Multimedia College

Institution Overview

Introduction

Multimedia College (MMC) or previously known as Telekom Training College was established in 1948 as a national provider of telecommunications training in Malaysia. Located at Jalan Gurney Kiri, Jalan Semarak Kuala Lumpur, MMC has been operating as a Private Institution of Higher Learning since 2000. The change of the institution's name from Telekom Training College to Multimedia College is to dispel the belief that this institution is limited to Telekom staff. While the main campus operates in Kuala Lumpur, five other branch campuses operate in Malacca, Taiping, Kuala Terengganu, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu.
