History[edit]
Vector Technology Institute evolved from the training department of Vector Design Limited (VDAS) which was established in 1983 as a computer sales, service and consulting company in Kingston, Jamaica. The training department of Vector Design Limited (VDAS) was created in part due to the lack of highly skilled and certified computer technicians in the information technology industry.
