History

INTEC Education College,(INTEC) was established at 1982 as a preparatory center of MARA University of Technology (UiTM). The college was previously known as Center for Preparatory Studies or Pusat Pendidikan Persediaan (PPP). It was then known as Overseas Preparatory Program (OPP) or Program Persediaan Luar Negeri (PPLN) in the period from year 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 given a redesigned logo.^[2] 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)

Role as UiTM's learning centre

INTEC is one of the preparatory colleges in MARA University of Technology (UiTM). Due to its location in Seksyen 17, Shah Alam, it is also known to some people as UiTM Seksyen 17. Despite the bumiputra-only admission policy of UiTM, INTEC admits non-bumiputra sponsored students. As of 2013, however, INTEC has been emancipated from UiTM and has established itself as its own private college.

Formerly known as the Centre for Preparatory Studies or Pusat Pendidikan Persediaan (PPP), the college is one of the pioneers of international education in Malaysia. The national economic downturn in 1997 allowed only the concentration of preparatory programmes for the United States and Germany. In the year 2000, the college changed its name to Overseas Preparatory Programme (OPP) or Program Persediaan Luar Negeri (PPLN). In 2001, it became known as the International Education Centre (INTEC) and finally in 2010 as International Education College (INTEC).
