History

ALFA College was founded in 1998 as a ‘boutique’ design college in the Paramount Gardens district of Petaling Jaya and then relocated to its present site in 2010. In 2004, ALFA College came under the administration of the REAL Education Group and was officially renamed as ALFA International College in 2008. ALFA expanded its course offerings to include early childhood education in 2010 and more recently Business and English language.

The college's expansion into the field of early childhood education was part of a national effort underway in Malaysia to upgrade the quality of its preschool education programme.[5][6]
