agendas (shopping, discounts, holidays etc) but as we grow wiser (not older!), opportunity to further study either for ourselves or our family members come into the agenda too.

One of our friends shared about INTEC, an educational provider located in Shah Alam Selangor. He mentioned that INTEC is well-known for its pre-university studies, Diploma and Professional Accountancy Programmes, backed with 30 years of excellent track records.

Intrigued by his suggestion, the group urged him to provide more information as some of the members have children that are about to leave high-schools. 

History of INTEC

INTEC is the acronym for International Education Centre and known as INTEC Education College. 

As mentioned before, INTEC has an excellent track record with more than 30 years of being an educational provider. 

INTEC was established at 1982 as a preparatory centre of Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM). The college was previously known as Center for Preparatory Studies or Pusat Pendidikan Persediaan (PPP). It was later known as Overseas Preparatory Program (OPP) or Program Persediaan Luar Negeri (PPLN) between the period of 2000 until November 2001, when it was renamed yet again as International Education Center to reflect its role as a provider of international education.

On 4 October 2010, it was upgraded to a college by the Executive Committee of UiTM. With the upgrade, the college was renamed as International Education College and even given a redesigned logo. However, it retains its acronym INTEC and motto, Distinctly Global. In 2014, INTEC has been privatised and no longer part of Universiti Teknolgi Mara (UiTM).
