Its primary goal is to contribute towards the development of education in Malaysia by creating wider options for our students as they pursue their higher education. SENTRAL Tech opened its doors to students on 1st January, 2002, marking a new educational beacon in the heart of Georgetown, Penang.

SENTRAL Tech is strategically situated in the heart of George Town off Macalister Road, behind Menara UMNO. Being away from the hustle and bustle of the main road (Macalister Road) provides a conducive place of study for the students and yet provides easy access to public transportation.
