Institution Profile

Introduction

Travex International College is a private institution of higher learning established in 1998. It is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

The growth of Travex International College was spurred by the expansion of Travex Institute of Tourism in opening up more opportunities for Malaysians and the world, moulding young school leavers and mature adults who love the travel and tourism profession.

Travex has come a long way since its establishment in 1985 to become a household name as it is today among the airlines, travel agencies, hotels, restaurants and other travel related companies, which are constantly seeking our graduates for employment even 'booking' our students in advance for employment before they graduate.

Travex has been diligently promoting the travel and tourism industry to the public. Previously, when tourism education was hardly talked about, young school leavers and parents shy away from a career in the travel or hotel industry. Currently, tourism represents 60 percent of worldwide employment.

Travex International College emphasises on quality education and training. Travex aims for a 100% passing rate in all its intakes. Outstanding results have been proven by students.
