About us
Paradise Valley College (PVC) was founded in 2004 with the vision of transforming higher education through innovation and excellence. Initially launched as a teacher-training institution, PVC quickly expanded into health, social sciences, and technology disciplines.
By 2008, the College had introduced its first undergraduate degree programs, marking a pivotal shift toward higher education. Subsequent accreditations allowed expansion into diverse programs such as Civil Engineering, Construction Technology and Management, Business Management, Information Technology, and Accounting.
Today, PVC operates across nine campuses, four of which provide undergraduate and postgraduate programs, and five dedicated to regional TVET training centers.
