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.

International Affiliations
Since the early 2000s, ICCT Colleges established strong ties and linkages with the People’s Republic of China, under the leadership of its Chairman, Dr William S. Co. Dr. Co desired to promote Chinese language and culture to the Filipino youth, by encouraging cultural activities in the different programs in the institution. As a result of its promotion, the institution received and accepted several foreign students from China. In the year 2004, it was authorized by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to accept international students. These international / foreign students are housed in the school dormitory, which can accommodate up to 120 students in its Sumulong Campus. Today, these foreign students / alumni are distinguished in their professions and productive citizens in China.
