History

Early years

With the aim of honing skills in computer technology, The Institute of Creative Computer Technology was originally established in Rizal by Dr. William S. Co on 15 December 1992. By 1994, they began offering four-year degree programs. With the passage of Republic Act No. 7722 of the Higher Education Act of 1994, privately controlled educational institution's academic fees were deregulated. Currently, ICCT provides education with relatively cheaper tuition fees. [1]

Name change

In 2002, the name of The Institute of Creative Computer Technology was officially changed to ICCT Colleges Foundation Inc.

Seventh campus

The ground breaking ceremony of the Taytay campus was held in early 2009, headed by the Chairman, Dr. William S. Co and President, Dr. Consuelo L. Co. It has a size of 2500 sq. m. wide.

Eighth campus

The eight campus is the Binangonan Campus which has officially opened on 10 March 2009, headed by the Chairman, Dr. William S. Co and President, Dr. Consuelo L. Co, with guest of honor Gov. Casimiro "Jun" Ynares, M.D. (Rizal), Mayor Cecilio "Boyet" Ynares (Binangonan) and the members of Binangonan Municipal Councils. This brought the Philippines's most affordable and innovative quality education to Binangonan.
