学院的前身是自立工艺学院（JIT），成立于1990年，旨在解决国家和工业对技能和实践培训的需求。 当时它是唯一一所向学生提供100％学习贷款以资助他们学业的私立学院。

十年后，自立学院（KI）正式成立。 它代表了JIT的新起点，经过品牌重塑，从旧巴生路的店铺搬到了安邦路马华大厦。 自立学院致力于提供优质和价格实惠的教育。自立学院专注于提供三个学术课程：电子与电气工程文凭课程，工商管理与办公技术文凭课程，和电脑与咨询工艺文凭课程。

配合政府的经济转型计划（ETP）和2020年愿景，为了建设高收入社会和发达国家，马华在2015年重整学院并更名为拉曼技职学院（VTAR），以帮助和培养更具创新能力和拥有熟练技巧的员工，以满足各行业的需求。
