The Computer Training Course (TCTC), Licence Number 2013-FHI-001, is a fully licensed and recognised Further and Higher Education Institution accredited by the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA).
For over 35 years, TCTC has been a trusted and established name in Malta’s education landscape. Founded in 1987 at a time when the country’s ICT sector was still emerging, TCTC quickly recognised the transformative potential of digital technologies and dedicated itself to bridging the digital divide across all communities. Beginning with a single classroom in Żejtun, the institution expanded steadily, eventually operating training centres across Malta and Gozo and collaborating closely with local councils to make lifelong learning accessible to all. Today, TCTC stands as one of Malta’s most reputable providers of accredited further and higher education, IT training, and digital skills development—continuously evolving its programmes, services, and international outreach to meet the needs of learners in a rapidly changing global landscape.
This statement is issued to provide clear and transparent guidance to international students, educational partners, government institutions, foreign embassies, and visa-vetting authorities, as well as the general public, regarding the relationship between TCTC and TCTC International, ensuring full understanding and alignment with all MFHEA regulations and licensing requirements.
Understanding TCTC International
TCTC International is not a separate institution and does not represent a change to the official licensed name of the institution. The sole official institutional name recognised by MFHEA is The Computer Training Course (TCTC). The term “TCTC International” is used exclusively as a branding and outreach arm of TCTC, created to support international visibility, communication, and student engagement. Its purpose is to provide a dedicated information point for international applicants and partners who may require tailored guidance due to differing fee structures, entry requirements, and administrative processes that apply to international learners—a common practice across the global education sector.
All academic, administrative, quality assurance, and operational functions remain fully integrated within TCTC as the licensed institution. All courses and qualifications promoted through TCTC International form part of TCTC’s MFHEA-licensed and accredited portfolio. There is no separate governance, no separate accreditation, and no independent institutional status associated with the TCTC International branding.
The website or promotional material referring to TCTC International exists solely to enhance clarity and accessibility for international audiences, particularly for students preparing visa applications, for embassies conducting background verification, and for government bodies reviewing educational credentials. These platforms remain fully aligned with TCTC’s official website and strictly follow MFHEA communication rules and guidelines, including the requirement that the institution name TCTC is always clearly presented as the official entity.
TCTC remains fully committed to transparency, regulatory compliance, and the highest standards of educational integrity. The use of TCTC International will continue to be applied only in a manner that supports international communication while respecting and upholding MFHEA’s regulatory framework and the institution’s officially licensed identity.
For all legal, academic, and accreditation purposes—whether for admissions, certification, verification, visa procedures, or recognition by Maltese or foreign authorities—the official institution name remains:
