The College has its roots in Ghana Telecom’s flagship Training Centre, which was one of a kind in West Africa. It was first used as a Royal Air Force (RAF) Training School during the Second World War and subsequently handed to Cable and Wireless to train Telecommunications Technicians for British West African Countries (i.e., Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and The Gambia). In 2005, Ghana Telecom’s management upgraded the infrastructure and equipment to modern standards in preparation for converting the training centre into a university for telecommunication and multimedia engineering & information technology. On November 01, 2005, GTUC was granted authorization to continue its preparation for accreditation from the National Accreditation Board (NAB). On March 30, 2006 GTUC was given accreditation and registered in terms of regulation 12(1) of the Tertiary Institutions (Establishment and Accreditation) regulations 2002, L.I. 170
