About Us
Section 6(2)(g) of Act 768 states that the MBOT Board of Directors is empowered to establish a council to evaluate the quality assurance of academic programmes in the 24 fields of technology under the purview of MBOT. To ensure that academic programmes meet the needs of stakeholders, particularly industry, in terms of workforce supply, MBOT agreed to establish the TTAC on 13 October 2016 to evaluate the development and delivery of academic programmes by Educational Provider (EP), as well as to act as a Joint Technical Committee (JTC) between the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and MBOT, in compliance with the requirements for professional programmes and professional qualifications stipulated under Sections 50-55 of the Malaysian Qualifications Agency Act 2007 (Act 679).
