International Education Corporation's history dates to 1982 when United Electronics Institute was founded in Los Angeles County, California. In 1989, the corporation expanded to become United Education Institute (UEI) to reflect the addition of a broader range of training programs in the career education field.

The International Education Corporation (IEC) holding company was formed in 1996 to accommodate plans for growth through expansion of existing UEI programs, in addition to the acquisition of new schools.

In 1996, IEC acquired the option to purchase Advanced Career Training (ACT), a career school business in operation since 1975. This acquisition was finalized in January, 1998. In 2009, United Education Institute became UEI College to further expand it’s program offerings to include degree granting curriculum. Today, IEC is the parent company of both UEI College and ACT, with a total of nine schools nationwide.

UEI College's first campus was established in Van Nuys, CA in October of 1983. Since then, additional Southern California sites have opened, including campuses in Huntington Park (September, 1989), San Diego (October, 1990), Ontario (June, 1997), Chula Vista (August, 1999), San Bernardino (September, 1999), and El Monte (March, 2005).

ACT’s main campus is located in Jacksonville, Florida with a campus in Morrow, Georgia. All campuses were in full operation when IEC acquired ACT in 1998.

We respect our past as we have trained, educated and placed thousands of students who are now leaders within their specific areas. We have also learned a great deal and we embrace the simplicity of the major levels of our enterprise as well as the complexity of operating effectively in the education space. With the extensive knowledge, the depth and breadth of experience of our management team in the “education” sector, we are very well positioned to enjoy growth with quality, integrity, and a strong commitment to excellence.

We plan to grow organically through increasing distribution lines through new branches and other viable delivery models. Moreover, we plan to facilitate our growth through strategic acquisitions, enabling us to design and build a platform that would support multiple programmatic verticals serving students from diploma through high level degree programs. With IEC’s long history, experience and top-talent, we are poised to achieve the extraordinary.
