Kolej Poly-Tech Mara Ipoh

The educational history of MARA Ipoh Poly-Tech College (KPTM Ipoh) began with its establishment as the MARA Institute of Commerce (IPM) in 1996. The courses conducted at that time included short-term courses such as computer, language, management and school education as well as a course long term namely the NCC Diploma conducted in a joint venture with the United Kingdom.

On 1st January 2004, MARA Infotech Academy (AIM) was absorbed under the management of KPTM Sdn. Bhd and changed its name to MARA Poly-Tech College Ipoh, Perak (KPTM Ipoh). Armed with the experience of conducting joint venture courses with foreign universities, this time KPTM IPOH began to offer internal courses, namely Diploma in Multimedia. This course of study was recognized by MQA in 2006 and this proves the college's continuous efforts to ensure quality education continues to be offered to students.

The change in status as a competitive IPTS has prompted KPTM Ipoh to continue to work hard to improve the quality of its education over time. Various efforts have been made such as academic development, infrastructure such as the construction of multimedia studios, laboratory equipment and the development of information systems and IT integration. The quality of college management is also enhanced through the development of human resource capital to be more competent.
