His Excellency envisioned a system of the highest quality that would be used to educate Nationals for the professional and technical careers necessary in a rapidly developing society. In ful�l t of that vision, the Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) was established in 1988 by Federal Law No 2 issued by the Late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Four colleges commenced that year. Since then, thirteen additional colleges and the Center of Excellence for Applied Research and Training (CERT) have opened throughout the Emirates to form the system of the Higher Colleges of Technology.

The HCT is governed by Board of Trustees which includes the Chancellor, H.E. Mohammad Omran Al Shamsi, who replaced H.E. Sheikh Nahayan Mubarak Al Nahayan, Minister of Culture, Youth and Community Development in April 2013, the Vice Chancellor Dr Abdullatif Al Shamsi & other quali�ed & experienced members from various sectors in the UAE, appointed by the Cabinet on the recommendation of the Chancellor. The Chancellor is the legal representative of the HCT system. The Vice Chancellor is responsible for the management of the HCT and the implementation of its regulations and resolutions.
