History

Early years

The Institute of Creative Computer Technology was originally established in Rizal by Dr. William S. Co on 15 December 1992 because Dr. Co wanted to help the people of Rizal acquire skills in computer technology. 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. Unlike the other universities and colleges who used this as an most value for money. Until today, ICCT Colleges continues to provide the most affordable tuition fees. This makes it stand out among its peers.[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.
