Established in 1997, the institution began its journey as YES Academy under the initiative of its Founder and Chief Executive Officer Wyatt Yap. It was renamed YES International College in October 2017.
According to the college, more than 10,000 students have studied at the institution since its establishment and have subsequently pursued careers in a range of professional fields.
The college campus is located at Megan Avenue II on Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, around five minutes from the Petronas Twin Towers. The location places students in one of the city’s major commercial and financial areas, surrounded by offices, shopping centres, restaurants and public transport facilities.
The college says the central location also allows students to gain exposure to Kuala Lumpur’s business and professional environment while pursuing their studies.
YES International College offers programmes across a variety of disciplines, including business, computer science, accounting, fine arts, English, hospitality, education and science. Several of its programmes are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), according to the institution.

The institution also caters to students interested in creative professions, offering programmes in areas such as graphic design and visual communication.
Logistics and supply chain management is another area of study offered by the college, reflecting the growing importance of the sector in the regional economy.

The college also accepts international students and provides opportunities for overseas applicants to pursue higher education in Malaysia.
International applicants can apply for their preferred programmes by submitting the required academic and identification documents, according to the institution.
For students from Bangladesh and other countries, studying in Kuala Lumpur can also offer exposure to Malaysia’s multicultural and multinational environment. The city is home to a diverse business community, providing students with opportunities to develop professional networks and gain familiarity with an international working environment.
